Parkin and CAFU Launch Region's First On‑Demand Fuel and Car Wash Service Across the Company's Parking Portfolio
Parkin Company PJSC 'Parkin' or the 'Company', the largest provider of paid public parking facilities and services in Dubai, has entered a strategic partnership with CAFU, a world leading on demand fuel delivery and vehicle services platform, to deliver convenient, value-added automative services directly to Parkin's customers across its parking portfolio. As part of the agreement, CAFU will offer on-demand fuel delivery and car wash services for vehicles parked at the Company's parking facilities. The collaboration forms part of Parkin's broader growth strategy to expand its integrated service offering. Parkin customers will be able to request fuel delivery or a car wash by clicking on the link sent through SMS / WhatsApp and, in the near future, directly through Parkin's mobile app, while CAFU users may continue to access the services via the CAFU app as usual. Beyond offering simplicity and convenience, delivering these services directly to customers will help reduce the need for multiple individual trips to fuel stations and car washes, helping to reduce traffic congestion and associated direct and indirect emissions. The pressurised wash system helps to reduce water consumption, reinforcing both companies' commitment to the UAE's Green Agenda 2030 and their role in driving a more sustainable future. Powered by a unified system integrating both platforms, the refuelling and car wash services are scheduled to launch on Thursday, 14 August 2025. The long-term agreement reflects Parkin and CAFU's shared commitment to innovation, digital integration and customer-centric service delivery. The partnership is expected to generate annual revenues of AED 5 to 7 million for Parkin, with no capital investment required, highlighting the strong commercial viability of the alliance. Eng. Mohamed Abdulla Al Ali, CEO of Parkin, commented: 'This unique partnership with CAFU marks a significant achievement in our mission to enhance the Parkin customer experience. By offering on-demand fuel delivery and car wash services, delivered directly to vehicles parked in our spaces, we are turning idle parking time into a moment of convenience. Expanding our portfolio of value-added services is a key pillar of our growth strategy and this collaboration reflects our commitment to delivering innovative, time-saving solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers. The agreement serves to underscore our ambition to transform Parkin into an integrated, customer focused, mobility platform, powered by digital innovation and meaningful partnerships.

Partnering with Parkin takes that mission straight to where our customers already are, in the very heart of the city's parking network.

You can now get CAFU services at Parkin parking areas in Dubai
Own a car in Dubai? Life (and parking) is about to get a lot easier. CAFU and Parkin are teaming up, which means you'll now be able to get your car washed or refueled on demand at any of the Parkin areas in Dubai. Instead of spending more time trekking to the nearest fuel station to wash your car or refuel the tank, starting August 14, you can now get everything done while you're already parked at one of the locations. Parkin customers can take advantage of the service by clicking the link in their SMS or WhatsApp. The service will also soon be directly available through Parkin's mobile app. CAFU users can use the app as usual. The CAFU truck will show up on demand and refuel or wash your car, without fuss or hassle. Speaking on the new service launch, Eng. Mohamed Abdulla Al Ali, CEO of Parkin said, 'By offering on-demand fuel delivery and car wash services, delivered directly to vehicles parked in our spaces, we are turning idle parking time into a moment of convenience. Expanding our portfolio of value-added services is a key pillar of our growth strategy, and this collaboration reflects our commitment to delivering innovative, time-saving solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers.' Variable parking rates Dubai introduced variable parking rates around the city in April this year as an initiative to improve availability, ease congestion, and ensure fairer and more accessible parking. Now, there is a parking tariff system in place based on peak and off-peak hours. In high-demand areas such as Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, Deira, and Jumeirah, you'll notice premium parking spaces too, which give closer access to busy zones. There is also variable parking around events, festivals, exhibitions, and conferences, so you'll pay a little extra when there are events taking place.
