New cashless parking service launched in Oxford » Local government » 24dash.com

It's all change for 10 of Oxford’s car parks with the introduction of cashless payments for parking.

RingGo, the new system, replaces the pay by phone service that has been on trial for the last 12 months. Oxford drivers should call 01865 898 900 to pay for their stay. Cash payment will still be possible at all car parks.

The new system brings the city centre into line with First Great Western railway stations at Oxford, and Didcot. Drivers no longer need to register with two different payment services when parking locally.

Leaflets will be given to regular pay by phone users to explain the changes. New signs and posters are in place at all car park. Further information is also available on Oxford City Council’s website. 

Drivers who used the old system should register with RingGo using 01865 898 900 to make sure they continue to pay for parking by phone. 

Andrew Bradfield-Barnes, Oxford City Council’s Parking Manager, said: “Introducing RingGo is good news for local motorists who park using their phone in Oxford.

“Calls to the new service are cheaper and the same system is now offered in more than 40 car parks in the county. 

“We would ask drivers to read notices and leaflets carefully to make sure the changeover is as smooth as possible, and that they start to see the benefits quickly.”
