Many clients call it "helping you find a parking space". The starting price is three hours, 38 yuan.
Many citizens who drive to the hospital for treatment or visit have encountered the trilogy of "queuing, turning around and posting tickets". Recently, the reporter found that a group of drivers holding the "parking service" brand appeared quietly around some 3A hospitals in Beijing. The reporter found that parking difficulties have spawned a variety of valet parking services, and a large number of APP clients have come to users.
Found that parking service charges 38 yuan for three hours.
Last Wednesday, Mr. Yan took his children to Beijing Children’s Hospital. As a result, his wife and children entered the outpatient building for almost an hour, and Mr. Yan has not found a parking space. When Mr. Yan was overwhelmed, a young man holding a sign came to introduce his company’s "parking service" business to Mr. Yan. As long as he paid attention to the company’s WeChat WeChat official account, he could place an order online. The parking agent wore a uniform with the company’s Logo printed on it. After verifying the identity of the parking agent, Mr. Yan gave the car key to the other party and received a hand card, and the vehicle was immediately driven away.
After more than ten minutes, Mr. Yan saw a photo of his car parked in the parking space from WeChat. If you want to pick up the car, click the pick-up button 15 minutes in advance. Then take the car with the hand card you got before, pay the money in one hand and turn the key in the other. This time, Mr Yan stopped for 2 hours and 50 minutes, which cost 38 yuan.
The reporter learned that parking on behalf of this client starts every three hours, charging 38 yuan, and charging 10 yuan every hour beyond the time limit. The customer service staff told the reporter that the company has rented many underground parking spaces and ground open-air parking spaces for a long time within two kilometers near the hospital. "They are all regular parking spaces, so you can rest assured." At present, there are five hospitals in Beijing with parking service business, including Peking University Third Hospital, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Beijing Children’s Hospital, Capital Institute of Pediatrics and Beijing Fuwai Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Hospital.
Question: Is it safe to give the car keys to others?
In addition to parking service, which charges such fees, the reporter learned that due to the shortage of parking spaces in the central city, some service industries such as restaurants and hair salons facing the street are taking free parking service as an upgraded service to attract customers. But giving the car to others, if the things in the car are lost, the guest’s car is driven out privately, and even the car is damaged and lost, these are all problems that the owner needs to face.
Parking service, who charges at the entrance of the hospital, has been questioned the most, because the owner of the car has completely given it to a stranger. What should I do if someone pretends to be a parking attendant to cheat the owner of the car, or the parking attendant sends a parking photo and then drives away?
The reporter called the customer service phone number of parking service Company, and the customer service staff also said that the owner must provide the vehicle with valid annual inspection and insurance, at least with compulsory insurance, car damage insurance and three kinds of insurance. If the vehicle is not insured with these three kinds of auto insurance, the parking agent will not be liable for the loss caused to the owner in the process of parking. In addition, when the vehicle is delivered, the owner needs to verify the information of the parking agent, including the work certificate and identity, and the owner can also call customer service to help verify the identity of the parking agent. The company will ask the parking attendant not to drive the owner’s car out without permission. In addition, the company will not be responsible for any accident or vehicle loss during the period if the owner does not make a private reservation for the parking agent through official channels.
The problem is that it is not helpful to find a parking space by APP at present.
In addition, the reporter found that many O2O projects in the smart parking industry are also in fierce competition, and a large number of smart parking apps are coming to users. These parking apps all claim that as long as the client is in hand, parking is no longer awkward. In addition to helping car owners find vacant parking spaces, they can also provide car owners with related services such as parking lot navigation, parking space reservation, non-stop entry and exit, and reverse car search.
However, the reporter downloaded several clients and found that most of them are only limited to the integrated release of parking lot data resources, and can only provide basic services such as parking lot navigation, location inquiry and price inquiry, which can not provide substantial help for car owners. For example, I saw an empty parking space in a parking lot five minutes ago, but when I drove past, I found that this seat had just been preempted by others. (Reporter Chen Lin)
