Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 189 reviews, reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers are really happy with the user experience, finding the registration process simple and the system convenient, eliminating the need for manual payments or worrying about overstaying. Many appreciate the ease of driving in and out without needing to queue at machines or remember their registration number, with automatic charges and email updates on payments being a significant plus. However, some people were dissatisfied with the payment process, reporting issues like unexpected charges despite having annual permits or being double-charged. There were also instances of payments not being taken or difficulties in disputing fines, particularly when using rental cars. Some customers also mentioned concerns about the lack of real-time confirmation upon entering car parks and the absence of a clear list of Hozah-enabled locations.

I’m not seeing an invoice on my account for use of a car park. Emailed and awaiting response and very concerned having read reviews that this company is a potential scam and takes penalty payments etc which are not valid. I’d like to pay for the one off parking I used the company for and close account which is proving difficult

My first experience using hozah control parking space

My first experience parking at a location managed by Hozah Parking Control was positive. Despite hearing numerous accounts of overcharging, the process was smooth and hassle free, with automatic payment deducted easily.

I set up and registered my vehicle and…

I set up and registered my vehicle and card on the app for Festival Place in Basingstoke and assumed everything was ok. I visited the car park on 25th November and again today 8th December, assuming system was working. I got home today and found I had a fine for the 25th November… ! There is no way to speak to anyone at Hozah and no apparent way to pay if you leave and discover app has not taken the charge, so I assume I will get another fine. This feels like a scam and would advise anyone NOT to rely on the app if at all possible. I have messaged Hozah but I don’t have much hope…!

Still no sign of a refund

Still not offered a refund despite numerous requests. They took money out of my account even though I contacted them twice in advance to cancel a permit. To be fair, they replied to an email after a few weeks...but no offer of a refund. No response to the question I asked either.

Ignoring Emails

I was charged too much for my parking while I was a guest at a hotel. I have emailled Hozah multiple times via different emails to request a partial refund. They have ignored all of my emails, despite sending evidence and proof of all receipts.

I put the wrong car details in and have been trying to contact them its been over a week and have not had a response. I prefer having a ticket to pay instead of automated systems.
I have emailed 4 times and nothing. Why do they not have a phone number to contact them which also frustrates me

I visited the Festival Place car park in Basingstoke in the morning for 30 mins, I paid and exited. My wife visited late afternoon for an hour. She was charged for the whole day. I've chased repeatedly for acknowledgement of the error, and once acknowledged I've had to chase for the refund, which after a month has still not been resolved.

Annual permit bought - parking fees taken taken

I’m still awaiting a response from this totally useless company. I’ve sent four messages through their ‘support’ portal - all I get is an automated reply and no action. Despite buying an annual parking permit they are taking parking fees from my card and sending emails saying I’ll be fined if they can’t debit my card

All good so far

All good so far. Got email when we arrived after registration of the car for the first time. Checked the app after leaving and was showing on invoice within 10 mins, so was pleased with experience so far.

Car park was fine

Car park was fine, I pulled up, signed up and put my motorbikes details in, stayed for just over 2 hours and left, no payment has been taken, I raised a ticket 10 days after visiting as it says payment can take 10 days, no response apart from a notification saying more information was needed. Went to the ticket in question and nothing had been added. I responded with what further info is needed and a few days later still no response so now I have the stress of wondering if I am going to get a parking invoice that I am going to have to waste my time in appealing.

EDIT.
After responding to my review here the following day I have changed my review from 2 stars to 4 stars. Sorry state of affairs when a review is answered quicker than a support ticket.

Hi Michael, thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback, and I’m really sorry for the worry this caused.

Just to reassure you: motorbikes are not subject to parking charges at this site, so you won’t receive a parking invoice. You’re completely in the clear.

If you ever need anything else, please feel free to reach out at https://support.hozah.com/hc/en-gb. Rest assured, there’s no action needed on your side, and no charges will be issued.

It’s so easy

It’s so easy - log your bank details against car registration and the rest takes care if itself - drive into the car park - reg is picked up automatically and your account is charged according to car park tariff

Fined despite evidence of payment

Paid for a parking ticket at Livingston Outlet mall, carefully read all the (abundant) signage to make sure I had the right information. Evidence of payment through banking transaction to Hozah Parking. Got fined £100 anyway; unable to dispute as car was a rental. Quick search online shows I am not the only one fined at this particular car park, despite having paid.

I have been in contact with customer service and no reply as of yet. I parked in the Marlowes shopping centre on Saturday paid for my parking which I have evidence of. I went back to town today ( Tuesday 18th November) and my car is still registered as being in the car park since Saturday and is showing my bill as £41 I can not unregister the car so my bill will just be going up and up!! Please can someone reply to me with immediate effect to sort this. Thank you

Dreadful Company

I put comments on Trustpilot for this company. They replied and said if I gave them details they would sort the matter and be in touch. That was about 3 weeks now. I gave them all the details they requested and I am still waiting for a response from them ! Just a joke. Nobody ever gets in touch you just get a response saying they have received the email..... They are not interested in reimbursing people.
