Waardeloos

We hebben bumber aan bumper met een andere auto de parkeergarage moeten verlaten omdat de poort niet open ging en support eerst volledig onbereikbaar was en toen we ze eindelijk bereikt hadden toen ook niks kon doen en erg slecht luisterde.

More notifications or live activity is needed

In order to use the application especially for street parking, more notifications options and live activity is needed. Without it, we always forget turning off the parking session. could you please prioritize this?

No internet = no service

I used the app to park at the Blackfriars parking garage in Edinburgh. Reservation worked fine. When I arrived at the gate I had no internet service, due to low coverage of the area or due to heavy congestion of the cellular network or just because mobile internet in the UK is just bad. Without service I couldn’t activate the gate from the app. So I had to wait for someone else to leave the garage before I could enter. On departure the same situation: no internet, no app. While the gate opened automatically I was not able to end the parking session. And this has to be done manually from the app. No warning from the app, no direct connection from the garage to the app. I would have expected the garage’s camera system interacts with the app to know when I arrive and when I leave.
So, I paid triple the price for the stay that wasn’t even as long as I originally booked. Thanks for nothing!

Avoid This App - Biggest Scam

I’ve never experienced such poor service from a parking app. There’s no notification or warning when your booked parking time is about to expire, making it incredibly easy to go over your reservation without realizing it.

Instead of helping customers avoid unnecessary charges, the app simply lets the time go on and you end up paying the price. It feels like the system is designed to generate extra revenue rather than provide a good user experience.

A simple reminder notification would solve this problem, yet it’s missing. I won’t be using this app again and cannot recommend it.

Literal trash!!!!

Stressful

I wasn’t able to open the qrs code at the car park and the machine didn’t appear to be working so tried to pay on app. Would not accept my times so I have paid for 4h from leaving car park not the time I was in there. I have never been so worried about getting a fine in the current financial climate. The whole process was poor stressful and no number to contact is not helpful

Breda

Ik gebruik de app regelmatic om toegang te krijgen tot parkeerplaatsen op priveterrein (Smederijstraat Breda). Het openen van de stalen poort verloopt betrouwbaar.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for your review. We’re happy to hear that everything worked smoothly this time and that you were able to open the gate without any issues in Breda. We really appreciate you giving it another try and are glad we could provide a positive experience! - Team ParkBee

Simple and easy parking

Car park I use is clean and tidy

Hi Carl, Thank you for your great review! We’re happy to hear that you find the app easy to use and that your parking location is clean and well maintained. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again soon! - Team ParkBee

Stressful Parking

Terrible concept. Online support just give generic straightforward answers, charge ridiculous amounts for parking and offer zero instant support. This is why a ticket system is the best. No fuss and no stress. Going backwards as a society.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We understand your frustration regarding the support and parking costs. We'd like to look into your experience in more detail, so please contact us at support@parkbee.com with your booking details and we'll be happy to assist you. - Team ParkBee

Car Clamped! AVOID !!

After paying for parking my car was clamped, it was eventually removed at no cost but was hassle time wasted.

Response from developer

Dear customer, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear your vehicle was clamped despite having paid for parking. We understand how frustrating and inconvenient that must have been, even though the clamp was eventually removed at no cost. Please contact us at support@parkbee.com with your booking details so we can investigate what happened. - Team ParkBee

Finger weg

Nie wieder Park Bee. Kamen nachts nach Delft zurück um halb 2 und konnten nicht auf den Parkplatz fahren. Dann darf man sich per App mit einem Chat-Bot ärgern und es führt zu nichts. Die Buchung ging bis 11:30 vormittags. Angeblich gäbe es keine aktive Buchung. 10 Minuten standen wir vor der geschlossenen Schranke. Wir mussten dann ins Parkhaus und dort natürlich zusätzlich zum bereits bezahlten Park Bee Parkplatz bezahlen. Unseriöse Firma. Lasst die Finger davon und parkt woanders.

Hi Dennis, Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Es tut uns leid zu hören, dass Sie nachts in Delft nicht auf den Parkplatz zugreifen konnten und dadurch zusätzliche Kosten entstanden sind. Wir verstehen, wie frustrierend und stressig diese Situation gewesen sein muss. Das entspricht nicht dem Service, den wir bieten möchten. Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns unter support@parkbee.com mit Ihren Buchungsdaten, damit wir den Vorfall untersuchen und uns Ihren Fall genauer ansehen können. - Team ParkBee

Very stressful parking

I bought the parking online then the app took ages to download, when buying the parking it wasn’t obvious you would need to download an app to access your paid parking.
Once at the carpark you have to go into your app to allow you into the carpark. I kept pressing start parking so that the parking would start and allow me in but nothing was happening. In the end because there was a queue behind me I had to press for a ticket. I end up spending about 14€ for 2h15m.
I would not recommend this app!

