The website directed me to create the app. The apps asked for my credit card information. The app automatically charged me what was in the cart, without verification, after asking for my credit card information. The day booked cannot be cancelled and the service was not used.Business Response

On 8/2/24 I parked my car near *********** and I paid $1.95. I have since been charged $1.95 every month. When reaching out to the company to get this fraud stopped there is no answer to their phone just a continuous loop computerized answering system without ever getting an answer. I want the amount of $1.95 for months September, October, November, and December refunded. This company seems to be trying to do some shady practices.

I just received my Chase **** credit card statement. I saw a charge for $211.08 for Way.com a parking agency that I was looking at for my flight from *******, ********** to **********,**********. But I did not confirm this nor did I use this agency. And now I see that they charged me 4 times for the parking that never happened. I contacted their customer service today 11/21/24 by text and phone call. I did receive a reply that says since it has been 10 days they can credit me parking times 4. I wrote back that they fraudulently charged me for goods that were never delivered. What bothers me most is that they used my credit card illegally. There was never a confirmation by me. I can try to get my credit card company to refund me. I started reading all the horrible reviews and fraud that many others have experienced with this company. If you can help me and investigate this company that would be great. Thank you,******** ***********Business Response

Way.com has been charging me a "surprise" $1.95 subscription fee since May -- Monthly - Just like other complaints on this site, it is deceptively charged and very unclear on the web site - apparently they are saying you have to "opt out" of this subscription charge - I am an intelligent person that uses many sites, and this is a sneaky way of ekeing out extra $ from customers in a very non-transparent manner. I now tried to delete my credit card information from the site, but it says because I have a subscription it won't allow me to delete the credit card information - that is personal information that they are not entitled to keep on file unless I want them to. I used this parking app 1 time and when I booked my parking space it asked me for way too much information - I was skeptical at the time of booking and now I know why I had the intuitive thought that something was "off" with this business and their web site.Business Response

Service Failure: On October 7, 2024, I booked a parking spot through Way.com for the week of October 7th. Upon arrival at the designated garage, I discovered that the facility was inoperative, rendering me unable to park as planned. Consequently, I was forced to park on the street that evening and secure alternative parking the following day.Inadequate Customer Support: I initiated communication with Way.com on October 8, 2024, to address this issue. Despite providing evidence of payment for alternative parking, Way.com's responses have been unsatisfactory. They have repeatedly requested 48-hour periods to investigate and have now stated their inability to contact the garage, thereby claiming they cannot verify the facility's malfunction.Refund Denial: Despite the clear failure to provide the contracted service and the provision of supporting documentation on my part, Way.com has refused to issue a refund. This refusal persists despite their own ********************** Policy, which states that parking passes can be canceled any time before the parking pass start time and that refunds may be offered in the form of credits in special circumstances WAY.COM Potential Deceptive Practices: The pattern of behavior exhibited by Way.com raises concerns about potential deceptive business practices. The refusal to acknowledge service failures, coupled with inadequate customer support and unjustified denial of refunds, suggests a possible scheme to defraud consumers.Business Response

I purchased a parking space at a hotel thru Way.com so I could park my vehicle while traveling out of town. When I arrived at the location, the person who answered the phone could not find my reservation. Once he did, he informed me that hed have to call someone to come pick me up as they did not have a shuttle service as described by Way.com. The cost of this ride to the airport and back would be an additional $15 each way. Because of the delay in waiting for a ride, I had to leave the location and drive directly to the airport and park so I didnt miss my flight. I asked for a refund because of the issues I experienced once I arrived at the hotel parking location. My request was denied. I was unable to use the service and would like a full refund.Business Response
Date: 11/18/2024
Hell ******,
Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your recent experience with our parking partner. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you encountered.
After reviewing your case, we understand that there was a delay in locating your reservation and that the shuttle service was not as expected. We regret any frustration this may have caused you.
However, we must inform you that your request for a refund has been denied because the parking service itself was not denied to you. Additionally, our website clearly states that there is a fee for the shuttle service, which is an additional cost to the parking fee.
We appreciate your understanding and hope to serve you better in the future. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.Initial Complaint

