Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers are really happy with this company. Many people found the booking process straightforward and the payment system easy to use, with simple clicks to open barriers. Customers appreciate the flexibility offered, especially for longer bookings, and the ability to leave and re-enter the car park multiple times. The location of the parking spots is often highlighted as convenient, particularly for events. However, some customers also noted significant issues with the service and payment. A number of people reported arriving at pre-booked spaces only to find no availability, or that the car park was closed. There were also complaints about the payment system, with some receiving fines despite having paid, and others struggling to get receipts or refunds. Several reviewers expressed dissatisfaction with the customer support, citing unresponsiveness via email, phone, and WhatsApp, and a lack of accountability when problems arose.

Avoid this company as not worth the risk

Despite paying online I've been sent a non payment penalty notice. After seeing some negative reviews online I thought I had done all I could to avoid issues but alas not. Problem is if anything slightly goes wrong it’s impossible to contact anyone to resolve an issue.

Terrible Experience – Faulty System & Rude Customer Service

I booked parking with ParkBee via YourParkingSpace for my vehicle, but the app failed to lift the barriers, leaving me stuck. When I contacted customer service, they were incredibly rude and dismissive, offering no real help. This was especially distressing as I urgently needed to leave London early due to my child being admitted to hospital. Instead of resolving the issue, they made an already stressful situation worse. Absolutely unacceptable service—avoid at all costs!

First time using ParkBee

First time using ParkBee. I was a bit dubious tbh, after reading the reviews. I contacted them through WhatsApp and they were very helpful and helped me through the process. My experience was all positive. Paid online, then received a link to get us to the car park, which was great. Then we received a link to book in when we arrived and out when we left. Great experience, very easy. Thanks ParkBee, will definitely use again 👍🏽

QR code offering the only means of payment was not working. There were, of course no members of staff on the premises. I am now facing the prospect of a £60 "fine" or pursuing an appeal. There are many words that spring to mind to describe this lot but I would probably end up in court for libel. In short, a disgrace.

Crowd smoking weed

This time everything was fine with automated gates and web app. Issue was a crowd smoking weed seated inside the parking at 7pm giving a sense of insecurity.

The app navigated me to a wrong parking garage and they didn't accept the mistake

I recently used the ParkBee app for the first time, reserved a parking spot, and paid in advance. Upon opening the app and clicking the “navigate” button, I was directed to the wrong parking garage. Both Google Maps and Apple Maps provided the same incorrect location.

Believing I was at the correct garage, I attempted to open the gate via the app, but it did not work. Realizing I was at the wrong location, I found myself unable to legally exit due to the one-way entrance road. With my wife and two children in the car, and pressed for time to attend a movie, I had no choice but to park there.

Upon returning home and reviewing the addresses, I discovered the correct garage location manually.

I initially contacted customer support via WhatsApp but did not receive the assistance needed. After thoroughly reviewing the situation, I believe the navigation error was not on my part, and I kindly request a refund for the parking fee.

I proved the bug on the app but they didn't refund. What a shame

Outrageous overcharging

Didn’t properly explain the payment process in the car park. My £3.20 parking cost £17.80. Avoid or be really careful.

Edit: I paid £3.20 on the way out, all seemed well. Then the next day I got a demand from Parkbee of £17.80 and in the end they took £18.20. There was no reason for that, I'd paid on the way out. As my parking charge seemed to be going up by the minute I paid up. There was no option to get support on the website, no number to call. I have an email address now and offer of support, I'll see if I get any actual support.

Do not use! App issues resulted in fine

Decided to use parkbee in liverpool for the first time. Entered my reg and pre-paid in advance. Had an issue with my car the day prior to parking so asked a colleague to drive us. There is an option on the app to change the registration which I did more than 24 hours in advance. The app accepted the change so assumed all good. After parking (which was complex due to adjacent roads to site being blocked off) my colleague has received a fine. We are challenging this as parkbee say the reg change was not registered on the app even though we have sent the confirmation and screen shots as evidence. It is clear we paid, parked within the parameters we entered into contract for. Parkbee have offered to reduce the fine to £20 as this is the cost they state was incurred in admin costs to chase the original fine that they have said we do not need to pay.

Edit - ParkBee - you have responded to my review asking me to get in touch. Assume this is automated Bot as it does not seem to pick up key words as my review states we have already been in contact. Seems the customer service is as useful as the app!

Woeful of a company

Woeful of a company, sending threatening letter and court orders to my fathers address saying he never paid even though he has sent evidence that he has paid, screenshot of bank statements and numerous calls to the customer service team who are not interested. This has been such a stressful time on my father who already suffers with heart disease this needs to be sorted we have now seeked legal advice and took it to our local MP.

Booked and paid for space which wasn't there

Booked an evening spot at Brixton, and arrived to find no spaces and nobody there to assist (and all he cars are double/triple parked, so even if there had been a 'space' would have been impossible to get in and out quickly and easily). As I'd already paid, to arrive and find no parking was unacceptable - never again.

Hi Rachael, thank you for the review. I’m very sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how frustrating it must have been to arrive and find no available parking spots.

Please note that our support team is available 24/7 by phone and would have been happy to assist you in resolving this situation immediately. Unfortunately, we cannot control or prevent vehicles being double-parked by others, but rest assured that such violations are monitored, and offenders risk fines for improper parking.

Since you were unable to use your booking, we’re happy to assist you with a refund. Please email us through support@parkbee.com with your booking details, and we will process it as soon as possible.

Our apologies again for the inconvenience caused, and thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Very good application but unreliable service

Parked at the Westminster - Abbey Orchard Street. When I arrived there was no available parking spot on the designated areas. After panicking and circling a couple entered and luckily removed their car.
Overall it seems it's a lottery to actually park on the already paid spot.
The application and communication was very good and the price paid reasonable.

Liverpool central village

Seems to be a common theme here with Liverpool central village!

Received a letter from a debt collection company today with £170 charge for parking that was clearly paid for.

I have evidence of this on my bank statement.

I’ve received no emails or correspondence from park bee only this letter from the collections company who I’m currently trying to contact. No doubt this has already hit my credit file.

Parked here multiple times over the years before it was a park bee and never had any issues.

I’d recommend finding another car park on a point of principle even if it’s a short walk from your destination as I can promise you will have no issues with any of the other car parks in the city centre.
