Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is dynamic pricing?

A: When the price of a good or service changes relative to market conditions, it is dynamic. You might be familiar with this across other industries - hotels, airlines, rideshare, and more. In parking, this means increasing rates when demand is higher and decreasing rates when demand is lower so you are always charging the optimal price.

Q: Will this work at my facility?

A: SpotHero IQ works best at locations that sell daily transient rates. SpotHero IQ is not optimized for airport/off-airport facilities or facilities that sell event/monthly rates only.

Q: What dynamic rates will be available at my facility?

A: SpotHero IQ uses a proprietary algorithm to show dynamic rates to customers based on the facility type and location as well as the day, start time, and duration of the reservation. Because the algorithm considers multiple factors, your facility will now have thousands of available rates that will align with demand. Better yet, SpotHero IQ is always learning and continues to improve with each search.

Q: Do I have control over my rates?

A: Yes! SpotHero IQ offers Self-Service Floors and Ceilings, which are facility-specific minimum and maximum pricing parameters that can be set directly through the SpotHero Control Panel. Even with dynamic pricing, you’re still in control and can adapt your rates to your facilities’ unique needs.

Q: How much will this impact my bottom line?

A: By aligning rates with demand and increasing available rate options, we’ve seen some big revenue increases at SpotHero IQ facilities. Your specific results will vary, but on average we have seen partner facilities increase revenue by 20% or more as compared to traditional online rates.
