Parkin announces Variable Parking Tariff Policy in Dubai
As previously announced by the Company, a Variable Parking Tariff Policy will become effective in Dubai from 4th April 2025.
The new policy, introduced by the Roads and Transport Authority, applies peak and off-peak tariffs across 100% of the public parking portfolio and to approximately 35% of developer spaces, based on the type of parking facility (Standard Parking or Premium Parking) and whether the service is used during peak or off-peak hours.
Premium Parking is categorised as parking facilities in high-demand, densely populated areas, including adjacent to or near public transport infrastructure. The zones are clearly marked with dedicated signage and tariff details on display. Additional information is now available on the Parkin website, via the Parkin mobile app and social media channels.
Following further discussions between Parkin and the RTA, the RTA has designated approximately 40% of the Company's public portfolio as Premium Parking (up from a previously communicated 35%). The balance of the public parking portfolio will be categorised as Standard Parking.
As at year-end 2024, the Company operated 3.2k parking spaces across six MSCPs. The MSCP parking tariff will remain unchanged at AED 5 per hour, chargeable around the clock, 365 days a year. However, customers parking for more than 8 hours in any 24 period will be subject to a maximum fee of AED 40.
As at year-end 2024, the Company's private developer portfolio consisted of 19.2k spaces. Following discussions with the RTA, the expectation is that approximately 35% (up from a previously expected 0%) of Parkin's developer portfolio will be subject to the variable tariff.
In line with the public parking portfolio, the Variable Parking Tariff Policy will also apply to developer parking spaces from 4th April 2025. A breakdown of tariffs that will apply to developer spaces can be found in the appendix.
To manage increased vehicle volumes during grand events, a tariff of AED25 per hour will be in effect from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM in the area immediately surrounding the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). The grand events tariff will be applicable to approximately 200 spaces.
At the time of announcement, the following grand events are scheduled to take place at the DWTC in 2025:
GITEX (13 – 17 October / 5 days)
Beautyworld Middle East (27 – 29 October / 3 days)
Gulfood Manufacturing (4 – 6 November / 3 days)
The Big 5 (24 – 27 November / 4 days)
Automechanika Dubai (9 – 11 December 2025 / 3 days)

Parkin Signs 10-Year Partnership with charge&go to Expand Dubai EV Charging Network
Parkin Company PJSC has signed a landmark 10-year agreement with charge&go, a subsidiary of Etisalat Services Holding, to roll out 200 ultra-fast electric vehicle charging stations across Dubai. The project, set to launch in October 2025, aims to slash EV charging times to under 30 minutes by deploying direct current (DC) charging technology at key destinations. Locations will include residential communities, retail centres, and leisure hubs, aligning with Dubai's 2040 Urban Master Plan and the emirate's push for sustainable mobility. Phase one of the rollout will see 20 charging stations installed in high-traffic areas, with the full network of 200 public and private points expected within 12 months. The chargers will operate under a 'park and charge' model, ensuring bays remain available only while vehicles are actively charging. Customers will be able to reserve slots, track charging status, and pay securely through Parkin's mobile app. With Dubai now home to more than 40,000 EVs, the initiative is designed to accelerate adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles by providing faster, more accessible charging options. Eng. Mohamed Abdulla Al Ali, CEO of Parkin, said the partnership demonstrates a joint commitment with e& to 'deliver cleaner, greener, tech-driven mobility solutions' while supporting Dubai's ambitions as a sustainable global city. Muammar Al Rukhaimi, CEO of Etisalat Services Holding, called the project 'a decisive step forward,' noting that it will make green mobility 'effortlessly accessible' while delivering a superior customer experience. Parkin, which manages over 212,000 paid parking spaces in Dubai, had first signed an MoU with charge&go at GITEX 2024. The new network represents one of the most significant expansions of EV charging infrastructure in the region to date. News Source: Dubai Media Office
