I booked Parkingmycar and paid online in Sicily town Trapani in Port, but later realised without installing mobile application I couldn’t do anything, for some reason I couldn’t install app as I am foreign tourist, no other form of communication, no detail address or phone number provided, at end I couldn’t find the parking, lost €40, finally found random parking for €8 for 8 hours. My recommendation to people do not follow online scam such as Parkingmycar, go straight to port and find any available parking spots there, it’s plenty of choices.

Dear Alex,
We are genuinely disappointed by how easily negative ratings are given and defamatory terms such as "scam" are used, unfairly damaging the reputation of a company and the services it provides.
First of all, we would like to clarify that our app is available in all European Union countries. Furthermore, using the app is not mandatory in order to use your booking.
The confirmation e-mail includes a "Voucher in formato PDF" ("PDF Voucher") option, which allows you to download your booking voucher without installing the app. The voucher contains all the information you need, including the parking address, map, contact details and access instructions.
Our app is simply designed to make the parking experience easier by keeping all your booking details conveniently in one place. After all, spending a couple of minutes downloading an app is often far preferable to spending an unknown amount of time searching for an available parking space with no guarantee of finding one.
We also regret that you chose to publish such a severe review without first contacting our Customer Care team.
Our support service is available 7 days a week via WhatsApp, website chat, email, Facebook, Instagram and our telephone support.
Had you contacted us, we would have been happy to provide all the information needed to help you reach your reserved parking space.
We always welcome criticism when it is based on objective facts. However, describing our service as a "scam" is not a matter of opinion: it is a serious and unfounded allegation that misrepresents the reality of the service we provide.
