I tried to place an order for parking at **************************** today, 5/3/24. The website requested credit card information before allowing me to inspect and agree to my purchase.When I tried filling in additional information requested (burthdate to park a car?!?) The site froze on me and would not advance or go back.After trying to complete 4 tines to no effect I gave up and called customer service. They informed me they had charged my card for all four. And informed me I now needed to go to another site to cancel and get a refund. Over and over and wasted hours and I still have no place to parkmy carBusiness Response

I ordered parking on 4/15 in Fastrack ******. Once we got there the company informed me that way overbooked and was supposed to send a message but didnt. So I had to run around ****** to find parking last min during the boston marathon in order to not miss my flight. After way confirmed that i wasn't lying and parking was full they told me to email them a copy of my receipt. So I did that. They told me they need a copy of the new receipt of the parking lot I booked PRIVATELY after. So I sent that. It's been almost a week and no response. If they can not fix this I will push this through my bank and report the company to my general attorney because I literally almost missed my flight, and paid more for parking else where.Business Response

This place is absolutely terrible. I had a reservation for parking TWO WEEKS in advance of my flight, and I get there and they tell me it's full and I can't park there. They tell me to try the place next door, and that place is full too. I had no other choice, because I needed to make my flight on time, but to park in the JFK parking lot which cost me over $400 MORE than what I was paying through Way.com. But then of course no one wants to take responsibility for the payment even though it wasn't my fault that I had to park there.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: they said they were issuing a refund but they had already refunded the money from the lot that turned me away, not for the lot that was significantly more expensive in which I ended up having no choice but to park in. That is the refund I am looking for.

Hi *******,
Unfortunately, our system doesn't allow us to refund anything more than what is paid to us. This has been mentioned in our cancellation and refund policy as well in the terms and conditions that you have accepted at the time of your booking. As this is an inventory issue and Way cannot be held liable for any facility issues as we do not operate them physically. We apologize again for the inconvenience caused to you by this incident. Thanks for your understanding and patience.

I purchased parking space on 3/16/2024 and confirmed with order no OGI44228546. But on 3/29/2024 around 8 am ish when I arrived at the parking lot ***************************** PREMIUM, I was told the lot full no more parking space and was asked to call way.com to cancel it. I have to quickly park at the ******** term parking in order to catch the flight. I did call way.com to cancel it after I check-in my flight at ***********. Spoke to ******* and she understood what happened and asked me to submit the receipt after I return from the vacation. When I returned I was charged by JFK long term parking for $280. I submit the receipt to *******, she cancelled my way.com order and refund me $88.19. I am asking way.com to compensate $191.81 because when I purchased the parking, it was available, I should not be worry about no parking space when I arrive the parking lot. Yet, I was told lot full, way.com should not continue to sell the space when there is no space available. way.com should inform me at least 1-2 day earlier if there is no space at the parking lot. way.com fail to do that and it cost me to pay extra $191.81. This is not a good business practice when confirmed the purchased of the parking space to customer and then continue selling space even the parking lot is full.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:way.com push the responsibility to the parking lot. I just checked, that parking lot is still on the list with highly rated reviews. However, my review was not even published to prevent people getting into the same situation I had before.
I hope in BBB website at least people can see the complaint and be very carful about this to avoid the costly mistake way.com has caused me.

If they accept reviews as per their guidelines, it will be published on our website under their parking facility. Thanks for your understanding.

Agree with prior comments on the BBB website! I used Way.com to secure a parking space, and they are now charging me $1.95 for a monthly subscrtiption to Way+ sapphire that I did not agree to except by their deceptive business practices of automatically subscribing a customer to their services. They even had the gall to send me a notification with a "Confirmation Number." I immediately went to their website but saw that there was nothing to be cancelled and figured it was a false email. Then now 2 months later I realize they have been auto charging my credit card. Again when I followed the instructions on their original "notification" email to go to the website but there is NO WAY to cancel the subscription and NO WAY to cancel my credit card off the website and NO WAY to call them (When you choose the appropriate option the phone line goes dead). I want this canceled immediately, and I would like all the subscription fees I've been forced to pay over the last 2 months - almost 3 months next week. What a disappointment.Business Response
Date: 04/29/2024
Hi *******,
Thank you for notifying us about your inconvenience and cancellation request of the subscription charges. Please note that you have been subscribed to our Way+ Sapphire subscription plan as a trial version and was notified by a confirmation email and also, another email with an option to proceed with cancellation or continued usage from the next month onwards before it becomes paid. We assume that both emails went unnoticed and the subscription continued to charge you. However, as per your request we have cancelled your subscription with a refund and you won't be getting any charges in the future. Thanks for your understanding and patience.

