AirGarage Arvostelua 

Airgarage at the Delta by Marriot in Philly was a total mess-up. Took me 20 Minutes to setup the "rental". What a waste!

First question: why do I need to provide my phone number (local US-VoIP number not working!!)? No need in any way.

Second question: why do I need to provide an email address at all??

This is just a ridicioulus scam to charge people and collect data to collect further.

My actual rate for an overnight stay at the hotel was not charged at the posted 25 USD/day, but added an additional charge of 0.49 USD as a "service fee".

Marriot, you should just get rid of this f***-up. Talked to some fellow hotel customers -> same response from everyone.

What a scam!

Exceedingly deceptive trade practices in place with this organization. Their posted overnight rate was $30. My car entered the lot at 4:45pm and exited at 9:30am the next day (16hrs. total). I was charged for 2 days at $30.39 plus a 'convenience charge' of $15.00. Upon bringing this to their attention, I was informed that the night ends at midnight and a new day begins at 12:01 the next day. In no way does this make sense when you advertise overnight parking for $30.

Parked for 30 minutes and paid up front for the 1 hour minimum @ $12 p/hr. Amex notified me of the charge from their app. Hours later, I received notification from AirGarage that we were charged the maximum daily of $40. No communication beforehand. Very deceptive practice and nobody to speak with for resolution.

After having to pay more than anyone should have to for the amount of time that I parked, there was an issue with my billing. I contacted their customer service, but of course, they do not have a phone number. Instead, they use AI to respond and masquerade as a real person. (The signature is from a real person, but everything else was generated by AI & they really try to hide that fact, so most people who aren't as familiar w/ the technology don't realize.) Of course, AI can't solve the ultimate problem, but at least they gave me all the reasons in the world to ensure I never park where I see this company's name & logo again.

This company is a complete scam. They make you end your parking, but doesn’t say that anywhere on the app. Stop stealing from people you crooks.

This company will nickel and dime you even when you follow their rules. Avoid at all costs. They are not interested in troubleshooting your issues, or engaging with you as a person. They will get you on a recurring payment without your knowledge. When I confronted them about this, they copy and pasted their dishonest business policies and basically shrugged their shoulders at me. Do no give them your money.

I am out of town visiting VA. I park at air garage. I start the meter by the web site. I come back about an hour later and a ticket is on my car. I go to the police station down the street with my receipts. They inform me it’s not a police ticket and this happens a lot. He showed me how to dispute it. Which I did, and at 9:00 in the evening it instantly said the fine is waived. Impossible for them to even read what I sent. obviously it’s a scam
they play. Give them a ticket and see if they pay it. If a guy robs you face to face he gets arrested. The same should happen here. I will never be visiting the mall in charlestown VA again.

Using this app is now required in the parking lot near my gym. It works as advertised so no complaint generally however I happened to have entered my gym's discount wrong when I set up my account so now I have to manually enter the discount code every time I use it. There is an edit function for other data fields but not the discount code field. I know this CAN work as it's working fine on my husband's phone. SO AIR GARAGE PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW TO EDIT THE SAVED DISCOUNT CODE. Thank you.

In Charlottesville, Virginia, we parked for about three hours and came back with something called parking violation on our windshield with a QR code on it and when we opened it, they said we owed them $78 if we paid in seven days and $88 if we paid over seven days I do not recall seeing any signs with this rate on it or indicating that payment had to be made in advance. It’s a real scam obviously.

This service is a scam, designed to steal from consumers. DO NOT USE THEM. They will charge you the maximum rate unless you use their app to "check out" which they don't disclose up front when you park in the first place. It's literally just way to trick people into spending money they didn't intent. A normal and functional parking app would allow you to set the amount of time you want to park for and just pay for that. Or at the very least, disclose the fact that you MUST CHECK OUT up front - but they do not do that.

I parked at DMV Fordham NY,I didn't scan the QR (because I thought it was after it was used as in other parking lots) when I scan the QR I see an alleged violation when I check $80, but not even the city, I was paying $8 which was what I had to and they didn't accept it maybe .that's why, a complete abuse, there are no signs that say "scan to park, just scan to park.,It's an abuse and first they have to put signs that say "park and scan" from 8 to 80 it's too much not even a violation per park that is 45, abuse!

The worst ever!!!
The sign was impossible to read, photo or scan. I entered my card number and thought the response was a confirmation.,,
Only to get a total BS ticket for 1 and 1/2 hours for over $60.00.
We will go to small claims court if necessary. We are seniors with handicap parking and vision issues. This is the biggest scam ever and should be shut down. There was no way to pay on site and if you don’t have a phone or credit card you can’t park there.
It is very very very difficult and unclear how one completes a payment and then they hit you with mafia style charges.
See you in court… I am beyond furious, the fine they expect payed is 1/2 of our dinner bill for a very expensive dinner.
Shame on you. Will never ever ever park in a lot managed by air garage. Total thieves.

