- A reduced fee is chargeable for parking outside of the bus operating dates.
- A ticket covers up to 6 people

- If you buy a ticket from the machine, you will need to display one part in your vehicle and show the other part to the driver.
If you are parking over more than one day, you will need to buy a new all-day ticket at 8 a.m. each day. You can use the RingGo service to do this without having to return to your vehicle every time.
Using RingGo
RingGo Park and Ride now lets you pay for your park and ride by phone. As with normal sessions, you pay by calling the number shown in the car park, then quote the location code (3480), and your credit or debit card details.
You can also use the RingGo app on your smartphone.
Once you have completed the call or your app purchase, you will be sent a text message confirming your payment. Show this message (which includes a special identification code) to the bus driver and you will be allowed onto the bus.
Further details on using the RingGo service across the South Hams can be found on our information page.
