Parking in Dubai: A guide to permits, paid parking and do's and don't's
Listen up, motorists. Whether you're a seasoned Dubai driver or this is your first time getting behind the wheel, we all need somewhere to stop. When it comes to parking in Dubai, the city isn't short of spaces and there are plenty of options on where to leave your car. However, what you might not know, is that there are different rules (and different prices) depending on which location you choose. From multi-story car parks to malls, this is everything you need to know about parking in Dubai. Parking in Dubai: Your go-to guide Paid parking in Dubai Public parking in Dubai is organised and managed by Parkin, a company which took over responsibility from the RTA in 2024. Looking after public and private spaces around the city, Parkin has since implemented a new tariff system for parking, which divides into four zones named A, B, C and (you guessed it), D. Coming into practice in April 2025, there is also a new peak time hours fee for specific spaces that are located near transport hubs, business districts and shopping areas. With the new tariffs, these premium parking spaces have risen to Dhs6 per hour. In contrast, regular parking spaces across the city have remained priced at Dhs4 per hour. If you want to understand exactly how much your stay will cost, you can find a full breakdown of the tariffs in each zone here. Some areas of the city are not covered with public parking fees, however, this can be subject to change. Most recently, Parkin introduced two new paid zones in Mirdif, operating between 8am and 10pm from Monday to Saturday. Parkin also operates six multi-storey car parks in Dubai, which provide 3,200 parking spaces. Tariffs at these multi-storey car parks are priced at Dhs5 per hour and be chargeable all around the clock every day of the year. Anyone who parks for more than eight hours in a multi-storey in any 24-hour period will be charged a maximum of Dhs40. Parking in Dubai: Permits If you're looking to obtain a parking permit in Dubai, you can do so through the RTA's website. As well as paying public parking fines, the online RTA portal allows you to apply for or renew a parking permit. There are a range of permits available, from permits for people of determination, to Emirati citizens and even for contracting or within a residential are in specific circumstances. You can learn more about different types of permits on the RTA website. Mall parking in Dubai If you're heading for a well deserved spot of retail therapy, you should note that there are different parking rules and fees depending on which mall you choose. Dubai Mall (Credit: Dubai Mall) The iconic mall recently changed from offering free parking and is now running a paid system in collaboration with Salik. If you like this: Here's what you must know about Salik tolls The toll gate company's technology is now being used to offer a barrier-free parking experience for shoppers, through the use of vehicle plate recognition. If you receive a charge, it will be linked with your digital Salik account. Parking is still free for the first four hours of Monday to Thursday, and for the first six hours between Friday and Sunday.

However, if you want to stay longer, you can validate all-day free parking if you spend Dhs150 in the mall and validate at a customer service desk (so keep a hold of those receipts). Weekend parking is also free, and the current weekday prices are as follows: 0 – 4 hours: Free 4 – 5 hours: Dhs20 5 – 6 hours: Dhs40 6 – 7 hours: Dhs60 7 – 8 hours: Dhs100 8 hours+: Dhs150 BurJuman Mall Also using a ticketless system, parking at BurJuman Mall is free for the first three hours.
