The company is professional

The company is professional and efficient—prompt with paperwork and always ready to assist with anything like copies of statements. They proactively find new clients before leases expire, which is much appreciated. I’m very satisfied with the service.

The website was very user-friendly

The website was very user-friendly, with helpful reminders sent in the lead-up to the booking. The directions were clear, and the space reviews gave a good sense of what to expect. Ours was a driveway space, which could have been a bit tight had there been another car, but the information provided was honest and useful.

The service is quick and easy to use

The service is quick and easy to use. However, the directions to the parking space could be clearer. I also found it difficult to amend my booking after my hire car was unexpectedly changed due to a breakdown, I had no option to update the vehicle details and had to make a new booking instead.

Bad experience

I was informed by my airbnb about this app (DesParking) for parking. We stayed at The Ark, Canary Wharf London from 7th to 9th. The booking was smooth but when it came time to park, the premises shutter was down and no one to respond. The email gives you a code to enter which didn't work but the email also states that if it is closed then to park on the ramp or entrance which I did. I tried to call through the intercom for customer service but there was no response so I sent an email. I got a reply back saying that they were processing. Didn't hear back from them in those 3 days. I paid 42 pounds for the 7th to 9th. Yesterday was surprised to see, I recd 3 mails from CPM UK Car Park Management with a 100 pound charge for each day for breach of parking on private land. If I pay immediately then it's 60 pounds per day. I immediately wrote to DesParking and tried to call o the number I found on the website. No one has replied to my emails and the nber gives a constant busy tone. I suppose this is a scam and I have appealed as I have all the proof to show that I was in accordance of the rules for parking and have alos paid for the time my car was parked there.

No contact from DesParking when we weren’t able to access the car park. Phone number didn’t work.

Currently I’m assuming they are a scam company because they have yet to respond. The security at the car park said that they aren’t aware of a DesParking actually operating at the location.

Update: I sent DesParking a separate enquiry about renting out a space of my own and they responded within 2 hours. I am still waiting for them to respond to my original email on April 26th at the time of not being able to gain access. Not customer friendly.

Really easy process

Really easy process. There was a bit of confusion with the parking space owner’s permit, which wasn’t very clear, but the staff at DesParking responded quickly and were really helpful.Other than that, I just turned up, parked, went to the gig, and drove offno hassle at all.

Desparking is a complete scam

Desparking is a complete scam. They sold me a parking space that they didn’t even own. A few days after parking there, the concierge informed me that I was unlawfully parked and that the actual space owners demanded I leave. I was lucky not to receive a PCN.

After this, I immediately requested Desparking to cancel my monthly booking and refund my £150 deposit. Not only did they refuse to compensate me for the remaining days, but they also charged me for the next month—despite their own terms stating that cancellations are allowed up to 48 hours before the booking starts.

In short, avoid Desparking at all costs. They will take every pound you give them and will refuse to return anything. In addition to that you will probably get a PCN

UPD: I did leave a 5-star review initially, but my opinion quickly changed after I was told to get out of someone’s parking space otherwise I would get PCN!

Dear Vitalii Hryha,

Thank you for your feedback. We are aware of your case and appreciate all customer input. However, we would like to clarify that you initially left us a five-star review, for which we have documented evidence whilst using our services then emailed us attempting to blackmail us.

Your attempt to now leave negative feedback appears to be due to a breach of our clearly stated terms and conditions. You used our services and later requested a cancellation outside the permitted timeframe. As explicitly outlined on our platform, refunds are not available once parking has commenced.

Additionally, it is clearly stated in our terms that we do not own or manage any of the parking spaces listed on our platform. We act solely as a platform that connects parking space owners with drivers. At no point have we claimed ownership or management of any parking spaces.

We have followed the correct procedures and protocol, you can keep spreading false information as you wish.

While you are free to express your views, the facts remain unchanged. You are not eligible for a refund, and our policies are in place to ensure fairness for all users. We encourage you to review our full terms and conditions here: https://www.desparking.uk/parking-contract/ and https://www.desparking.uk/terms-conditions/

Untrustworthy crooks

Received a parking ticket despite having paid via Desparking. They replied to one email saying they would look into it. Then nothing. I am now £100 out of pocket following failure of appeal to POPLA and still no response from Desparking to multiple emails - and their website is also now down

DO NOT TRUST - £170 FINE

I prebooked with Desparking to park in Citipark’s clipstone carpark. And I have been fined £170.

