RingGo Parking App Outage Sparks Nationwide Chaos and Payment Delays
January 22, 2026
The outage blocked loading the app, logging in, registering, and password resets for users across its network.
RingGo, the UK’s popular parking-pay app, is down, disrupting payment for parking during the morning rush and affecting motorists nationwide.
The company said updates would be provided and directed users to ringGo.co.uk for more information.
RingGo’s live chat shows intermittent issues, with the team prioritizing a swift restoration and offering apologies for the disruption.
Downdetector and other user reports indicate widespread outages, including login failures, inability to pay via the app or website, and a nonfunctional phone line.
Affected users report long delays in paying, including a 30-minute train journey with no successful payment and a 20-minute live chat attempt.
RingGo has asked parking operators to suspend enforcement until service returns, while Pay and Display machines in operation areas may still function.
The service spans about 17,000 locations in 500 towns and cities across the UK and is owned by EasyPark, a Swedish parking technology company.
There was no official statement from RingGo at the time of reporting.
Social media users expressed frustration and concern about potential parking fines amid the outage, with repeated login and registration issues.
The outage heightened anxiety among commuters and travelers about penalties while the disruption persisted.
