Private parking tickets / Holiday Inn Preston - PCN using Tesla Super Charger
« on: February 08, 2026, 10:06:44 am »
Good Morning,
I received a PCN for 100GBP, for using Tesla Super Charger at Holiday Inn Preston. This was a new car, and I was not aware that I had to register at the hotel.
I called the hotel and the staff mentioned that there are signs visible that I need to go in to register the vehicles license plate. I did not do this, infact I did not see the signs.
I do not live in the area, so I cannot check if the signage is really visible.
The staff mentioned I should e-mail stating that I did see the signs, however incorrectly entered my licesnse plate and ask if they can refund it. They did mention Parkingeye recently has been strict so it would be unlikley.
Can I get out of this / what is my best course of action?
This feels unfair as I am a paying customer for the electricity. This is a new car and only the 2nd time I've charged the car.
