Woman who left car in car park for three days 'wanted to cry' after seeing how much it cost her

A content creator was left shocked after finding out how much she would have to pay after leaving her car parked for three nights in a private car park.

We've all been there when it comes to forgetting to check the rates of a car park before entering - it happens to the best of us.

However, a rarer case of this is when you forget to leave your vehicle in one of these places overnight, three times over.

But that's exactly what happened to TikTok user Ángela Mármol when a simple miscommunication cost her more than she had hoped.

The influencer, known on the social media app as @amarmolmc, left her car in there for three days and ten hours and filmed herself going to retrieve the vehicle with her boyfriend.

By the time she went to pay for her car, it had been in the car park for three days, ten hours and 45 minutes.

The Spaniard prefaced the video by explaining that it was her brother who had to look after the car, wondering how much she would have to pay for his carelessness, as her boyfriend guessed a total of €228 (£194).

Before finding out, the content creator guessed that they'd be charged €200 (£170) while admitting: "I'm going to cry".

She knew that the price would be extortionate for 'three nights', with her chuckling boyfriend suggesting that she should park on the street next time.

After putting the ticket into the machine, she realised that the cost wasn't as bad as they initially thought.

It still cost them a hefty €125.40 (£107), but it's almost half of what her boyfriend had predicted - I'd take that as a win.

Ángela said while finding out: “Don’t let this happen to you! My car has been in this private car park for three days. My brother had to look for it, but there was a communication mistake and here we are...

“I’m going to cry if it’s 200 euros,” she admitted.

“Much less. But it’s still high. 125 euros, for three nights. Three nights! So beware…”

Her boyfriend laughed, adding: “Park on the street! So painful!”

And users in the comments section seem to think that it could have been a lot worse, as some shared their own horror stories with parking tickets.

One user shared that they had to pay '757 euros for 24 hours'.

Another joked: “Depending on the car, it would be better to leave it abandoned and write it off as lost."

A third suggested a solution: “Depending on the car, it would be better to leave it abandoned and write it off as lost."

One user who that said he was a car park worker pointed out that you should read the back of the ticket to avoid this happening to you - with there being special rates for some cases.
