The Parking Spot is an off-airport parking company based in Chicago, Illinois. Founded in 1998 by Martin Nesbitt, the company grew quickly to become a distinctive brand with hundreds of millions of passengers annually. The company's first backer was Penny Pritzker, a member of the prominent Pritzker family that founded and largely owns Hyatt.

The Parking Spot has 70+ near airport locations across 45 U.S. airports, as of 2025.

In 2011, The Parking Spot was sold to real estate investment group Green Courte Partners LLC for $360 million. Its loyalty rewards program, The Spot Club, crossed the million-member mark in 2016. In August 2019, the company announced a partnership with SpotHero, a digital parking marketplace, to allow for booking through their interface.
