Dubai’s parking system is set to undergo a smart transformation. Parkin UAE, a leading parking provider in the city, has announced upcoming updates to simplify how drivers pay for parking and manage their experience.
Two new features — AutoPay and PayLater — will be introduced to make the lives of drivers in the busy city easier. These tools aim to make parking more convenient and stress-free. While exact details about PayLater and its launch date are yet to be revealed, it could mean drivers won’t have to pay immediately after parking.
Changes to Dubai’s parking fees are also coming this year. Starting in March 2025, premium parking spaces will see a price increase.
- During peak hours (8 AM–10 AM and 4 PM–8 PM), premium spaces will cost AED 6 per hour.
- Regular spaces will remain at AED 4 per hour.
If you’re wondering about what is considered a premium parking space in Dubai, these are the most convenient slots in the city allowing drivers to navigate crowded areas.
Premium parking spaces are those located in busy areas like:
- Within 500 meters of metro stations.
- Busy commercial zones.
- Popular shopping districts.
Parkin UAE is working closely with Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) to implement these changes and enhance the parking experience for everyone.
