My pet peeve is estimated time parking. It's outright criminal that multi million dollar outfits are allowed to scam people with there charge practices. 

December 24th I parked in Horseshoe Bay at the Impark parking lot. I needed 28 hours of parking. However, the pre-pay meters only go buy the hour up to 24 hours then switch to full days. I needed 28 hours of parking but had to buy 2 full days of parking. that's out right criminal. Impark can sell that spot over and over again for time already paid. I thought double dipping is illegal? 

I had the same experience at the Port Moody hospital with estimated time payments. Going to the emergency is stressful enough yet it adds to the stress level to know exactly how much time you need for parking. Impark covers the whole lower mainland but I am sure there are other companies with the same practice. The government should outlaw this kind of charging. At the Vancouver airport charging is calculated when exiting the parking lot. That should be everywhere. I am 81 years old and on a fixed income. I can't afford to feed these huge companies with extra money.
