Payment FAQ
Why have you taken money even though my charging session didn’t start?
We place a £30 pre-authorisation hold on your card at the start of each session. If the session doesn’t start or is unsuccessful, this hold is released within 1–3 working days.
Why does the station show £30 as the charge before I even start charging?
The £30 is a pre-authorisation amount held on your card to ensure sufficient funds. This will be replaced by the actual charging cost at the end of your session.
Why do you charge a pre-authorisation fee?
Pre-authorisation confirms you have sufficient funds to cover the charging session. The pre-authorisation amount will be replaced by the actual charging cost at the end of your session. If the session doesn’t start or is unsuccessful, this hold is released within 1–3 working days.
What’s the difference between RFID cards / charging cards and contactless payment?
Charging cards are subscription-based cards provided by charging network operators (like hotel key cards). Contactless payment uses your credit or debit card to start charging without registration.
My credit card is being declined — what can I do?
We accept Visa and Mastercard. Your card must have at least £30 of available funds to start a charging session. If problems persist, please contact your bank.
