In May 2025, Parkin, Dubai’s leading public parking operator, launched a game-changing monthly parking subscription service, transforming how residents and commuters manage parking in the emirate. Starting at just AED 300, these subscriptions offer a cost-effective, convenient solution for daily parkers in areas like Dubai Silicon Oasis, Al Karama, and beyond.
What is Parkin’s Monthly Parking Subscription?
Parkin’s monthly parking subscription, introduced on May 19, 2025, allows motorists to park in designated zones across Dubai without the hassle of daily payments or time limits. Aimed at residents, commuters, and frequent visitors, the service eliminates the need for SMS-based parking extensions and reduces the risk of fines. Available through the Parkin mobile app or website (www.parkin.ae), the subscriptions cover key areas and offer significant savings, especially with the new variable tariff system introduced in April 2025.
