  I booked a parking reservation on 2/23 for my upcoming trip 3/4-3/9 for $132.99 . Way.com charged my card and gave me a confirmation/reservation number. The day of my trip my my husband, my 1 year old daughter and I arrived at ***************, the attendant told me the lot was full and that is was first come first serve and that it did not matter that I had a reservation through Way.com. I then had to run around Queens ** with my daughter at 5am trying to find parking so we did not miss our flight. We were able to park at the airport and just barley made our flight. Upon our return the cost for long term parking without a reservation was $420. I requested a refund from Way.com and expected them to then pay for our parking at the airport since it was their fault we had to park their. After speaking to their live agent via chat they told me they could only refund what I paid to them, and when I called they said the same thing that they would not be reimbursing me for the $420. The representative also stated that they do not contact the place where the reservation was made and the lot must have been full at the time we arrived even though when I made the reservations I put the time we would be there.

  Hi *******,

   

  We are extremely sorry for the experience you had at our partner's parking facility. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We have escalated this issue with our internal management team for investigation as we were not informed by the lot about this issue prior to your booking. Please understand that Way.com is a third party online market place and we do not own or operate any of the facilities listed in our website physically. We understand your frustration and we will definitely take actions to make sure that such incidents won't happen again in the future. Lot issues sometimes occur as a result of unexpected flight cancellations also and the lot may not be able to accommodate new vehicles as the existing ones couldn't be taken out. However, we appreciate if you can share us with a copy of the receipt of your parking you had at the airport so that we can support your issue by showing it as an evidence to the lot. This will help us to make it as a record to avoid such incidents from the lot's end. We apologize again for the inconvenience caused and we look forward to your response at the earliest. Thanks for your understanding and patience.

  I am rejecting this response because: I will not be using your services again as I will not risk having same issue again resulting in me paying 3 times the amount I was promised. Your representative via online chat also advised you were a third party company and do not communicate with the parking facilities. I will be sure to tell family and friends of my experience and  advise them to go elsewhere.

  Way.com refused to honor a price match guarantee. I was approved for it (in writing) and then told I would need to make a new booking, which was confusing since I had made a reservation just before reaching out for the price match. I did, but the price had then magically jumped up (no longer matched). I still had my old reservation but made a new one anyway as instructed and sent the new confirmation (as I had been instructed). Receipt of it was the new reservation # was confirmed, and I was told to reach out after the reservation was underway (under the impression that it was all good as nothing to the contrary was shared). With that in mind, I canceled my original/first reservation , since (again) they told me in order to get the price match I had to make that second one, and they accepted that second confirmation number in the price match procedure. When my reservation was underway, I reached out for the credit for the price match (that was what I was instructed to do), with no response. I emailed again. No response. I called and I was told it was escalated and then sat on the phone for 45m waiting for a supervisor who told me they wouldn't honor it because I made that second reservation and I should have kept the first! Both reservations were exactly the same and the second only made at their advice so I'm not sure why it now didn't qualify, or why it was confirmed when I sent the confirmation. It's confusing and not fair to customers. It felt like a bait and switch in that they ask you to give them a heads up of price match/competition, then change their rates to be 2 cents lower so you don't quality when you make a new reservation, and worse off, don't tell you that immediately, but make you think it's all good, only to tell you weeks later (after your reservation has started and you no longer can cancel and book elsewhere) that they won't in fact honor it. Really bad business.

