Premium Parking – P148

Sucks that so many people are having a problem with Premium Parking. We never had any problems. If the distance isn’t a problem, go to Lot P156a on St. Charles instead. It’s cheaper ($ 10 for 8 hours of parking vs. $ 15 here). Just remember that you need to punch in your license plate number when you buy your ticket, so make a note of that before you walk over or you’ll be doubling back.

STAY AWAY FROM THESE LOTS!
At 12:30PM I purchased a parking spot that was good until 9:30PM. At 4:48pm, my car was booted for «not having a ticket» which I clearly showed the parking lot employee that I had a ticket sitting on my dashboard. At 5:17pm he forced me to pay $ 31.50 to take the boot off of my car, even though he clearly saw that the ticket was NOT expired and was in my car, in plain view.
I understand that the employee was just «doing his job» but when he saw that he made a mistake, he should have taken the boot off at no charge. I have contacted Premium Parking twice since the incident to try to get an explanation of their shady practices but no one will respond to me.
As a New Orleans local who pays to park often, I will NEVER use Premium Parking Lots again, even if it means walking further to my location. I would recommend others doing the same.
This may be just the employee or the company in general, but it was obviously a scam to get me to pay an additional $ 31.50 when I had already paid to park and had my receipt in plain view of anyone who passed my vehicle.
It is truly unprofessional for a business to receive a complaint, and a follow-​up complaint and still not even respond. I have asked them to refund my $ 31.50 and sent photos proving the ticket was not expired.
Park wisely so you are not scammed like I was.

Rip Off City. Based on my recent experience, I have to say this garage is completely deceptive in its pricing. They have teaser parking rates, but then when you go to pay, they claim that you are subject to event parking. The event parking signs are out of the way and not obvious. It seems that everything is an event, including the fact that the sun rose in the East in this morning.
We got caught in this trap, and we witnessed two others who got tripped up as well.
The manager was useless, claiming they are not trying to be deceptive. My advise: avoid this business entirely (including other locations).
