Newly installed terminals at 19 locations in Kenilworth, Leamington Spa and Warwick will all accept card and contactless payments as well as Apple and Android Pay, which combined with the availability of the RingGo phone app has made parking securer and easier than ever.

Councillor Alan Rhead, Warwick District Council’s Portfolio Holder for Climate Change, said:

 “We are delighted to offer customers these alternatives when paying to park in our off street and multi-storey facilities. It is convenient, as people don’t need to carry cash and it also ensures the welfare of our residents, visitors, commuters and employees, because they don’t have to handle coins and notes and limits personal contact with the machines. Users can also extend their stay remotely from their phones.”

In October 2020, the Council renewed its contract with the national cashless parking provider RingGo, with the aim of encouraging car park users to pay for their parking securely and touch free from their smartphones. With the reduction of the surcharge to 10p per session, this has led to a significant rise in customers regularly using this payment method.
