DUBAI: Parkin Company PJSC has confirmed that Dubai’s Variable Parking Tariff Policy will be implemented from April 4, 2025, introducing peak and off-peak rates across all public parking spaces and a portion of developer-owned spaces.
The policy, introduced by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), will apply to 100% of public parking and 35% of developer spaces, categorised as Standard Parking or Premium Parking based on demand and proximity to transport hubs.
Premium Parking zones, located in high-traffic areas, will now cover 40% of Parkin’s public portfolio, up from the previously announced 35%. The remaining spaces will be classified as Standard Parking. The updated tariffs are now available on the Parkin website, app, and social media channels.
Parkin’s 3,200 multi-storey car park (MSCP) spaces will continue with a fixed rate of AED 5 per hour, with a maximum daily charge of AED 40 for stays exceeding 8 hours.
For developer-owned parking, 35% of spaces will now fall under the Variable Parking Tariff Policy, a change from the earlier estimate of 0%. This will take effect alongside public parking spaces from April 4, 2025.
Additionally, a special event tariff of AED 25 per hour will apply to 200 spaces near the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) during major exhibitions. Events affected include:
• GITEX (Oct 13–17)
• Beautyworld Middle East (Oct 27–29)
• Gulfood Manufacturing (Nov 4–6)
• The Big 5 (Nov 24–27)
• Automechanika Dubai (Dec 9–11)
The changes aim to enhance traffic flow and parking availability in Dubai’s busiest areas.
