Parkin, CAFU roll out fuel and car wash service across Dubai

Drivers in Dubai could soon skip their usual detour to the petrol station or car wash.

Starting 14 August, Parkin will roll out on-demand fuel delivery and cleaning services across its network, in partnership with CAFU.

Here’s how it works: book the service while your vehicle is parked in a Parkin lot, and a CAFU crew will handle the rest. Parkin says customers will be able to request a fill-up or car wash through links sent via SMS or WhatsApp, with an in-app option coming later. CAFU users can still book directly through the CAFU app.

According to both companies, the setup should mean fewer car trips for drivers, easing congestion and cutting emissions linked to extra journeys. CAFU’s pressurised wash system also uses less water, a nod to the UAE’s Green Agenda 2030.

Parkin CEO Mohamed Abdulla Al Ali said the move turns “idle parking time into a moment of convenience,” adding that it fits with the firm’s push to expand value-added services.

CAFU founder Rashid Al Ghurair said the goal was to make car ownership “smarter, simpler and seamless,” bringing services to customers where they already are - “in the heart of the city’s parking network.”
