Phone Parking - The RingGo Service
What is RingGo?
RingGo is a quick, easy to use mobile phone service, allowing you to pay for your parking with a credit or debit card, rather than using cash at a machine. When you park your car in a car park which features the RingGo service, you can simply dial the local rate number shown on nearby signs and pay for your parking over the phone.
A RingGo app is also available for iPhone and android users, which helps you find and pay for RingGo sessions quickly and easily direct from your phone.
With RingGo:
- You no longer need to carry change,
- You don’t have to visit a parking meter (great when it’s wet or late at night), &
- You don’t need to walk back with a parking ticket - The Civil Enforcement Officer can check which vehicles are parked with RingGo via their handheld units.
RingGo users can also top up their parking when they’re away from their vehicle, if this is permitted in the parking place. So if you get held up or delayed, simply ring the RingGo number again from your “dialled numbers”, top up remotely and avoid a fine.
In Middlesbrough, the local rate number to ring for RingGo is:
01642 919 000
As part of the Connect Tees Valley initiative RingGo is also being introduced in Council car parks in Stockton and Hartlepool. This means that once registered RingGo users can use the system to pay for parking throughout the Tees Valley area.
