Dubai parking fine checker

Parkin publishes separate fine tables for roadside and multi-storey parking, and not paying can cost AED 150 in one and AED 1,000 in the other. Which applies depends on where you parked, not only on what you did.

These are published amounts, not our arithmetic — nothing is added here. Parkin publishes separate tables for roadside parking and plots and for multi-storey car parks, and the same offence can carry a very different amount under each. Where a cell says “not published” it means we found no figure for that combination, not that the offence is permitted.

The AED 850 difference

Parking without paying costs AED 150 at the roadside. In a multi-storey car park, “evading payment of the parking fees by any means whatsoever” is AED 1,000.

Overstaying is the same shape: AED 100 at the roadside, AED 500 in a multi-storey. The offences that are equal in both — the accessible-bay and reserved-space fines, both AED 1,000 — are the ones where the amount is clearly deliberate. The full schedules, the zones and the free windows.

Common questions

How much is a parking fine in Dubai?

It depends on the offence and on whether you were at the roadside or in a multi-storey car park, because Parkin publishes a separate table for each. Parking without a valid ticket is AED 150 at the roadside, and evading payment in a multi-storey is AED 1,000. Parking in a People of Determination bay without a permit is AED 1,000 in both.

Is parking free in Dubai on Sundays?

The parking operator publishes that Sundays are free all day and that parking is free between 22:00 and 08:00. The Dubai government portal describes the same overnight window from the other direction and does not mention public holidays at all, while the operator says they are free. Both statements are official.

What happens if I lose my parking ticket in Dubai?

The multi-storey table publishes AED 150 for a lost ticket or card. No equivalent figure is published for roadside parking, which does not use a physical ticket in the same way.
