      On July 5th, around 1400 local time, I booked parking through way.com The parking was supposed to have free cancellation, as advertised on their website.It was supposed to be at 1430 that day until July 19th at 1630. It said the price was $6.95 a day, but didn't send me a receipt except for a "free membership".I had to download an app to get a receipt. Upon downloading the app I discovered I was not getting the price advertised and that I only had the option to cancel and receive an undisclosed number of "Way Bucks". Instead I tried calling, but by the time I got through, I was on hold past the check in time. They said since it was past checkin they couldn't refund me. I did not park with them and insisted I needed it cancelled and that they should refund the $275, since it was much more than the advertised price. They were supposed to call me back, but I have not yet received a call.

      Hello ***,

      We sincerely apologize for the confusion and inconvenience you have experienced with your parking reservation through Way.com. We understand that discrepancies in pricing and the challenges faced in obtaining a refund can be frustrating.

      Upon reviewing your booking details, it appears there was a misunderstanding regarding the rates advertised. Our manager attempted to contact you to clarify the situation but unfortunately could not reach you. Please note that the rates for the location you booked have never been as low as $6.95 per day. The correct rates for the dates of your reservation were as follows: July 5th-8th at $20 per day, July 9th-16th at $13.95 per day, and July 17th-19th at $9.95 per day.

      We regret any miscommunication regarding the cancellation policy and the issuance of Way Bucks instead of a direct refund. We are committed to ensuring our customers' satisfaction and would like to resolve this matter to your contentment. Our customer service team will reach out to you shortly to discuss a suitable resolution. In the meantime, if you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      The solution here is clear - the business can issue a refund. I appreciate the fact that they are trying to reach me; but I already reached out to customer service and tried to resolve the issue. When they said they could contact me later, I informed them that I was leaving for international travel for two weeks and would have very little access to phones. I followed their processes - attempting to cancel via the website (advertised as free cancellation) and was only given an option for "way bucks" - then when I reached customer service, after a long wait, it was after "check in time" and they wouldn't cancel. I made the call well before check in time and never utilized the service. 

      Again, I appreciate that customer service would like to follow up, but the resolution here is to simply follow through on the customer commitment and return the money. At no point in my transaction was a rare other than $6.95 shown - despite what is said in the response. And at no point was a total rate or receipt made available to me - when I "paid" it appeared as if all I did was make a reservation and sign up for a $0 (free) membership for the first month.

      I am also concerned that this business has not cancelled this "membership" and will continue to charge me in the future. I emailed and requested that they cancel any membership, but didn't see a reliable way to confirm.


      Sincerely,

      We purchased discounted parking through way.com (under their other name cheapestairportparking) at ************ parking lot for a trip to ****** that lasted two weeks. We purchased it for $141 when we went to leave there was no ** code to enter at the kiosk which was unmanned after spending almost an hour, backing up out of the line for others, to pass me being on the line with way.com as well as the kiosk button verbal attendant. They actually spoke together by me, holding my phone up to the kiosk. The representative for way.com said it was a glitch on their end that the ** did not appear on our email, and that our money would be reimbursed if I would put my credit card in and pay the $195 that I was now being charged full price for . I told him to take down the information and also tell them it took me almost an hour to get out of the lot and when I got all these emails they only reimbursed us for the $141 that we originally booked, for they just canceled our order and offered nothing else, we couldve easily spent just the 210 to park at the airport. We were trying to save money for our trip so we could do things on our trip. It was a mile from the airport and we had to use the transit system and spend $15 more to get to the parking lot , we would like reimbursement for the difference between 141 that we expected to pay and 195 that we had to pay. Thank you just that this business upholds their end as advertised. The tracking code from way.com instead of an i it may be a 1.

      Hello Joy,

      We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with your parking reservation. We understand that the absence of the ** code caused significant delays and confusion, and we regret the frustration this has caused. It is clear that this situation fell short of the high standards we strive to maintain for our customers.

      We appreciate your feedback and have taken note of the tracking code discrepancy you mentioned. Our team is actively working to ensure such glitches are rectified promptly in the future. As a gesture of our commitment to customer satisfaction, we are providing a $54 credit towards your future reservations with us. While we are unable to offer a cash refund for the additional amount paid, we hope this credit will serve as a token of our goodwill and assist you in your future travel plans.

      Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We value your business and are dedicated to making things right. Should you have any further concerns or need assistance with your credit, please do not hesitate to contact us.

      Booked and prepaid $25 parking in nyc garage on Way.com website. When i went to the garage they said the reservation was not valid because i came in too late and made me pay again. My reservation was from 9am to 5pm that day and i came in at 10:12am I reached out to Way as there was nothing indicated about me getting to garage before a certain time and they said they will look into it but never got back to me. Reached out a few times asking for a $25 refund, provided receipt of the fee paid for reservation as well as receipt from garage showing that i paid garage directly but still no response. Seems like a scam practice. Plus i found out that they somehow automatically signed me up for a membership which i did not select. Very questionable business practice which leads me to believe this is scam.

