717 Parking Negative Reviews
HorribleSorry but from my experience horrible. Was in the Tampa area and decided to give this app a shot. No option to choose amount of time, paid for set time that would end at midnight. Couldn’t add additional time after. Wasn’t risking getting cited so went to a city parking area, a lot cheaper and for 24 hours. Tried canceling account and can’t from app. Credit card info can’t be erased. Tried contacting company by email and after a couple of weeks got a reply that they’ll be working on deleting the account. Almost a week since and account with credit card info still remains. 0 stars if possible (app is basically a middle man and has nothing to do with parking locations from my understanding).J rendonVersion: 9.8
Big Scam Company, History of Money LaunderingPayed to park and they still issue “Parking Notice” for $45. This is why I don’t do business with 717. Even if they’re the valet service at a restaurant, I would not trust these crooks in my car.
First the parking lot has “by the hour parking” posted but instantly charges you 20$ for All Day. I should have walked away at that point. But for the sake of convenience I took the chance and payed the 20$. I even put my receipt on display on the dash in clear view. The irony here, the photo they took of the “parking citation” they placed under my windshield wiper clearly shows the paid receipt. 🤦🏻♂️
So is it a scam or do they just employ idiots? You be the judge!!!
With the history they have it’s hard to believe it’s a mistake.
In perfect conclusion, the “genius” the decided to write the “parking notice” didn’t even enter the correct license plate. 🤣😂.CFMIIIVersion: 9.17.3
Terrible service, charges unprompted, no way to contact supportTried to use this app when their machines on the spot were broken. Entered my info, but never approved the final purchase of parking, as I decided to leave. Received an email informing me that I had been charged. When I followed their email instructions, I received another email that I could no longer get help that way and I had to go to their site. I did that, and you can’t log in via Safari.
Unable to contact any help. No phone. Terrible app interface. Confusing. DO NOT DOWNLOAD..GnorbVersion: 8.7.1
AnnoyingI am sick and tired of this app randomly not working. It will work fine and then randomly will not allow me to input my card information and park. Then my account was locked for absolutely no reason. I tried using my FACE and it locked me out saying “unauthorized”. How is my face unauthorized?
This has happened with this app AND their ParkMobile app
Now I have to sit at the crappy 717 pay station that barely even works and be late to work because it takes 10min for it to go through. Fix this app. Now..Malek96Version: 8.7.1
B-E-W-A-R-EAfter downloading the app and adding my info and the 4 hrs I wanted to park, I received two emails from 717 and left the car in the lot. When I returned a few hours later, I drove home yet halfway there saw something white fluttering under my windshield wiper. When I arrived home that white notice said I owed $40! After calling the # on the paper, I was told “this happens a lot.” The bill was reduced to $15, yet when I went online to pay it $5 more was added.
The $10 spot turned into $20 and a lot of wasted time and a lot of grief..S1ephVersion: 8.1
HorriblenessI consider myself a fairly advanced user of apps and I’ve never had a problem using an app before except through this one
What a rip off.
There is no way to change the time so it will try to charge you the max time. There’s no way to tell if this is a feature or if it’s just really poorly programmed.
Is there something I’m missing?
I’d like to park in a spot without paying for more time than I need.The non-entertainedVersion: 9.8
Payment information should not be required to use this app. It’s a statutory violation.When parking is free for the first hour or two, payment information should not be required to use this app.
This vendor has the capacity to ticket if parking was not paid for the duration of time the vehicle was parked.
