Parking with RingGo – ways to pay
There are several ways to use RingGo:
- By smartphone app
- By calling the phone service
- By text message or
- Through the internet (either via a mobile or pc)
- (For businesses) by using the RingGo Corporate solution
Details of each are provided below.
Smartphone app
iPhone and Android users can download a RingGo smartphone application (free of charge), through their handset or from the relevant store. The app lets you register for the service, locates your nearest RingGo zone, allows you to manage your account, obtain free parking sessions of less than 30 minutes, and pay to park directly through the app
- IPhones handsets - Apple iTunes store
- Android handsets - Google play
Automated phone service
To use the automated phone service, you simply call the phone number on the signs when you want to park. RingGo will remember you (by recognising your mobile phone number) and ask you to:
- Confirm the vehicle you want to park
- Confirm the location where you want to park
- Say how long you want to stay, and
- Provide the security code from your credit card
Text to park
You can use the quick and easy RingGo “text to park” option instead. So for instance, sending a message with ‘RingGo 17876 2h 867’ to 81025 will park your nominated vehicle for up to 2 hours in Church Street, Warwick.
For details on how to set up the service for your particular location please see the myRingGo website – www.myRingGo.co.uk/texttopark.
Internet options
If you have a phone with mobile internet access, you can use the myRingGo site to book your parking. Simply login at www.myRingGo.co.uk/park and complete the details. Alternatively you can use the same link from a standard pc or other internet connected device.

RingGo Corporate
RingGo Corporate is a special version of RingGo, designed for business employees. It saves time and hassle by allowing businesses to set up a prepaid account, which nominated employees can use to pay for their parking when on business. There’s no need for employees to know company credit card details or pay and claim. They also get alerted when their parking is about to run out, reducing the risk of receiving a parking charge notice.
From the business point of view, organisations receive an HMRC approved consolidated parking invoice which itemises VAT that can be claimed back, together with management reports that help better control parking costs. For more information about the solution please see https://corporate.myringgo.com/
Can I get a VAT receipt?

If you provide us with your e-mail address, you can opt to receive a receipt automatically every time you park. Just login and add your email address into the settings menu.
