I'll be arriving at Ebbsfleet international in a rental car/I don't know my registration number...
This is not a problem, enter RENTAL or UNKNOWN as your car registration when logging in/registering with Ringgo. When you find out the registration plate you can amend these details by logging back in to your account. It's important that you do this in advance of visiting Ebbsfleet International because our pre booking system is driven by ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) to ensure the best possible customer experience when using our car parks.

Please contact CP Plus on 0207 431 4001 or hs1manager@cp-plus.co.uk as soon as possible, preferably before your session is due to expire. Payment to extend your stay can be taken over the phone or your account can be settled in the car park office (located in car park D) before you leave.