      Been using way.com for years, recently they got very sneaky and shady about some type of $1.50 subscription.After choosing to book a parking and get to checkout page, I noticed that a box that was auto-checked about signing up a subscription. I unchecked it, and was a bit annoyed.I proceeded to add my credit card to pay, after card-add page, I was taken back to the checkout page, THE CHECKBOX WAS CHECKED AGAIN! I unchecked AGAIN and swiped/clicked pay button, a page showed up asking my email and phone number.Provided email and phone number on the page, then was taken back to checkout page again and BOOM, THE **** CHECKBOX FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION WAS CHECKED AGAIN.Had to uncheck again and was finally able to pay. Essentially way.com tried to sneakily sign me up for their service that I DID NOT ASK FOR, THREE TIMES! This has got to be close to scamming and something that can result in fines right?Would love to have an answer from way.com about why this is setup the way it is. Is it the money?

      In summary, I was charged twice by the same company for the same service. One charge was in the name of Way.com and one in the name of Global Parking (both the same company according to BBB records). The company only had to pay one parking lot owner, because my car was only in one lot during the term of service. So the company has improperly received $52.40 for which it incurred no expense and provided no service.On April 6, I was prepared to purchase a spot in a parking lot in **********($52.80) and had the spot in my cart and was reviewing the terms before hitting the "buy" button. During my review, I found that the shuttle for that lot did not begin service until 7 am, after the time we needed to leave for the airport. I quickly found another lot that had shuttle service beginning at 6.a.m. in ************ ($35.85) I was unable to find the open browser tab for the Alexandria lot but checked my email and had not received a receipt. I then made the $36.85 purchase and got a receipt.It is obviously difficult to prove you never received an email that a company says it sent as Way.com did in its response to my credit card company. However, in this case I can prove without a doubt that I had a purchase in the Way.com system on which I never acted. I received two emails on behalf of the company asking me to complete my purchase that was in the cart after the charge was made. It is unthinkable that a company would charge a customer for an item that was put in the "cart" before the "buy" was hit. What is unconscionable is that Way.com employees changed the details of the transaction in the response to my dispute. They responded to my credit card company using the details of the transaction that I did approve to bolster their claim that I made the disputed transaction. I would ask BBB to have Way.com dba Global Parking submit the details of both the $52.40 and $36.85 transactions so I can prove I was charged twice for the same service.

      ********,

       

      Upon examining the reservation details, it has come to our attention that there is an ongoing dispute regarding the charge from Way.com. We kindly request that you withdraw the dispute so we may proceed with issuing your refund. Currently, the dispute status is preventing us from processing the refund, as it triggers a company-wide block on the transaction.

      I booked a parking spot but realized that it was the wrong location. The website said that there is a free refund before the scheduled date, and this was almost 15 minutes after I booked the spot which is almost a week before my trip. **** then refunded me, but in "Way bucks", but I wanted a refund in my account.

      I sent the below email to Way.com and have not received an adequate response from the business:I am writing to request a refund for our parking through way for this specific location (***********). While the reviews were decent, our experience was not good at all, which led to us not even parking at this site. Upon arrival, due to the tight constraints of the parking lot, we were told to leave our car on the side of the road and they would move it, unacceptable. Since we were a party of 7, the shuttle driver also advised us that he would not be able to shuttle us to the airport, that we would have to shuttle ourselves, then come back and park the car, then he would take the driver back. This is wholly unacceptable as one of the reasons we chose this lot was to be shuttled. What is the point in taking ourselves to the airport, then coming back to park the car. When we told him we didn't agree with that idea in a very polite manner, he became very hostile with us. It was at this point that we decided to move on and not park at this location. It turned out to be a bigger hassle than a convenience for us. We've used Way.com parking before and have had great success, this was not the same experience. Since we did not use this lot at all, please process a refund. The first response I received form the company was that we had to cancel before our check in time, which is ridiculous. The issue that I have is how I am supposed to cancel beforehand if the issue/problem is with the parking site at the time of check in? Yes, the problem was with the facility. If I had known before, I would certainly not have selected this site and not used way.com parking at all. We paid for a service that was described on your site, and upon arriving at said site, the service was not what was advertised at all. I have tried to reach out several times, more emails and using the app to resolve this, but no one i reaching back out to me.

      Hello,

       

      We sincerely regret the inconvenience you have encountered. As a service intermediary, we depend on our partners to deliver the shuttle services as advertised on our platform. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this situation may have caused. Our website outlines the redemption steps, which include contacting the parking lot and coordinating with your valet driver for vehicle pick-up/drop-off at the specified location, as shown in the attached screenshot. The service for parking was provided, hence the decision to deny the refund. A refund would be issued if the service had been denied. It is important to note that we compensate the parking lots upon reservation, and reaching out post check-in means the space was reserved and unavailable to other customers. We value your patronage and seek your understanding in this matter.

      Reservation GAP45990136 I was allowed to book parking on this vendor's website for 9am on 6/19/24, for 6/20/24. I arrived to the location. I entered the hotel to inquire as to where to park my vehicle. The hotel employee advised that the shuttle would not make airport runs until 10:30am. I had to race to find another lot, making me even later for my flight. I emailed customer service for a full refund of $35.80. The email correspondence indicated that they would not refund my money. Please see the attached email correspondence.

      I purchased a nice of parking (2 days) planning for overnight parking in a gated, safe lot. I showed up and was leaving my car with luggage to go to our hotel and the attendant informed me the gates are not closed at night and there is no attendant at night. It is also NOT covered as they keep insisting . I was THERE.. it is fully outdoors . I had to leave and pay valet at the hotel for a $72 a day change instead , despots trying to plan ahead. $20 isnt much but its the principal that they keep lying that the service they were providing is something it was not .

However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic.
