Parking Machines Faulty / *******

First of all, it doesn't surprise me one bit that Cresta do no respond to complaints on the Hello Peter forum - they do not even respond to comments made on their own Facebook page, let alone emails sent to [Email Removed]<br> <br> I was at the centre on 16 December 2015, which is a public holiday. According to the parking machines, the first 30 minutes on a public holiday are free, thereafter a flat rate of R10 applies. My parking ticket time stamps indicated that I had been parked for 24 minutes, yet I was still was charged R10. <br> <br> It is not about the money, it is the false, misleading signage that irks me (as well as the non-response to email correspondence).<br> <br> Fortunately I do not usually shop at Cresta but if I am ever in the area again, I will think 3 times before setting foot there again. <br>

Hello Colleen123,

As per our previous email response, the parking ticket attached on your email query reflected Car Park 3, entry 11 which is a covered parking area that leads to Checkers entrance accessible through Beyers Naude Dr & Weltevreden Road. On Wednesday 16, Dec you were charged the weekend/ public holiday flat rate of R10 applicable for all covered parking for the whole day.

The current tariffs were designed with consideration of a free period as well as flat rates for weekends and weekdays, a summary is below: 0 - 1hr, free in the open parking areas during the week only. 30 minutes, free in the open parking areas on weekends and public holidays. Weekday evenings flat rate -from 6pm onwards, R8 in the uncovered areas and R10 in the covered areas.
Weekend & public holiday flat rate, R8 in the uncovered areas and R10 in the covered areas.

Our parking tariffs were also attached on the email response for ease of reference.

Please feel free to contact us directly should you require further assistance.

Regards,
Cresta Shopping Centre