I’ve requested in writing the Florida statute from 717 which requires payment information to receive the free parking, and I’m still awaiting that statute..DancenmarieVersion: 9.8
Changing the TimeThe 1st time I used this app it was very quick and easy. The 2nd time, while checking out it wouldn’t let me change the length of time that I’ll be parking. It was set at 10hrs and wouldn’t let me change it to 2hr. I didn’t need or want 10hrs but ended up paying for it because it wouldn’t let me change the time 🙄.Danielle2194738583836Version: 9.8
Update app!Please add an option to select the amount of time you actually want to park for. No one wants to pay for the MAX TIME when we only need 30mins. Future users please pay at the kiosk, because the app is not very intuitive. I had to pay $25 when I only needed 2hrs. 😡.ZeuaqVersion: 9.17.3
Horrible!Someone decided to block our car in. There was no way we could go forward or back. The ‘manager’ was NOT at all helpful. He seemed to be protecting the driver that blocked us in. He finally called a tow truck to move the car, but he just ended up putting the car in another spot. We didn’t even get our money refunded. Totally ridiculous..Holly5565Version: 9.8
No refundsBeware they don’t make it clear at all that if you reserve a spot and then cancel that you WILL NOT be refunded your money. I just needed to change my reservation, so I cancelled it to create a new one, when canceling it said nothing about not refunding you until I searched through the app’s faq so I lost $20 and can’t even use that money towards rebooking. Complete rip off.Darkstar616Version: 8.1
ScamApp doesn’t let you change the duration of parking and it charges for the FULL possible time of 5 or 6 hours. Greedy 717 doesn’t want to fix a simple bug. Save your money and park in the street. Same app btw from the city of tampa and it lets you adjust the time you actually need to park for..M. IsabelaVersion: 9.17.3
Ridiculous and confusing PlusYou should be able to choose the actual amount of time you’ll be parking..Puff luvVersion: 9.8
Always 12 hours?Could not change the allotted time I parked. From the other reviews, this is an issue everyone experiences. Why pay for 12 hours when I’m only in downtown for lunch with a friend for a max 2 hours. Smh. The world is greedy and it’s sad..XnahfbisbxgwnabjxnrVersion: 9.17.3
Can’t adjust timeI had to pay for 14 hours of parking when I only needed 3 which made it incredibly expensive for no reason. Can’t adjust the amount of time needed on the app or the pay station..AUpdykeVersion: 9.8
Must not show on the parking enforcement appI’ve received two tickets even though it’s been paid via the app. Not sure what the disconnect is with this app to what the parking meter person looks at but something isn’t working properly..Sideout21lbzVersion: 9.8
No way to change DurationI feel like I was robbed there was no way to change the duration so I had to pay for the whole five hours when I only knew I was going to be here maybe two. Highway robbery and they know they have you.Fflame6886_Version: 9.8
OverchargedWould it allow me to change amount of time for parking. Changed for max amount of time and unable to change..Alikin319Version: 9.8
Parking durationI only needed an hour worth of parking but wasn’t given the option to change the timeframe but instead had to pay for 8 hours....Parking 4541Version: 9.8
ChangesThe app only allows you to choose the maximum amount of time it does not allow you to choose an hour to your required to take 10 hours at a time for maximum charge.KgjfjfjxjcjcnVersion: 8.1
Pay for your public parking!This company has ruined Tampa parking by buying up every open parking lot to nickel and dime residents to park anywhere. Parking lots, garages, even street parking. Wish I could leave a lower rating..Joejoejoe221133Version: 24.3.0
Rip-offGood app but a one star for a simple reason: they automatically charge you for the entire day event if you stay for only 10 min. Modify the app and you will see more positive reviews.Led128Version: 9.8

ReviewJUST. DON’T. DO. IT. Instantly drained my battery. Wanted all my information. Wouldn’t allow the user to choose how long the parking would be (wanted to charge me for 14 hours and couldn’t be changed)..Fr84wdrVersion: 9.17.3

TOTAL RIP-OFFThis app and parking was a complete rip-off. I needed only 3 hours but the app default of full day would not change - and yes I did click on change duration- twice. Paid $25 for three hours..NodnarbmaiVersion: 8.7.1
Rip OFF Near ClearwaterThe Indiv running this platform are ripping people off. The duration provided in the app are 4,6,8 hours-why not one hour increments? Then you are directed to a non existent attendant blocks away from where you park. Ridiculous..JWilsFergVersion: 8.1
