I was here for less than an hour and their rate is $3. It's clearly marked. On a busy weekday at lunchtime, there was little street parking to be had so I was here. It's a tight parking lot with low clearance. Getting my rented full size Chevy Impala around and into a parking space was not easy. read more

I asked the woman in the booth for a restaurant's location. She said she was new to town. She called out to her coworker who was in the office in the building. She was very responsive and friendly and gave perfect directions. They were both wonderful. read more

CONFIRMED: These people are running an illegal racket! I was visiting from out of town to do a charity show. There was no street parking so I figured $14 for a few hours was worth it. I asked how I could get from the garage to the place where I was performing, and the woman at the booth told me to park on the far corner closest to the elevator. I did as she suggested. Immediately next to the elevator there is a handicapped spot. It wasn't available anyway, as there was a large car parked there. But the ground was CLEARLY marked with a big yellow painted wheelchair on the ground, and there was a handicapped spot mounted above that spot. To the right of that, there is another spot about half the size of a normal parking spot. Above it, there is also a handicapped sign, and a sign that reads "Van Accessible" Well I don't know what that means, but the ground there is painted with yellow diagonal stripes, so it's obvious that it's not a parking spot. I assumed that "van accessible" means that that yellow striiped area is to be kept clear. I parked to the right of those spots. Where I parked, there is NO handicapped logo painted on the ground, and there is no handicapped sign mounted over that parking spot. Yet -- you guessed it -- after my show, I came back to my car and there was a white envelope on my windshield with a hastily written ticket on it. Interestingly, it wasn't written on a regular ticket, but a sorta pre-printed envelope, and a hand written $100 fee hastily scribbled on it. At the bottom of the envelope, it states "Must Be Paid Within 72 Hours" Why??? Why 72 hours? What's so special about this parking ticket that is has to be paid faster than any other parking ticket? Because they're counting on you panicking and thinking you don't have enough time to fight the ticket. When I called the parking structure to argue that I think there has been a mistake, they just told me to tear up the ticket. Really??? Well I asked "But it's been more than 72 hours -- can you check and see if they did anything with this ticket? Did they send it to collections? Did this get recorded as a strike against my vehicle registration?" Nope. A week after I received the ticket, and still that had not been done. My friends, this is a bogus parking ticket. But hey! Charge the people a $100 fine. A lot of people will be smart enough not to pay it, but to call them and argue the ticket. However, a LOT of people will panic and think there's nothing they can do, and they'll just pay it to get it over with. Listen, guys -- if you wanna go into business getting money for nothing and scamming people -- go work for a bank. But if you WANT to open a parking structure where you charge people for the right to park there -- then just let them park, and charge whatever you wanna charge. If you're hard up for money, then raise your damn rates. But DON'T attempt to scam people out of their money because that's shady, and you'll have to go to bed each night knowing you're a dishonest person trying to scam good people out of their money. Lord knows the people of Charlottesville have been through enough without ALSO having this dishonest parking structure trying to rip them off. IF YOU GET A PARKING TICKET FROM THIS PLACE AND YOU DISAGREE, OR YOU THINK YOU'VE BEEN TICKETED IN ERROR: Contact City Hall and bring this mistake to the city's attention. Call or e-mail Rick Siebert, the City's top parking official, at (434) 970-3030 or siebertr@charlottesville.org. read more

Very rude. I was just contacted by them via phone. I had received a dashboard ticket and had sent in a check for the balance of the time I had parked in their lot beyond what I had initially paid for. Due to unrelated issues at Bank of America, they were unable to clear my check which was the reason for their call. The woman who contacted me was very, very rude. She told me that there was going to be a $50 fee in addition to the original amount and that "what I had done was illegal". Oh, they are also going to tow my vehicle should I ever park in their lots on both the corner and the downtown mall again. read more

These people are complete assholes. I entered the garage for TWELVE minutes to help my friend get into her car (she was locked out). They made me pay $5 to get into the garage, but the fee is $3 for 5-60 minutes. When I left the garage I asked for my two dollars back, mostly on principle because I believe that it's ridiculous that they wouldn't let me duck in and out to help my friend, who they could see clearly from the booth. The man in the booth told me he couldn't do it, so I asked to speak to his boss. When I spoke with his boss the man told me I clearly couldn't read because it said on the sign that it was $3. So I told him THATS WHY I WANTED MY $2 BACK. Then he told me again that clearly I couldn't read, and called me a bitch, and flipped me the bird. Completely unacceptable. I will never park here again, and I will advise any others who will listen to do the same. read more

These people are horrific. The creepy old man standing outside the ticket booth tried to scam me into paying $20 when I had been in the garage for only 5 minutes (literally only came in and turned around to leave). He wasn't even the person operating the register, I don't know what he was doing there but I refused to give him $20 at which point he said, "Okay, its actually $3," and I was scared to hand over my credit card to them because who knows what was going to happen. Do not park here. read more

These people are the worst. I understand they have terrible times working with people and have a challenging time but that gives them no excuse to be rude. The owner hung up on me to watch a sports game and the parking attendant refused to tell me his name. If they can't handle the pressure they should find a new job read more

I've found this parking company to be friendly and attentive. Their customer service has been good and the rates fair.

I'm never one to write reviews, but I've had enough bad encounters with one particular person working the garage on Wertland Street, that it's brought me here. I often park over night in this garage, and leave in the morning around 7:30 AM on weekdays. Most of the mornings, an older gentleman wearing large round glasses is working in the office / booth. Each time I go to leave, he is in the office, so I wait at the booth for him to come out and raise the gate. In the past, I have had to put the car in park, walk over to the office, and knock on the door for him to come raise the gate - despite him noticing me through the window while waiting in my car. He comes out fussing at me each time, saying that I'm ruining his morning. (Sorry, I have to get my car out of the garage, and it's your job to assist in this by raising the gate). Today was different - he comes out mad as usual, and says he is going to charge me extra if I keep doing this, and then proceeds to yell profanity as I leave the garage. read more
