Drivers can now pay for parking with their mobile phones using debit or credit cards.
 

The innovative new system will be launched in most of the Dover District Council car parks this week.

Drivers will need to register with RingGo and will then be able to ring a local number (01304 892895) to pay for parking over the phone.

First time users will need to give details of their vehicle, where they are parked, how long they want to park for, and their full card details. The next time you call, RingGo remembers the mobile number and will ask you to confirm your vehicle details and your location, and how long you want to park for, and will ask for your card security code.

You can register on-line at www.MyRingGo.co.uk  or during your first call. Using the service costs a flat-rate of 20p in addition to the normal parking fee.

Cllr Nigel Collor, Cabinet Member for Access and Property Management, said: “We are very pleased to be launching this new scheme, which is the first of its kind in Kent. The scheme offers visitors and residents a quicker and more convenient way to pay for parking in Council car parks, without having to hunt around for loose change, and allows people to extend their stay with a simple phone call, without going back to the car park.”