I am rejecting this response because:1. you only refunded me $1.95. You charged me $1.95 x 2 months so the total refund should total $3.90
2. there was no way to cancel the program. I checked and looked many times, your website wouldn't even let me delete my credit card. The website and emails were deceptive.

I arrived at ************** at 9:15 am for an 11 am flight. I expected to arrive at the terminal by 9:35.The shuttle to the airport arrived at 9:35. We then waited 10 min for a new driver because the driver was tired. The new driver spent 10 minutes chatting with his buddies. The shuttle left the premises at 9:55 despite our telling the driver we were going to miss our flight. He said yah yah, you have plenty of time. We arrived at *** at 10;15 with not enough time to check bags and go through security. As a result we missed our flight due to the parking employees absolute lack of urgency or concern that we get to the airport timely. As a result of their ineptitude I had to incur $1K in charges to rebook. *** needs to do some due diligence about whom they partner with.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: Way bears responsibility for whom they partner with. Amazon and Temu, for example, are third-party marketplaces and in fact take responsibility for timely delivery and refunds for dissatisfied customers. The issue is not the shuttle. The issue is that Ways vendor/partner made it impossible to make our flight and caused me to incur an additional $1500.00 for our trip. Additionally, despite Ways claim to the contrary because we missed the flight we did NOT use the parking, because we had to go home. Way is the reason we accessed this vendor, which we otherwise could not have. The vendor is at fault for failing to get us to the airport. Way is at fault for using the vendor. This is shady company.*****************************

So then I called and they would not give my $ back and they charged my card $15. more then what I aggreed to. Way seems to be a fraud company they sell spaces they don't have and then they Say its my fault. Beware they do not give a money back refund. Bad experience. dont use them.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:The garage was full. OK... But thats not the issue. When I called for a refund 4 hours after I made the reservation I made a request for a refund. I was told I needed to call and I needed receipts and I needed proof and you needed to verify things. So you were hoping that I would not follow through and you could keep the $. It was not until I got the BBB involved that you actually refunded my $. Horrible business plan and just down right criminal. I am finally getting a refund but people need to be warned about your practices.

We have asked you the alternate receipt to keep in our records while reaching out to the facility to avoid such incidents in the future. This is a refund procedure as advised by the parking facility to avoid instances were they cannot verify the issue. Please understand that we have tried our best to help you from our end as a valued customer. Unfortunately, we were not informed about this issue prior by the lot and we were notified only when customers escalated this issue to us. We hope that you can understand our position in this matter.

I purchased parking today on 4/17/2024 for a check in time of 8:00pm. I arrived to the parking lot after 8:00pm, drove around the parking lot about 5 times and there were about 3 other cars driving around as well ... parking lot was full. My flight departs SFO at 10:35pm and boards at 9:55pm. I needed to park and leave as soon as possible. I ended up booking another parking at Anza parking lot and left (scanned my QR code to exit the lot) don't recall the exact time. I have proof of my parking for the second lot I was able to park at.Business Response

On January 10, 2024, I paid $113 to Way.com for a parking reservation that was described as refundable. I had to cancel that just two days later, on January 12, when my sister was diagnosed with leukemia, and I had to cancel my entire trip (and of course the parking). At that point, Way.com told me it was not refundable but I would be issued a "credit."Ok, I thought. Not what I want but I'm sure I will need parking in the future. Not too long after, I got an email saying that way.com was shifting to a "paid" membership model. (Why would I pay anything more to a company that owed me money??)This evening, April 17, 2004, I needed to redeem that parking for an upcoming trip and my account shows that I have $0 credit. This company is a total fraud.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because Way should not be permitted to operate in this manner. Way is selling parking spaces they do not control. Specifically, Way states in its response Way is a third-party online marketplace that do not own or operate any of the parking facilities listed on our website physically.This information is not disclosed on its app nor website.
Think of the analogy - I go to the grocery store and buy milk for my family, take it home and use it. The farmer shows up at my house and says pay me for the milk - grocery didnt own it. I have to pay farmer because grocer then confirms they didnt own the milk they sold me, but says its all good, we gave you back your money. This is absurd and Way should not be able to operate in this manner.

This is an incredible business model: (1) advertise yourselves as a parking lot solution, (2) take my $$ for parking upon which I then rely, anticipating that if I pay $$ there will be a parking space, (3) get to the parking lot, only to find that its a scam, (4) allow the customer to fend for themselves with the operator/owner of the parking lot, (5) point to your terms & conditions of sale and say "you agreed to pay me $$ and I don't need to do anything to deliver on my part to fulfill that bargain, since I don't own the parking space nor have any relationship with the owner/operator of the parking lot" . . . . "but I was happy to take your $$ upfront".Shame on you - quite the shell game.
