Pay by RingGo
You can pay for your parking across Perth and Kinross using RingGo cashless parking in all on-street and Council-run car parks (excluding Bells Sports Centre, Canal Street Multi-Storey Car Park).
To use RingGo, download their app onto your Smartphone or register online at https://myringgo.co.uk/park. You need to provide details of your car registration number, the make and colour of your car, and securely add your card details. Once you have registered, you can pay for your parking through this app or by calling RingGo on 0203 046 0010.
You can use a number of Wi-Fi hotspots and 4G mobile wireless coverage to download and access the Smartphone app.
Each parking area has its own special location code. Your Smartphone should automatically pick up this area code by GPS, but if not, there are signs on all on and off street parking with the code number on it for you to take a note of.
There is a 20p convenience charge on top of your fare, an optional 10p booking confirmation SMS and 10p for a reminder text from RingGo 10 minutes before your digital ticket expires. This excess charge goes directly to RingGo and not to Perth & Kinross Council.