Please contact us at support@parkbee.com with your booking details, and our team will be happy to investigate further. Sincerely, Team ParkBee

Very bad experience

Very poor experience and extremely stressful.

I booked and paid for parking through ParkBee, and my vehicle arrived during the valid booking period. I later stayed longer, and ParkBee also took an additional payment from my account for the extra time. So the parking was paid for.

Despite this, I received a £100 Parking Charge Notice from the enforcement company claiming there was no valid parking session/electronic permit.

When I first contacted support, I was told to deal with the PCN company myself, even though the booking and payments were made through ParkBee. Only later did ParkBee say they would “request a review” and “see if it can be revoked,” which gives me no confidence at all.

This is unacceptable because I only have a short time left before the charge increases / becomes payable in full. I should not be left at risk of paying £100 for parking that I already paid for, including the additional time.

ParkBee need to take responsibility and get this cancelled urgently, not just say they will try. I relied on their service, paid them, and followed the advice given. Now I am the one being chased for a penalty.

I would not recommend using ParkBee unless they can guarantee that paid bookings are properly recognised and that customers are protected from unfair PCNs.

Hi Tom, Sorry to read this. We understand how stressful this must be, especially when you’ve paid for your parking (including extra time) and still received a PCN. This is not the experience we want to provide. We take these situations seriously and do work with the enforcement party to review and resolve cases like this. We understand the urgency and agree this should be handled quickly. Please contact us at support@parkbee.com with your booking and PCN details (if you haven’t already), so we can prioritise your case and follow up. - Team ParkBee

Pointless app

I couldn’t book anything! Deleted the app strait away

Scam - do not use

Booked parking through ParkBee and then received a fine from ParkingEye claiming we didn’t have a reservation. Several letters since pressuring to pay for fine. ParkBee absolutely useless and have since claimed we didn’t use the reservation. Avoid at all costs.

Response from developer

Dear customer, Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re very sorry to hear about this situation and understand how stressful it must be. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide. To help resolve the issue, please contact us directly at support@parkbee.com with the details of your booking, the location, and any correspondence you have received. We will review your case and assist you in addressing the fine. Our apologies for the inconvenience and frustration this has caused. Sincerely, Team ParkBee

Easy

Hi Dossadoo, Great to hear, thanks for your review! We’re glad you find the app simple to use. - Team ParkBee

DO NOT USE

I have used ParkBee twice for parking and both times I have received fines from the parking lots saying I have not paid.

Response from developer

Hi Rajesh. Thank you for your review. Please contact us on support@parkbee.com to sort this situation. It should not be the case that you receive a PCN with a valid booking. -ParkBee

Absolute rubbish

Almost unusable, drains battery like crazy, phone gets hot, parking locations don’t load.

Response from developer

Hi, Thank you for your review. In our newest version, 1.7.3. the bugs about logging in are solved. Please update our app to see the improvements. The issue reported about multitasking to other apps is noted by us. We will solve this behaviour in one of our next updates. Thanks for making our app better every day! - ParkBee

Hamerkop Parkplatz

Der Parkplatz ist sehr schlecht ausgeschildert. Gibt man Hausnummer 34 ins Navigationssystem ein, wird man zu einem Parkplatz direkt nebenan geleitet. Dieser ist jedoch sehr teuer, und es gibt keinen Hinweis darauf, dass einer der Parkplätze zu ParkBee gehört. Sobald man in der App auf das Einfahrtstor klickt, sieht man nur den Ausfahrt-Button. Ich hatte den Eindruck, dass es sich um Betrug handelte, da ich zusätzlich zur bereits gebuchten Gebühr nun über 40 € extra für zwei Tage bezahlt habe. Das ist alles sehr ärgerlich.
Der Kundenservice ist miserabel, da wird keinem geholfen und der Person von der anderen Parkplatz sehr frech und unfreundlich!

Terrible - zero customer service

App doesn’t work, it doesn’t send verification codes so there is no way to sign up. I’m sat here waiting for a response from the non existent customer service - no response via whatsapp or email and no way to speak to a human. Parkbee is far from stress free. Avoid at all costs.

Response from developer
