We will write to you to let you know when your account is active.

How to use

To book a trader parking session, you must call 020 3046 0005 on the telephone you registered with. You will be asked to provide the following details about the trader's vehicle:

  • Colour of car

You will also be asked to select the Controlled Parking Zone you require, and the time period, which the trader's vehicle will be parked for. To complete your booking you will need your debit or credit card details.

After your first call you will be sent a text message (or voice text) providing you with an account PIN to use with your online account at www.MyRingGo.co.uk.

Booking online

You can also access your Pay As You Go account online to:

  • book parking sessions
  • update your account settings
  • add or remove phone numbers (you can register up to five numbers)

To login you will need your account PIN number. This will be sent to you by text (or voice text) the first time you call the booking line, from your registered telephone.

Forgotten PIN

If you have lost your PIN you can request a new PIN on the RingGo website.
