Easy to use until time to pay

I had a reservation setup and added the card I wanted to charge on. App would not take it. I again added the card information and again it errored out. My only other option was to use Apple Pay. I did that and selected the same card information and it works fine using Apple Pay. I don’t know how I could have proceeded if I had not had Apple Pay. I don’t travel often but I seem to remember there was a system glitch last time. I like the location and convenience of the parking but not fully impressed with the Application. Needs more work.

Good shuttles, inconvenient Parking deck

I’ve used the parking garage 5 times at Ohare. The shuttles both ways are clean and on time. However the parking garage use is less convenient. I always park on the top deck and have to scan my way onto each deck while going up and coming down. Doesn’t make sense since the top deck is the cheapest option.

Good app but keeps old reservations

I do like the app. It allows for easy in and out of the facilities as well as helping to see where the shuttles are.

What I really don’t like is that it keeps old, expired reservations in its list for a long time and they show up first in the list. I was accidentally trying to use an old reservation today and couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t get in. I had to go back into reservations to make sure I had the right for today.

It may not seem like a big deal, but there’s literally no reason to have an expired reservation in the list and it can cause consternation when you’re already in a hurry and stressed. Fix that and it’s 5 stars.

I.T. Help needed.

I park at the Chicago O’Hare facility. For the most part, it is convenient and their staff are almost always very pleasant to deal with. When they’re not, I’m willing to give them a pass as I see what my fellow travelers are like.

The reason for the 1 Star is simple. You HAVE to get your tech to work! I prepay my parking, often a month in advance. Approx 30% of the time, I have issues entering or leaving the facility and have to get assistance. Even though I have the app, my reservation often doesn’t come up so I have to always print up my confirmation, just in case. This is not acceptable. This is all you do!

Response from developer

Hi - thank you for the feedback. We would love to know more about how you're purchasing and when you're attempting to retrieve your pass from the app. Could you email us at customer.service@preflightparking.com? If you're purchasing on the web and redeeming in the app, please open the app and go to your reservation prior to entering the garage or lot. You can also add your reservation to Apple Wallet as a back-up. Thank you!

Two stars until the app is fixed.

The App used to be great for making reservations and checking into and out of the lots. After having to update some credit card info it no longer shows existing reservations and often shows a message about a server error.

Consistent problems

I run into problems consistently when trying to book using the app. It tells me oops it looks like there’s no internet connection when I am absolutely on the web. It tells me it can’t find my information when on the home page it welcomes me by name. It tells me I don’t have a credit card on file when the only way I’ve ever paid is by the same current and valid credit card. I can understand problems but these are consistent problems. I’ve parked at the ORD location about 25 times and I have these problems at least half the time.

Only works 50% of the time

This app is great when it works. It has been very inconsistent lately. I use the lot weekly and it is very irritating when you can’t make a simple reservation and payment with the
App. This week it took my Apple Pay but never made a reservation..... so now I have to go figure out that with them instead of getting in my car and going home

Start time

App won’t let me reserve parking AGAIN! Seems to rarely work

Service is good, app is not.

I thought I signed up for an account (I entered all the info) prior to booking a parking reservation. However, once I booked, the app decided not to add a reservation to my new account but as a “guest” reservation. Then, I cannot add the parking pass to the Wallet app (error message). To top it off, I can’t cancel the reservation, another error due to the “guest” booking... coincidence? The cherry on top is a window where economy is spelled “ecomony.” The app gets 1 star but because the service overall is good, they get 2 from me.

Worry Free Travel

Always the best way to travel!! No sooner than you pull in they are at your car taking all you luggage onto shuttle! Drop you off rite in front of your airline! When returning no sooner you walk out the door they are there to take you directly back to your vehicle! Would us no other!! They are the BEST!
Thanks Again
