Does RingGo charge a subscription fee?

No. RingGo is pay-as-you-go: you're charged the council's parking tariff plus a small convenience fee (typically 20p–40p) per session, and optional SMS reminder fees if you've opted in. There is no monthly or annual membership charge for personal users. If you see recurring charges you didn't authorise, contact customer services immediately and your bank to dispute them.

How do I get a refund from RingGo?

Email **customer.services@myringgo.com** with your session ID, vehicle registration, date/time and the reason (wrong VRM, duplicate payment, council machine outage, etc.). For UK card payments, you may also be protected by **chargeback** rules or, on credit-card payments over £100, **Section 75** of the Consumer Credit Act. Permit refunds are decided by the issuing council, not RingGo.

Will deleting the RingGo app cancel my account?

No. Deleting the app just removes it from your phone — your account, stored payment card, vehicle details and SMS preferences remain on RingGo's servers. To fully cancel, request account deletion via the website or by emailing customer.services@myringgo.com. Under UK/EU GDPR you can also ask for all personal data to be erased.

How do I cancel a RingGo parking session I started by mistake?

You can't always cancel a session once it's begun, but you *can* change the vehicle registration shortly after starting if you typed it wrong — this is built into the app. For full refunds of mistaken sessions, contact customer services within a few days with the session ID and proof (e.g. you weren't at that location). Outcomes vary by council and operator.

How do I cancel RingGo SMS reminders?

Log into the myRingGo app or website, go to **Account > Notifications/Reminders**, and switch SMS reminders off. Each reminder usually costs around 10p, so disabling them stops those charges immediately. You can keep using the parking service without reminders — just be sure to set your own timer to avoid a Penalty Charge Notice.

Can I get a refund for a parking fine if I paid via RingGo?

RingGo can't cancel or refund a Penalty Charge Notice — those are issued by the council or private operator, and appeals go to them directly. However, if RingGo's system failed (payment didn't register, app outage), request a screenshot/proof of payment from customer.services@myringgo.com and submit it as evidence in your appeal within the council's deadline (usually 14–28 days).

How do I remove my card details from RingGo?

Log in at myringgo.com or in the app, go to **Account > Payment Methods**, and delete the saved card. If the only option is to replace it, add a dummy card or close the account entirely. To be thorough, email customer.services@myringgo.com requesting deletion of stored payment data under UK/EU GDPR — they must respond within 30 days.

How do I cancel a RingGo permit?

Resident, visitor and business permits sold through RingGo are issued by your local council — RingGo just hosts the platform. To cancel or get a pro-rata refund, contact the council's parking team directly, not RingGo. Some councils allow online cancellation through the RingGo permit portal; others require a written request. Refund rules vary by authority.

What if RingGo ignores my cancellation request?

Send a follow-up email to customer.services@myringgo.com referencing your original date and quoting **UK GDPR Article 17 (right to erasure)** if you're in the UK/EU. If there's still no response after 30 days, escalate to the **ICO** (ico.org.uk) for data complaints, or to your bank to block future charges. RingGo is part of EasyPark Group, registered company 3151938.

Hi RingGo team,

I'm writing to request the immediate cancellation of my subscription tied to this account, effective today.

Under applicable consumer-protection law (UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, EU Directive 2011/83/EU, or the FTC's Click-to-Cancel rule depending on your jurisdiction), I'm entitled to terminate this continuous service contract through the same channel it was formed in — please confirm by reply that no further charges will be made.

If your policy permits, I'd also appreciate a pro-rata refund for any unused portion of the current billing period.

Best,
[your name]

Wait for confirmation
Wait 24 hours. If there's no response, send a polite one-line follow-up referencing the original request.

RingGo plans you can cancel

RingGo Corporate (Business)
Business accounts are managed under a separate corporate agreement; contact RingGo Corporate to terminate.
Resident/Visitor Permits
Permit refunds and cancellations are governed by the issuing council, not RingGo directly.

What doesn’t work for cancelling RingGo

Based on 3 sources — Reddit, app reviews, and direct testing. Skip these and save yourself the loop.

✕ Cancelling a 'subscription' in App Store / Google Play — RingGo isn't a subscription app — there's nothing recurring to cancel in your app store. Deleting the app alone doesn't close the account or remove your stored card.
✕ Blocking the card to stop charges — Future parking sessions you start will fail, but it doesn't remove your account or stop reminder SMS fees you may have already opted into.
✕ Disputing a council parking fine via RingGo — RingGo only operates the payment platform. Penalty Charge Notices must be appealed directly with the council that issued them.

How RingGo will try to keep you

RingGo may respond with a retention offer — a discount, a free month, or a downgrade to a cheaper tier. Don't engage with the counteroffer. Restate that you want a full cancellation and cite the consumer law again if they push back.

They’ll say: “Offer to remove SMS reminder fees instead of closing account”
You say: Thanks, but please close the account entirely and delete my stored payment card — not just disable reminders.
They’ll say: “Suggest keeping the account dormant 'in case you need it'”
You say: Under UK GDPR I'm requesting deletion of my personal data now; please confirm in writing once complete.

Your rights when cancelling

Consumer law varies by where you live. The strongest hook for your country is the one to lead with when you contact the company — pick the one that applies and quote it in your email.

United States

FTC Click-to-Cancel Rule (2024+)
Cancel must be as easy as sign-up.
The Federal Trade Commission’s Click-to-Cancel rule requires RingGo to make cancelling at least as simple as signing up — same channel, same number of clicks. If they buried the cancel button or forced a phone call, they’re in violation; report to reportfraud.ftc.gov.
California ARL (auto-renewal law)
Renewal must be cancellable online.
California Business & Professions Code §17602 forces any company billing California residents on auto-renewal to provide an online cancel mechanism. Lawsuits have been won on this; companies often refund quickly when it’s cited.
Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act (ROSCA)
Negative-option billing must be clearly disclosed.
Federal law (15 U.S.C. §8401) requires RingGo to clearly disclose any negative-option / auto-renewal terms before charging. Buried terms = potential federal violation. Report to the FTC alongside any FTC complaint.

United Kingdom

Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013
14-day cooling-off on new subscriptions.
You can terminate any continuous service contract within 14 days of starting it and recover any payment, no questions asked. Applies regardless of RingGo’s own policy.
Consumer Rights Act 2015
Services must be as described.
If RingGo’s service was misrepresented or didn’t deliver what was promised, you have a statutory right to remedy (repair, refund, or price reduction) regardless of their terms.

European Union

Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU
14-day right of withdrawal across all EU states.
EU-wide statutory right to withdraw from any distance-sold contract within 14 days. Mirrored into local law in every member state. RingGo must honour it regardless of where they’re headquartered.
Digital Content Directive (EU) 2019/770
Refund rights for digital content failures.
Specific to digital subscriptions — gives you the right to a price reduction or contract termination when RingGo’s digital service is not as advertised, with no time limit beyond the contract period.

Worldwide

Card-issuer chargeback
Your bank can reverse the charge.
Visa, Mastercard, and Amex all run chargeback schemes — “goods/services not as described” or “subscription not cancelled” are valid reason codes everywhere they operate. Your bank handles the dispute; RingGo has ~45 days to defend.
