Dubai transforms parking with Parkin’s smart app, offering real-time space finder, AutoPay, seamless payments & EV charging for a hassle-free experience.
Parkin Company PJSC (“Parkin”), Dubai’s leading provider of paid public parking services, has introduced an advanced mobile app designed to redefine the parking experience for residents and visitors alike. The app is packed with innovative features aimed at streamlining parking management, enhancing accessibility, and promoting seamless urban mobility across the city.
Users can register effortlessly through multiple methods—by creating an account, linking their UAE Pass, or connecting via their RTA account using the Parkin registration form. Once registered, the app enables users to make quick and secure payments for both public and multi-storey car park facilities, as well as designated developer parking zones. Additionally, users can manage a digital wallet for easy top-ups, oversee vehicle registrations, and subscribe to seasonal parking plans for added convenience.
The Parkin app goes beyond basic parking payments by offering a real-time parking finder, allowing users to quickly locate available spaces across Dubai. Its advanced search function lets drivers easily discover both on-street and off-street parking with live availability updates. Users can also schedule parking in advance, set reminders through an integrated calendar, and opt for the PayLater feature, which allows deferred payments for ultimate flexibility.
To ensure uninterrupted service, the app supports dynamic auto-renewal, enabling users to maintain active parking subscriptions without manual intervention. Additionally, the app integrates digital parking permits into device wallets, consolidating all parking-related information for quick and convenient access.
A major highlight of the app is AutoPay, a game-changing feature that eliminates the need for physical tickets, payment machines, or manual transactions. Utilizing Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology, the system detects vehicles upon entry and exit, linking them directly to the user’s registered payment method for automatic fee deduction.
This frictionless technology is available at Parkin-operated multi-storey car parks (MSCPs) and, through a strategic collaboration with Majid Al Futtaim, extends to major shopping destinations such as Mall of the Emirates and Deira City Centre. The barrier-free system enables drivers to enter and exit parking zones effortlessly, ensuring a fast, smooth, and efficient parking journey.
Beyond standard parking payments, the app also provides options for:
Paying parking fines
Disputing charges
Requesting refunds
Reserving and extending parking sessions
Parkin is set to introduce value-added services in future updates, making the app even more indispensable for drivers in Dubai. One of the upcoming features includes EV charging integration, allowing users to pay for both parking and charging in a single digital transaction through their in-app wallet.
Additionally, Parkin is teaming up with ENOC to bring on-demand car care and maintenance services to select locations. Customers will soon be able to book and pay for services such as:
Car washing
Mobile refueling
Engine oil changes
Tyre checks
Battery inspections
Through app integration with ENOC’s digital platforms, users will benefit from a unified service experience with real-time booking management, service status updates, and secure in-app payments.
With its intuitive features, automated payment solutions, and future-ready integrations, the Parkin mobile app is set to transform the way Dubai residents and visitors navigate parking. Whether it’s finding a spot faster, eliminating ticket hassles, or accessing premium automotive services on the go, this all-in-one platform makes urban parking more efficient than ever.
