Man hit with nearly $20K charge parking for 27 minutes at Denver’s airport

Imagine parking at Denver International Airport for about a half an hour, expecting to pay $7 but instead getting hit with a bill for about $20,000. That nightmare became a reality for someone recently.

Jim Boyd dropped his wife off at the airport on Thursday (Oct. 2) and ended up spending a grand total of 27 minutes parked in the garage. That should’ve been a charge of $7. Instead, after he paid the fee with his card and left the garage, his phone notifications started going off. It was his bank notifying him that Denver parking had charged him $19,824.

Boyd then looked at his receipt and saw that it said he’d been parking there since June 6^th… resulting in a charge of 169K minutes-worth of parking.

Fortunately, the airport and the parking provided acknowledged the error and quickly rectified the situation.

I personally think they should give the guy free parking for life for the stress this must’ve caused!
