Dubai: Tired of the daily hassle of paying for parking in Dubai? There's now a simpler, more cost-effective solution - a parking subscription from Parkin Company PJSC, Dubai’s largest provider of paid public parking services. This subscription lets you park as often as you need across multiple locations without worrying about fees each time, saving you time and money.

With no need to track parking durations, renew time limits, or stress over fines, it is a game-changer for anyone who relies on public parking daily. Available via the Parkin app and website, this subscription could make your daily commute or errands far more convenient. Here’s everything you need to know to take advantage of this service.

This subscription provides access to convenient parking spots in designated parking zones (B and D). These areas are typically regulated by parking meters or have specific time limits.
