Tried to cancel a reservation but phone was never answered, voicemail full, no response to texts, no response to emails. Tried to cancel with both WAY and the lot of my reservation per their instructions. The website only provides partial information. The rest is provided AFTER making the reservation, and only once the app has been downloaded. Further, I have been getting spammed by WAY and there is no option to unsubscribe from their flood of solicitation emails that I never consented to.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: WAY has requested screenshot proof that I tried to contact either WAY or the lot. I have emailed those over, and attach them here as well.I include screenshot of calls and texts prior to check-in, the confirmation email that forces customers to download their app and all its cookies in order to view the reservation that I just paid for, the confirmation page within the mandated app that provides absolutely no information on how to cancel, and a screenshot of the pre-purchase page regarding refunds that made it sound like it was just so easy peasy.
WAY, please refund the $31.45, and do better by your customers.

I booked a parking stay for the airport for the week of March 4-14 the total I paid way.com was $125.48. On the day I was supposed to park in the lot the agent told me that way.com overbooked and they did not have availability. I called way directly to help me resolve the issue and spoke to ****. Instead of **** relocating me he told me to find another lot and just send in all the receipts of my stay and what I paid and I will get a refund. I had to pay $330 to this new lot which I was not prepared to pay however I had no choice. After coming back I sent in all the proof via email to way.com and assumed that they would not only refund me $204.52 which is the difference of the $152.48 and $330 but instead they only wanted to compensate me for the $152.48. I tried to speak to various managers including *****, ****, and ****** to have them understand that they should at minimum compensate me that for their overbooking and they didnt want to do that. They said they understand it was an operational issue on their end but they can only refund me the amount I paid even though **** said otherwise. I am not happy as a client and they did tell me this happens often and there is nothing they do about it.Business Response

On November 13th, I used this service to book airport parking near *** for the 20th of November, but then later read the fine print that the hotel shuttle service stopped at 10pm. My flight was coming in later. On November 14th, I canceled it following the instructions on the site. I never received conformation of the cancelation, so I canceled it a second time same day. Shortly after canceling, I used the service to book with another parking lot where the shuttle ran later into the night. I was charged for both bookings. I should not be charged for the first one, #******* *****************)Business Response

Two months ago, I utilized the Way.com app to reserve car parking, making a one-time payment for the service. I did not sign up for any subscriptions, yet I am consistently being charged $1.95 each month, which appears to be suspicious. Despite spending over an hour attempting to contact their customer service by phone, I have been unsuccessful in reaching an operator. It raises concerns about the legitimacy of Way.com.Business Response

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.

However, as per your request we have tried to cancel your subscription with a refund but unfortunately, we are unable to locate your details. Could you please help us with the email or phone number that you have used for the parking? We will get back to you with a confirmation regarding your refund once we are able to locate the details.

I just tried to use Ways this past weekend, under the name Airportsparking.com and made a reservation at an ******* parking venue near the airport. Ways *never* sent a confirmation email to me, and after charging my card $23, and never receiving the confirmation email, I reached out via contact form to them 2-3 x as the day of the flight approached. No answer. So I immediately cancelled my cc card and reversed charges, due to the fact Ways is falsely charging people with no intention of giving them what theyve paid for, and possibly skimming credit cards. I had to make a new parking reservation through a different company after checking 7-10 times in my email for their confirmation which never came, and paying for the reservation-, so frustrating. After returning from the trip, Ways magically reached out via email 3 days later after the reservation, and said they had sent a confirmation (they hadnt- I checked spam folder, inbox many, many times- nothing), and then they showed a made up or possibly photoshopped confirmation letter they said they supposedly had sent me. (It was photoshopped because the fake confirmation didnt have my email on the To: section, didnt have the last 4 digits of my cc number, had no details of my car I had filled out in their form- I told them politely I never received it. They refused to refund it. What was unbelievable was they had started to even try to reach out 3 DAYS after I sent the help request to them and the trip was done! I literally was in another parking venue lot I had to find and pay for, after returning from my trip, before they even reached out with the fake confirmation email! SCAM SCAM SCAM. Shame on you Ways for scamming people of money and not delivering! Just look at the other reviews! And they get around these reviews by coming up with new different names for themselves like airportsparking.com and doing it again and again.Business Response

Hi ***,
We are so sorry to hear about your experience while using our service. Please note that an automated email will be sent out to all our customers once a reservation is confirmed. We are not sure about what happened in your case. As a third party online marketplace, we are not authorized to refund any reservations after the check-in time without the approval of the lot. If we does, then the parking lot will charge us for that space despite of being used or unused as per the contract we have with them. However, as a valued customer, we want to make this right for you. Could you please provide us with the receipt of the alternate parking that you have used? We will reach out to the facility on your behalf for a refund and get this resolved as soon as possible. We apologize again for any inconvenience caused to you by this issue.

A parking reservation was made on 02/11/24 using airportsparking.com (a way.com website). On 02/17/24 the parking attendant attempted to extort an additional $100 in cash from me. I did not feel safe parking my vehicle at the lot, so I would like a refund.Business Response

We are sorry for the experience you had at our partnered location. Please note that Way is a third party online marketplace and we do not own or operate any of the facilities listed on our website physically. All the information listed on our website and your confirmation email was provided by the concerned parking facility.

I am rejecting this response because:You are not reading my responses and/or pretending not to understand the issue.

I did not park because I was scared of the fraudulent activity. I have already spoken to your support and management team and they pretend not to understand. Im demanding the refund because the original contract between myself and Way was not honored.

Hi *******,
We have reviewed your whole conversation with our support team and found that we have tried multiple times to convey you that the extra charges that the parking lot imposed to you was due to the size restriction of vehicles by the lot, which was communicated to you clearly through your confirmation email before your check-in time. If you were not ready for paying the extra charges, we could have cancelled this reservation for you if you have reached out to us before your check-in time with the cancellation request. Please note that once the reservation has begun, we are unable to initiate any refunds without the approval of the parking facility as per the contract we have with them despite of the reason whether it is used or unused. We have already reached out to the parking lot on your behalf regarding your refund request and they denied it which we have already communicated with you including the reason. As per your last conversation with our support team, we have requested you to reach out to the parking facility to get their approval for refund and ask them to send us an email for the same. But unfortunately, that was totally ignored from your end and your next reply was "When will I get my refund?". Please understand that we have to follow our company's terms and conditions which was accepted by you at the time of purchase. However, we have tried our best to find a resolution for you by considering it as a special case but unfortunately, it was negative from the lot's end. We apologize you for any inconvenience caused by this issue and request you to kindly reach out to the parking facility directly on ********** for requesting an approval of your refund.

I am rejecting this response because:My vehicle was not restricted due to size as you claim, so your argument is invalid. I realize your support has tried to make that claim many times, but your claim remains to be invalid. Your parking attendant had no right to demand $100 cash, and his demand for $100 cash was not due to the size of my vehicle, therefore it is a fraudulent request and you failed to fulfill the original contract. You keep talking is circle and making the same excuses over and over. The only resolution is to give me a refund for not fulfilling the contract. When will I receive my refund?
