Park Now, Pay Later: Parkin to Launch New Features for a Better Parking Experience
Dubai’s largest paid public parking operator, Parkin PJSC, is set to revolutionize the way we park with exciting new features designed to enhance customer convenience. The company recently announced plans to introduce autopay and pay-later options for its users, a move that promises to make parking in the city even easier and more accessible.
A Step Towards Convenience and Innovation
These new payment features are part of a broader strategy to improve the overall parking experience for Dubai’s residents and visitors. The announcement follows a significant visit by Mattar Al Tayer, Director General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors at the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), to Parkin’s offices. During the visit, Parkin’s leadership, led by CEO Mohamed Abdulla Al Ali, shared their future plans for expanding the parking infrastructure across Dubai.
Parkin’s commitment to innovation was highlighted in their discussions about integrating cutting-edge smart technologies into their operations. These include the introduction of a new customer call center designed to handle over 500 interactions daily, ensuring that users receive quick and efficient support.
Parkin emphasized that this expansion effort aims not only to improve parking services but also contribute actively to the broader traffic management solutions in Dubai. As Al Ali put it, “This visit reaffirms our commitment to innovation, service excellence, and contributing actively to traffic management solutions in Dubai.”
New Payment Features for Seamless Parking
One of the key upgrades Parkin is introducing is the autopay and pay-later options. These new features will give users more flexibility when managing their parking payments. With autopay, users can set up automatic payments for their parking fees, making it more convenient and hassle-free. The pay-later option is ideal for those who may not want to pay immediately, giving them the option to settle their fees at a later time.
These features are expected to significantly enhance the customer experience by providing more payment options and reducing the need to search for change or rush to pay before time runs out.
Expanding Services: Beyond Parking
But Parkin’s commitment to convenience doesn’t stop at payment options. In addition to introducing new payment features, the company is also expanding its service offerings at select parking locations across Dubai. Parkin will soon provide a range of automotive services, including:
- Car washing
- On-the-go refueling
- Engine oil changes
- Tyre checks
- Battery inspections
These new services will make parking not just easier but also more convenient, as drivers can take care of their car maintenance needs while parked. This holistic approach is designed to add even more value to Parkin's customers by offering a one-stop solution for parking and automotive care.
Looking Ahead: Expansion Plans
Looking to the future, Parkin has aggressive expansion plans. The company is already exploring opportunities to take its services beyond Dubai and into other emirates. But the ambition doesn’t stop there—by the end of 2024, Parkin is in talks with a major Saudi-based conglomerate to bring its paid parking services to Saudi Arabia. This expansion into neighboring countries reflects Parkin’s vision to enhance convenience for drivers across the region while contributing to the development of smart city solutions.
A Smarter, More Convenient Future
Parkin’s latest developments, from innovative payment options to new services and regional expansion plans, reflect a clear commitment to creating smarter, more efficient solutions for drivers. As Dubai continues to evolve as a hub of innovation, Parkin is right there, leading the charge with cutting-edge solutions that make daily life just a little bit easier.
Stay tuned for more updates as Parkin rolls out these exciting new features and continues its journey toward becoming the go-to provider for parking and automotive services across the UAE and beyond.
