How to use PAYPARK to pay for a public parking in Dubai?
RTA parking definitely has best solution to pay using SMS. However,
if you have number plates from any other state (Abu Dhabi, Sharjah,
Saudi number plate etc.), it might get a bit confusing to figure out the
parking format.
Also, RTA has divided parking areas
into zones that can be recognized using a unique zone ID. For example,
318C is a parking zone in Al Karama. The RTA has also decided an hourly
rate for each zone. The zones also have different paid parking hours
depending on how busy the zone may get over the week. All of this
information is generally available on a display board in the parking
zone.
You would generally find a parking
meter to pay for your parking using a Nol card or cash. However, in case
you decide to extend your parking payment using this method, you may
have to walk back to the meter to pay again. As such, most users find it
very convenient to pay for parking using SMS.
Next time you would want to park via