ABSOLUTE SCAM!!!! I never pressed the agree button to pay and suddenly they charged me $25 for one hour!!!! There is no way to close your account or remove credit card and no one responds to texts, emails or calls. I feel violated and unsafe that I cannot close my account. Will NEVER use them again

We purchased for 1 hour parking at a garage in Kapiolani Blv. and left the garage in less than an hour. We were charged for $30 when it’s supposed to be $3.50. I texted and called them but nobody is getting back. It’s a scam. There was nowhere that mentioned that we had to let them know before leaving the garage.

Their signage is fraudulently vague. It is customary to pay upon leaving a parking garage. But AirGarage signs do not indicate that the payment process must be initiated via text immediately after parking your car, not upon driving out of the garage. I was shocked to find an $88 ticket on my car. When I protested the ticket they offered a 50% discount - so $44 for a 7 hour stay that should have cost no more than $12. Never again.

This lot MIGHT be safe for short-term daytime parking but do NOT leave your car there overnight. If you are trying to save on the cost of parking at one of the local hotels there are two or three covered lots in the area that will be much more secure. My truck was broken into on this lot after which I moved my truck and just ate what I paid for parking. The owners did not care and would not even offer me a refund. Choose another parking option.

Parked in an empty downtown lot 7pm 11/31 (it was dark). There were several large sign saying it was a paid lot but none of them said HOW to pay. Looked for it, but couldn't find anything so I gave up. Had dinner and came back an hour later to find a ticket on my car. For $88!!!!!! I went back the next day in the light and finally found a small sign out of the way in the corner with a number to text how to pay. It would have cost me $2.50 to be there for an hour. Instead I receive a ticket that is 3,520% the cost it would have been to park?!?!?!?

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE! I continue to get requests for payments from air garage for parking from another vehicle from out of state. This has happened six times in the last month and repeated contacts have not resolved the problem. They do not know anything about customer service and BBB gives them an F rating.

I’m a Parking Enforcer for AirGarage and I’ve been working with them now for a little over 4 months. The job is so simple. You show up to the lots, you scan license plates with your phone, and see if you have to leave a ticket or not. However, the job is not completely perfect. There are things I love about this job and things I don’t love about it. So I’ll spit the two up.

The Pros:
1. You get paid DAILY. Every 24-48 hours, there’s a payout. BUT this depends on how consistent you are.
2. You have your own flexibility and can make your own schedule. Therefore, you're pretty much your own boss.
3. There’s no clocking in or clocking out.
4. You do have some freedom.
5. You get to scan the lots 3-4 times a day, but honestly I’ve done it more than that.

The Cons:
1. Once you a complete a scan shift, you then have to wait 2 HOURS until you do it again. This is too long. So you have to find a way to kill time. They do say you can wait a half hour after another enforcer scanned, but normally that doesn’t even work.
2. You don’t know who else is coming to do the same shift you’re doing. It’s annoying, because there’s times where I’ve wanted to scan a lot, but another enforcer had already scanned everything. Or I see another enforcer already scanning as I’m scanning. So this makes my scans ineligible and it’s annoying. I really wish the system could tell us who was recently in the lot or who is currently in the lot!
3. This job alone will NOT pay your bills. Unless you have another job and this job, then you’re okay.
4. I don’t even think management is real. I say this simply because I’ve never seen them before nor do I think I ever will. They only communicate by text. Their name is supposedly “Kelly”, which the person is communicative it seems, but I’m starting to think it’s a possible bot. Therefore, it might not even be a human being at all. So this is sketchy and not helpful for customers that have questions or complaints or want to dispute a ticket. Not being able to call them at all or hear their voice is kinda a red flag in itself. That’s just really peculiar. Management is not supposed to be a mystery.
5. Once you get hired, they tell you to go scan the lots, but you don’t even have your vest nor the tickets yet, because they are mailing them to you. This doesn’t make any sense. Why on Earth would you go to a parking lot scanning people’s license plates WITHOUT a vest/uniform??? That just makes you look super suspicious to the public eye. I personally played it safe and waited until I got the vest and tickets! Although the vest alone sometimes is not helpful or enough. The vest is orange and blank. Has no logo on it or writing on it to show if you really are a parking enforcer. So some people don’t know who you are and still get confused.

Honestly, sometimes I’m quite baffled at how a job like this exist and this company is a thing. But hey, it’s getting me by at least! There’s just so much that this company need to improve on though. So that’s why I give it 3 stars….

They are there to scam people out of as much money as possible. Everything they do is meant to maximize the fines and payments they collect. My stay got stopped somehow 6 minutes after I parked (I did not stop the timer) and they then charged me the maximum fee plus a penalty, and they change the maximum fee depending on time of day and busyness of the garage. I’m sure garage operators love them because they make as much money as possible but it’s super shady. Wouldn’t be surprised if the program is meant to automatically “stop” the timer so they can do this. And then customer service plays innocent.