For my booking Desparking sent me an email confirmation/receipt. #4861.

I complied with the booking date and times. Ten weeks later I received an aggressive letter from DCBL debt collectors saying I owe them £170 for parking without a valid ticket. They say they are acting for a company called BaySentry solutions. No-one had contacted me in advance of this letter. Check out the major issues with DCBL and BaySentry on trust pilot.

Desparking now claim it’s nothing to do with them. And refer me to their terms and conditions.

They claim they’re a platform like Airbnb. Not only is this ridiculous attempt to exonerate responsibility but Desparking never provided details of their so called parking space “host”. So I’ve no idea whom I allegedly contracted with if it wasn’t Desparking. And Airbnb would go out of business overnight if they operated like this ie if the ‘hosts’ started fining the ‘guests’ x17 times the amount Airbnb charged for their stay and threatened them with legal action.

There is no point in this Desparking ‘platform’ if the ticket you receive is deemed not valid. I can only assume someone is committing fraud somewhere here.

I booked in advance. I have confirmation of payment and parking terms. Desparking told me initially that they would resolve the fine as an urgent priority. But now say it’s nothing to do with them. How is that even possible?

I have received a fine and a threat of legal action as a result of wrongly trusting Desparking.

Check the one star trust pilot reviews for Desparking. I wish I had. Desparking claims it’s a proud member of the British Parking Association. If that Association is of any standing then Desparking is degrading it.

All these companies (Desparking, Citipark, DCBL, BaySentry) are abusing the honest consumer and they act shamefully compared to other service industries. Yet they are given the ultimate privilege of access to customer personal information and are clearly exploiting this position.

Desparking can resolve this immediately by sending me the £170 payment for the fine which I will have to pay to avoid a CCJ and resolving the issue with their “host” whom they contracted with.

UPDATE: SEE DESPARKING REPLY - THEY ADMIT:

1. They’ll issue you with a permit to park “thank you for shopping with us”
2. The permit they issue can be deemed not valid.
3. You can be fined for having no permit to park. What they issue is worthless. I got a £170 fine.
4. Desparking say it’s nothing to do with them. That I need to sort out the “dispute” but they understand my frustration.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand your frustration and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.

DesParking operates as a platform that connects users with parking space hosts, as clearly stated in our terms and conditions, which you agreed to upon using our services. While we facilitate the booking process, we are not directly responsible for any disputes or issues that may arise between the hosts and drivers. This includes fines or penalties imposed by third parties, such as parking enforcement companies.

Regarding your specific case, we can confirm that the amount you paid to our platform was refunded. We have evidence of this transaction, which we are happy to provide to any relevant party if required. This action aligns with our established policies and practices.

While we strive to support our customers wherever possible, it is ultimately the drivers responsibility to ensure compliance with local parking regulations. Similarly, any enforcement actions taken by third parties, such as BaySentry Solutions or DCBL, are beyond our control.

We understand this situation has caused you distress, and we are sorry to hear of your experience.

Thank you for your understanding, and we wish you all the best.

False parking access info

Paid for a parking space but was provided with incorrect information to access the parking bay. Recommend avoiding and using a more reputable brand like JustPark.

I used this parking service in the Fresh Wharf area of IG11. Was told where to park by this company and still received a PCN stating that they were a third party provider with no connection to who it needed to be. Very disappointed won’t be using them again

Thank you for your review.

It appears there may be a misunderstanding. We do not have any parking spaces located at Fresh Wharf, IG11, nor have we had any contact with you or anyone named “Kelly Hulston.” I would recommend double-checking the company you made payment to and spoke with, as we have received similar complaints where individuals have mistaken us for another organisation.

Please be assured that we have no links to the Fresh Wharf area, and it would be advisable to confirm the correct provider in this matter.

Please feel free to contact us on our email support@desparking.uk to clarify this matter.
