Dubai motorists can now settle parking fees up to 48 hours after leaving multistorey facilities, avoiding potential fines of Dh1,000.
A New Convenience for Dubai Drivers
Parkin has launched its dedicated mobile application in Dubai, bringing a range of practical features to motorists using public parking spaces across the city. While the app offers standard payment options alongside the ability to pay fines, dispute charges, and request refunds, the standout addition is the innovative ‘PayLater’ function.
This fresh feature applies specifically to multistorey parking facilities and provides drivers with a 48-hour window after exit to complete their parking payment. This offers considerable flexibility for motorists who might not have payment methods readily available when leaving the car park.
Who Can Access the ‘PayLater’ Option?
The ‘PayLater’ service is accessible to all drivers, regardless of whether they have registered with Parkin:
- Registered users have created online accounts with Parkin and registered their vehicle details. They can also activate the Autopay feature for automatic payment deduction upon exit.
- Non-registered users can still utilise the delayed payment option by manually completing the process online, even without creating an account.
How the ‘PayLater’ System Functions
Dubai’s multistorey car parks operate on a ticketless system, eliminating physical parking tickets. Instead, cameras at the entrance automatically capture vehicle licence plate numbers upon entry.
After exiting the car park, drivers can complete payment via the Parkin website through these steps:
- Visit parkin.ae
- Select the ‘PayLater’ service on the homepage
- Enter your vehicle’s licence plate details
- View the parking ticket linked to your vehicle
- Complete payment using a credit or debit card
Preventing Parking Penalties
It’s crucial to complete the parking payment within 48 hours of leaving the car park. Missing this deadline will result in a substantial Dh1,000 fine. To avoid this unnecessary expense, drivers should make prompt payments through the PayLater service.
Understanding the Autopay Function
For regular users of Parkin-operated facilities, the Autopay feature delivers a seamless payment experience.
How it works: Registered users can add funds to their Parkin Wallet—an in-app digital wallet designed specifically for parking payments.
Once activated, the Autopay feature automatically deducts parking charges from the wallet whenever the registered vehicle exits a multistorey car park. This eliminates manual payment requirements and removes the risk of late payment fines.
Multiple Payment Options for Dubai Multistorey Parking
Dubai drivers have several methods available for making parking payments at multistorey facilities:
- Parkin app and website – Pay directly through the mobile application or online at parkin.ae
- RTA Dubai app – An alternative option from Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority
- WhatsApp – Send a message to +971 58 800 9090 to process payment
- SMS – Send a parking payment SMS to 7275
- On-site payment machines – Use cash or card at designated kiosks within the car park
Key Takeaway
The new PayLater feature from Parkin gives Dubai motorists valuable flexibility by allowing parking payments up to 48 hours after exiting multistorey facilities, while helping them avoid the Dh1,000 fine for late payments.