  Hi *******,

   

  We are sorry to hear about your experience while doing a price match with us. We have investigated upon this issue and listened to the whole conversations you had with our agents which was recorded on our line. We have also seen the email conversations you had with our agents and we see that the first email was sent to us on January 25th and it clearly explains the reservation number and price details to be matched with the price you have got from another website which was $86.95. We have sent you a detailed email with our terms and conditions to get the price match approved. Again, you have sent us another email with the two screenshots of the prices in our website as well as the other website as we advised for approval on the January 26th. Then on the January 27th, our agent replied back to you that your request for a price match has been approved. Then you have replied back to that email with a different confirmation number which was ***26363521 on the February 15th. As our agent was totally unaware about your new reservation she didn't notice the *** number which was in grey and blurred but we accept that as a mistake from our agent's side. She replied back to you on the same day advising to complete the reservation as per our price match policy to get the credits as promised for the reservation "***26348103". The initial call was made to us on the 22nd February for cancellation of your reservation ***26348103 and our agent reconfirmed the dates and time of your reservation to make sure that she is cancelling the right one as you already had two reservations at that time. As per your conversation, you were claiming that somebody from our team informed you to make a new reservation instead of the approved one for the price match which is  ***26348103. We couldn't see any other telephonic or email conversation that advises you from our end to make a new reservation. Your new reservation which was ***26363521 was booked for an amount of $85.99 which was not meeting the price match of your screenshot from the other website that shows the price as $86.95 as it is less than the reservation you have seen from the other website. So the logic is very simple that we cannot do a price match for a reservation that has provided a lesser amount than the amount to be matched. Like any other companies we also do have account for every dollar that we give and receive so the policies  cannot be compromised like a give away for a customer's mistake and then blaming us for that and we don't believe that's the best customer service because no company could survive that way. You have made a price match request which has met our criteria and we approved it but unfortunately, you cancelled it for no reason and made a new one with a lesser price that cannot be matched with the price that you have provided. One of our supervisor's tried to explain to you the same thing for almost an hour but you were not understanding that nothing wrong was done by our end. If you have any proof to show us that any of our agents asked you to make a new reservation as you claim, then we will reconsider your issue for approval. Hope this will give you a clear picture of what happened and we are ready to submit any proofs or call records upon request. We have also attached screenshots of your initial email and also the second reservation number sent to us which was not clear. We don't want to loose any of our good customers for a mistake from our end and we always strive to deliver the best service and retain our customers. Unfortunately, this case is something which we are not to get blamed and we cannot amend our price match policy to resolve a single customer's confusion. Thanks for your time and understanding.

  Booked airport parking in January 2023 but my trip plan changed. they advised full refund for the parking but in fact they only issue the in-app waybuck point. Then I used the waybuck to get the car wash, but the car wash store wont accept the ** code and the staff and owner said they never heard of way.com and did not work with them. Sent an email to way's support on Feb 10, 2023, all they reply is they are checking with car wash team. but as of today March 4, 2023 they still havnt issue refund to me. what a scam.

  Hi ******,

   

  We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and delay in resolving this issue for you. We were awaiting to get in hold of the car wash facility to verify the issue and were unable to get in touch with them even after multiple tries. However, we have confirmed the issue with them last Friday and have initiated the reversal of Waybucks refund back on your card. It will be reflected in **** business days. We are so sorry again for the hassle you had with this issue. We look forward to work with you without any issues in the future.

  I booked parking using way.com for my trip flying out of ************** on Thursday, Feb 23 and arriving back on Sunday, Feb 26. I used the address on the way parking app and upon arriving at the lot I showed the attendant my way confirmation code. The attendant wrote the confirmation down and alerted me that I was good to go. When I arrived on Sunday to pick up my car the attendant alerted me that I had to pay, I reminded her that I had pre-paid my way reservation. The attendant said no my way reservation was not honored and that yes her address was the one listed on the way app, but it was another parking lot near by and not her. She said this mix up happens often. The attendant told me that I had to contact another phone number to inquire about a refund as it was not her responsibility.Thus I paid parking twice. I contacted way to rectify the situation and they denied me any refund or credit. Essentially blaming me for the mishap. I would like a refund from the provider (way.com) and I would like it to be noted that it was a shady practice.

