G24 in the official figures
DVLA's figures record 195,548 keeper-record requests made by or on behalf of G24 in 2025/26 — about 536 a day, up 14% on 2024/25, the 15th-highest of any parking company. That is 1.6 times its 2018/19 figure of 121,331. As an IPC member, G24's rejected appeals go to the IAS, not POPLA. The IAS publishes only service-wide totals — in its 2024–25 year, operators conceded 7,888 appeals before adjudication — and nothing per operator.

Grounds that work against G24
Pick the ground that genuinely fits your situation — a focused, evidenced argument beats a scattergun one.
- The signs were missing, unclear or obscured, so no contract was formed where you parked.
- The Notice to Keeper did not meet Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, so the keeper is not liable.
- You were within the Code’s consideration or grace periods.
- You paid, or held a valid permit or Blue Badge, and the charge is a mistake (e.g. a mistyped registration).
- Genuine mitigating circumstances — a breakdown, a medical emergency, or being directed by staff.
- The amount demanded exceeds the £100 cap in the industry Single Code of Practice, or debt-recovery fees above the Code’s £70 cap (or not stated on the signs) have been added.

G24 appeals — frequently asked questions
How long do I have to appeal a G24 parking charge?
You normally have 28 days from the date on the notice to make a first-stage appeal directly to G24. Appealing promptly also protects the discounted rate. Never pay while you intend to appeal — paying is usually treated as admitting liability and ends the appeal.
What happens if G24 rejects my appeal?
G24 is a member of the IPC, so a rejected first-stage appeal can be escalated — for free — to IAS (Independent Appeals Service). G24 must give you a verification/reference code to do this, and you generally have 28 days from the rejection to use it.
Is a G24 parking charge a fine I have to pay?
No. A G24 "Parking Charge Notice" is a private invoice for an alleged breach of contract — not a statutory fine like a council Penalty Charge Notice. It is only enforceable if G24 can show a valid contract (clear signage) and, to pursue the registered keeper, that it followed Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012.
