Belfast Parking
Can I still pay cash in Belfast City Council car parks?
Yes. Belfast City Council says cash can still be used at its pay-and-display machines.
You do not have to use an app simply because a Belfast City Council car park accepts RingGo. The council states that cash payment is still available at its pay-and-display machines.
Some sites also use pay-by-plate, meaning you enter the vehicle registration number into the machine before paying. Always read the instructions on the machine at the specific car park because payment systems can vary by site.