  Hi *********,

   

  We are sorry to hear about your experience while using our services. We have reached out the parking facility to confirm the issue and Ms **** from the lot told us that the address we have provided is the correct one. However, the nearby lot usually charges the customers once they return after the trip if they end up there by mistake. Ms **** confirmed to initiate a refund for you since you didn't use their parking. But we see that the charges has been disputed and unfortunately, when a transaction is been disputed we won't have access to your funds as it is kept on hold by your bank. A little information about disputed charges, it will take ***** days to get a decision from the bank based on the evidence submitted from both parties.If you wish to resolve the issue at the earliest without waiting for the normal bank's processing time, please let us know so that we can guide you through the next steps. We apologize again for the delay and inconvenience caused to you but we are trying to help you with best possible terms. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

  We were recently supposed to go on an 8 day vacation from JFK. We purchased parking through Way.com, paying a deposit. Our flight was rescheduled 4 times. We called Way and they assured us we will have our parking. When we called the garage the night before the flight took off 5 days later they told us they do not have room and that we should contact Way. Way washed their hand from this telling us it is not their problem. They were extremely rude to us on the phone and refused to help us find another parking. We called on a number of occasion, some of which we were placed on a very long hold (over an hour) when finally we noted that we wish to be called back no one ever did. 33 dollars is not a lot of money but this is not right. They should have helped us. Instead we had to find another parking and ended up paying 140 in taxi rides. Way.com should at the very least reimburse us the deposit,

  Hi ******,

   

  We are sorry to hear about your experience while using our services. We have investigated upon your issue, listened to our call recordings and we could find only one call which was made to us on the 16th which was supposed to be your check-in date as per your reservation with us. In your conversation with our agent, you have requested to change the date and time of the reservation and he informed you that unfortunately, it is not possible as per our current system. But he advised that you may use the same reservation for the next day which was on the 17th and that should be accepted by the lot. We always look into our customers issues seriously and try to help them in best possible ways. So we searched our call history for any other calls made from your number  ********** but we couldn't find any rude calls as you mentioned or any other calls other than the one made on the 16th. Since your flight has been rescheduled 4 times, and we couldn't find any other calls made to us that shows you have reached out to us to seek help or to inform us the same, we cannot be held responsible for this issue. Also, as a third party online market place we do not own or operate any of the facilities listed in our website physically. We are liable to pay to the lot for each spot allocated to us and if in case it is found to be unused they have all the rights to resell it to another customer or charge us for that space as they owns the facility. If you need anymore assistance with this issue, please reach out to our customer success team at *************** and they will be happy to help you. Please send us any screenshots of the calls you have made to us with the time/date. We will review it and get back to you. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  I have made three calls to your customer service. On the 16th when I called I was assured by the agent that my spot will be saved. When I called again after flight was cancelled yet again I was assured I will have my spot. The third time I called was on the night prior to departure, the night of 2/19th after speaking with the facility. The facility said they do not have space for our car. When I said we already paid a deposit they said that WAY.com is supposed to help us find an alternate option. When asking for help finding another space I was met with a dismissive rude service agent.

  I just want that money back to help offset the high cost of last minute arrangements, which is what I tried to avoid to begin with

  I left my car over the weekend of February 2-6th at the Hampton Inn in ******, ** at ********************************************. When I arrived the lady at the front desk could not find my car keys, after about 30 minutes she found them with the wrong ticket on them and the wrong car state license plate written on them. I opened my back door to put my luggage in and the door hinge and hydraulic was broken. I told the lady at the front desk that my car was damaged and I couldnt shut the door and she gave me a phone number to call and an email address to report a complaint. I took my car to ****** and they said it was about $2,000 worth of damage and was obviously vandalized, pointing out missing parts and scratches on the paint. It took me calling several more times to get one response from the email and the manager, ***, never called me back. The police officer told me I was the third report of vandalism from that location that weekend. My car was also backed into a space that was next to a tree, one of the only backed in cars in that row. It seemed like they were hoping I would drive away without noticing the damage. I talked to the police officer over a week later and he told me he talked to ***, who had still not responded to me, and his policy was that once I leave their property, they are not responsible for any damage. I paid $99 to leave my car at a place I trusted because they clearly advertised 24/7 security and camera surveillance. When I talked to the lady at the desk and the hotel manager, the only cameras on property point to the entrances of the hotel and where transactions take place, not the parking lot or cars. This is false advertising and the management and company have been less than helpful, clearly avoiding me and the incident. I would like my money back from that reservation and for the community to know not to trust this location or its staff members.