On August 12th, I paid for a reserved park and fly parking spot with Way.com at the then ************************************ in *******, *****. When I arrived in ******* on Thursday October 24th, Way.com was not operating a parking service in the area that I paid for. I also received no notice of this change and in fact, received a confirmation email, shortly before my departure. A full refund is in order, since no parking service and no appropriate notice was provided. It is not acceptable to take money for no services provided.Business Response

Dear ***** ******,
Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your recent experience with our parking service. We understand your concerns and appreciate the opportunity to address them.
We have reviewed our records and found that other customers successfully parked at the ******************* near *********** on the same date. Therefore, we are unable to issue a refund at this time.
However, we want to ensure that your concerns are fully addressed. If you have an alternative receipt for parking services used during your trip, please send it to us for review. We will be happy to investigate further and assist you accordingly.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.Customer Answer

Complaint: 22534618
I am rejecting this response because:Ultimately, Way.com did not provide the service that I paid for. It was Way.com's responsibility to be in communication with me if the parking lot was not in proper functioning form, as was the case. I asked multiple people at the hotel about Way.com. No one knew anything about it. Simply referring to others who parked there by searching your records does not make it okay to accept money for not providing the service (to include proper communication and customer service) to me that you were responsible for when you took my money. How I then handled my parking is not relevant to the issue at hand. This is a huge lack of integrity and shady business model. It could be a paid amount of .01 or much, much, more. The principle is the same. Taking money for nothing is stealing and ultimately, illegal when it comes to practicing business. I see this has happened before (see attachment) and apparently, this (stealing) is part of Way.com's business model. Unacceptable.
Sincerely,
***** ******Business Response

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your recent experience. We apologize for any inconvenience you may have encountered.
As stated previously, we do have a contract with the location in question, and other customers have been able to park there without any issues. The reason we ask for proof of other parking is to verify that you indeed parked elsewhere and did not use the parking reservation in question.
We understand that this may be frustrating, and we appreciate your cooperation in providing the necessary documentation. Once we receive the proof of other parking, we will be able to proceed with your request accordingly.Customer Answer
Date: 11/22/2024
I appreciate this response. Its thoughtful and has specific, valuable information about where Way.com is coming from and its intent in this process.
I made my own arrangement with the hotel on the premises. That was what was needed, since I arrived at night and did not have the opportunity to thoroughly research and find other options. There are several lots adjacent to each other in this area.
My questions for you are:
What was supposed to be there, as a presence, from Way.com? (This may help me to better understand what it is that you are offering for the amounts charged). Are you saying that you offer no sign, no attendant, no markings to indicate that you are operating in this lot or any other? And that the customer is in the right place? Towing is extra real in big cities. So how is the customer to feel assured that they are in the correct, way.com lost? That is my issue at hand. And why didnt anyone on the premises know anything about Way.com? How are these agreements with the property owner structured? What does Way.com do in order to make it clear for their customers that they are in the right place and that their parking will be handled in the manner touted by Way.com?

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. We understand how important it is to feel assured that you are in the correct parking location, especially in big cities where towing is a real concern. Way.com operates as a third-party platform that partners with various property owners to open up parking spaces for our customers. Our role is to facilitate the booking process and provide you with the necessary information to locate your reserved spot. However, it is the responsibility of our partners to ensure that their staff is properly trained to guide you to the correct parking area. We are continuously working with our partners to improve these aspects and ensure a seamless experience for our customers.Initial Complaint

I used aiportsparking website owned by way.com for offsite DFW Airport parking on 10/31/2024 in *********, ***** for approximately 6.5 days. The price advertised was $49.40, but at checkout, the price charged to my card was $62.23. I didn't notice the difference immediately because the confirmation email did not list the price charged to my card or the advertised price - just confirmation details and a link to view a receipt online. The additional cost on the website receipt listed "Taxes" as "$12.83", which is not only not based on the sales tax rate, but does not mention anything about extra "fees" or charges. The sales tax rate for Grapevine, ** is 8.25%, which when applied to the advertised rate, is $4.08, not the grosssly overcharged $12.83. Upon emailing and calling way.com, their response was that one would have to click elsewhere to find out the additional charges - clearly price deception since listing charge descriptors only as "Taxes" makes would-be takers less suspecting of over-charge. Additionally, abusive pricing practices like these make it less possible to compare pricing. Way.com appears to be riding the gouging wave of this already terrible inflationary period. Caveat Emptor.Business Response
