We were travelling back to JFK to fly home, after a quick visit to Philadelphia and were following the hire car's Sat Nav. When we got to the toll kiosk on the PA turnpike we explained to the lady that there wasn't anywhere to get a ticket when we came on the road and weren't even aware until we reached the kiosks that we were on a toll road.

The woman asked for my partner's driving licence and rang someone saying she had someone from England without a ticket and what was she to do? Another woman came over who was unbelievably aggressive and said we had to pay $39.90 for not having a ticket. We asked how were were supposed to get a ticket if there was no machine but that question wasn't answered, the 2nd woman just kept shouting that we would have to pay that price because we didn't have a ticket before walking off. The 1st lady in the kiosk was apologetic and gave us a claim form - we're not expecting anything to come of it but will try for a refund but the turnpike is set up to extort money - that teamed with a parking ticket in the city centre for 'disobeying a sign' - the parking officer told us it was because we were parked past a post - no mention of that on the sign and we were parked during the right time means we received a $76 parking violation fee, $48 on top to pay for parking overnight in Philadelphia (after paying over $300 for the hotel room) and then $39.90 at the turnpike!!

Will we be returning to Philadelphia?? Not a chance!!!

Reason of review: Problems with payment.

Location: Nottingham, Nottingham

Yeah all of your mistakes were because of someone else. There are signs about parking all over the city.

Most major metropolitan cities charge for overnight parking. There were signs indicating Easy Pass only but you missed them because you followed your GPS blindly. The GPS does not know whether you have an easy pass or not.

There are many hotels around the city for less than $300.00 per night. Continue to blame everyone else you'll get far.