  Way.com charged me $167 for hotel parking that I never used and canceled within the hour of booking after findnig out it was much cheaper to just park at the airport as I was running late for my flight, then has the audacity to dispute and argue with both myself and *********** mastercard over the validity of their policy.The customer support team does not answer the phone line after ringing for more than 5 minutes but offers email to foreign ***** based support ("Magalakshmi S" in dispute management and "Anoop" in support) only cares about keeping your money from rightfully returning back to you with semantics on their so-called cancelation policty. I prepaid for 10 day of parking and never once set foot in "their' subcontracting parking lot, which is really just an out of the way hotel parking lot offsite from the airport. I admit its a slick business model, but Way.com operates with deceptive business practices. There are over 400 complaints with the Better Business Bureau and 145 in the month of January alone. I am not the only one being defrauded here and action should be taken to give customers their money back without ridiculous policies if the service is not used. Their prices are also deceptive showing $8 per day then they end up charging me $167 ridiculous. They should lose their merchant account for this level of fraud and deception. I will not let this go.Shimelesse Mekbeb

  Hi **********,

   

  We are really sorry to hear about the experience you had with us. Please understand that we are only a third party online market place and we do not own or operate any of the facilities listed in our website physically. The rates listed in our website usually says that it starts "from" that particular rate and is subject to change as per the availability of the lot on certain days. The rate changes are decided by the concerned lots and we are also liable to pay them for each spot allocated to us as per the contract we have with them. Due to this reason, we are not authorized to initiate any refunds after the check-in time as per our cancellation policy which is already listed on our website and we need valid proofs to support your claim to get an approval for refund from the particular lot. When we checked our call history, we found that the call was made at 7:10 PM which was after your check-in time at 6:00 PM. We have attached the screenshot for your reference. We understand the concern was due to the flight departure but please understand that the lot will charge us for the spot if not used by the customer due to any personal reason as they consider it as a no show. Also, we see that the charges has been disputed. A little information about disputed transactions, we do not have access to your funds until the bank rules in favor to any of the parties based on the evidence submitted which takes ***** days. If you wish to work with us to resolve this issue at the earliest without waiting for the bank's decision, the dispute should be dropped and we need valid evidence to support your claim. However, we will try our best to help you out as we consider all our customers as valuable and look into their issues seriously. Please share us the alternate receipt of the airport parking that you have used with the dates and time. We will review it and get back to you with best possible terms to resolve this issue. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

  Again, this is ridiculous the hoops one has to jump through to prove that I parked my car onsite at the airport. Way.com and their staff is simply stalling, buying time, and doing their best to mitigate not rightfully refunding my money. They seem to have the notion they will steal customer funds by attrition. Not today, not with my money. The fact remains I called twice and canceled within an hour of calling because I had a flight to catch. I never set foot on "their" offsite hotel parking lot. And worse case scenario (to be totally fair to them) they could have simply charged me for 1 day and refunded the difference even if I did not use their time or space. They themselves admit that I called and canceled almost immediately, so why are they trying to keep my money with semantic word games? Why are they wasting your time, my time, BBBs time? Why do they have 400+ complaints on BBB right now saying the same exact thing?? How are they even allowed to keep their merchant processing account with ******** This is not going away, as their business model is predicated on shady underhanded tactics, terms, and policies, and they have a whole department to mitigating their thievery who will not even give me or you a valid callback number to reach them back. Its 2023 and you're in business, don't try to call me anonymously after you've got all of my information please thanks. This complaint is still open and my money is still missing, if and when resolved I will withdraw my complaint.

