    Save time and money when you park

    Whether you're heading to town, popping to the shops, or meeting friends for lunch, your BCP LIFE card can help your parking go a further.

    When you pay for parking using RingGo you'll get an extra hour of parking added free of charge as long as it is:

    • after 9:30am
    • before the start of the overnight tariff
    • in selected council-run car parks

    No codes, no vouchers and no paperwork. Once your BCP LIFE and RingGo accounts are linked, the free hour is applied automatically whenever you pay for an eligible parking session.

    You can use the offer every day and as often as you like. Each eligible paid parking session comes with an additional free hour.

    To activate parking offers, sign in to your BCP LIFE account and switch on Parking Offers.

    You'll be asked to enter the mobile phone number associated with your RingGo account. Once entered, your accounts will be linked automatically.

    Please allow up to 48 hours for the connection to become active.

    Once linked, there's nothing else you need to do. The free hour will be applied automatically whenever you pay in an eligible car park.

    Once your BCP LIFE and RingGo accounts are linked, there's nothing extra to do. Simply pay for your parking through RingGo as normal and your free hour will be added automatically when you're parked in an eligible car park.

    The offer can be used more than once a day. Every eligible paid parking session receives an additional free hour, giving you more flexibility whether you're making a quick stop or visiting multiple destinations throughout the day.

    Your parking benefit is linked to your personal BCP LIFE account and isn't transferable to other people.

    There's no need to display your BCP LIFE card when you park. Everything is managed digitally through your linked accounts, ensuring your free hour is applied automatically whenever you're eligible.

    Check that:

    • "Parking Offers" are enabled in your BCP LIFE account
    • the phone number connected to RingGo is correct
    • at least 48 hours have passed since linking your accounts
    • you started your parking session after 9:30am
    • the car park is included in the scheme

    If everything looks correct and the free hour still wasn't applied, please contact RingGo support.