  
  
  Sincerely,

  Hi **********,

   

  We have reviewed your complaint and found many things contrary to what originally happened. Please keep in mind that we have proofs in our record for the calls that was received and gone from our system including the full conversation. We have already submitted the evidence to your bank and also sent you an email asking you for any valid documents or to wait for the bank's decision. The screenshot of the email conversation is also attached with this response. We still have no idea for what reason you have claimed to be contacted us for a cancellation before your check-in time. As per our cancellation policy, we have clearly stated in our terms that "no cancellations will be approved after the check-in time". We have reached out to you to see if you are eligible for a refund by checking the genuine factors behind the claim because we are paying the lot for the space and we should definitely quote a valid reason to get an approval for a refund after the check-in time. It is not like refunding straight away if the customer couldn't use the lot and he reaches out to us some time after check-in, it does not work with our policy which you have agreed upon the check out time of making the payment for this reservation. We have also informed you that as this transaction has been disputed we don't have access to your funds at the moment. But you can submit valid proof, if you are ready to lift the dispute and wish to work with us to initiate the process more quickly instead of waiting the bank's ***** days of reviewing period. Our contact number has been provided multiple times during the call as well it was mentioned in the email sent to you. We have attached the screenshot of that as well and providing it again which is ************. If you don't wish to work with us for a refund, you may please wait for your bank's decision and we are happy to take that no matter what. Hope this will clarify our position in this matter. Thanks for your understanding.

  I booked an order for long-term parking with Way.com on Nov. 5, 2022. I paid Way.com $305.28 to park at ****************************. When I arrived at the parking lot on Nov. 14, 2022, the lot attendant told me that there was a problem with their shuttle and that I needed to go to their "other lot". He gave me the address and told me that it was another lot affiliated with them, and that they'd honor my booking there. The lot he sent me to was JFK longterm parking. At that point, I was running behind for my flight and I figured maybe they had a deal with *** to use their lot. After my trip, I had to pay $623.50 to JFK to leave the lot, and was told that they had no affiliation at all with ****************************. I contacted Way.com and got no help at all. They refused to issue me a refund, and disputed my credit card chargeback. Now the order shows up as "canceled" on my Way.com account, even though I did not cancel it. I suspect someone marked it this way because their policy states that they don't issue refunds for canceled orders. I also wrote a review about my experience with the lot on Way.com which was never posted.

  Hi *********,

   

  We are extremely sorry for the experience you had with our partner's parking facility. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We have escalated this issue to our internal management team for investigation to make sure that such incidents won't happen again in the future. Please note that we do not own or operate any of the facilities listed in our website physically and we are liable to pay to the lot for each spot allocated to us as per the contract we have with them. We see that you have disputed this transaction, so we don't have any access to your funds at this moment as it is kept on hold by your bank. Once a transaction is disputed, it takes ***** days to get a decision from the bank to know for which party they have ruled in favor. Please coordinate with our dispute department to guide you through the next steps to process a refund if you wish to work with us to resolve it at the earliest. We would also request you to submit a receipt that shows the amount you have paid to the other lot which they have forwarded you to support your claim. We apologize again for any inconvenience this issue may have caused to you. Thanks for your patience and cooperation.

  I am rejecting this response because: my credit card company already ruled in Way.com's favor after they argued against my dispute.

Kindly provide us the alternate receipt of the *********** have utilized as a proof to support your claim. We will review it and get back to you.

  I purchased a reservation with Way, and canceled the reservation within 28mins of booking because my flight had been canceled. I spoke with a Way representative who confirmed my cancellation and told me I would receive a full refund. Fast forward 3 months later and I still havent received a refund. I have tried contacting this company multiple times regarding the matter and no one wants to help. This company is completely unprofessional and stole $100 from me!

  I am rejecting this response because: I have sent your dispute department the requested documentation proving I cancelled my reservation on 11/29/2022 BEFORE the scheduled check-in time. I have contacted your company several times since that original call to follow-up on my refund. I have been promised call-backs and resolutions, none of which I have received. I would like a refund for the services I paid for and did not received. 
  
  Sincerely,
