The people of Dubai are getting ready for an increase in parking fees in the near future.
Paid parking in Dubai increases fees.
When the new prices go into effect, residents of Dubai will be subject to additional annual expenses of up to Dh4,000 for paid parking.
Due to the fact that Parkin Company intends to implement public parking fees in his community by the end of July, an Egyptian expat who lives in Arjan, Dubai, is preparing for an increase in his family's monthly expenses that will be greater than Dh300. In order to avoid these additional fees, which can amount to up to Dh4,000 a year, Khaled Hossein (name changed) is contemplating going through with the sale of the second automobile that his family owns.
Dubai residents are preparing to pay higher parking fees soon.
The citizens of Dubai are getting ready to pay higher parking rates in the near future.
There will be an increase in the number of paid parking spaces in Arjan, which is one of the six important neighborhoods in Dubai, by the end of the following month. Additionally, motorists will be required to pay higher prices for certain premium parking spots.
Jaddaf Waterfront, Al Sufouh Gardens, Dubai Land Residence Complex, Majan, and Liwan 1 and 2 are the five other neighborhoods that are included in this list.
The additional cost will be incurred as a result of his family's second automobile, which his wife operates in order to travel to and from work. Additionally, they are only permitted to use one parking spot freely on their property. Between the hours of eight in the morning and ten at night, they reside in a Zone B parking area, where the rate begins at Dh3 for one hour and gradually climbs over time.
The wife of Hossein gets home from work at approximately six o'clock. From Monday through Friday, the parking price is Dh12 for four hours, and on Saturdays, it is Dh20. You do not need to pay for parking on Sundays. This totals Dh80 every week, which is equivalent to Dh320 per month. Over the course of a year, the parking fees that the household must pay might add up to almost Dh4,000.
They could consider purchasing a seasonal parking card, which costs Dh4,500 for a year and is available to them as an option. They are also considering selling their second automobile in order to save money and avoid adding additional expenses to the annual rent of Dh46,000 for a one-bedroom flat.
Hossein and his wife are dissatisfied with the fact that they are now required to pay for parking in their community, which was previously free of charge.
In the same way that locals are rethinking their monthly budgets and parking expenses, tourists who drive to a shopping mall need to be cautious of the length of time they spend shopping or catching up with friends. In addition, beginning on July 1st, parking fees will be collected in certain departments of Dubai Mall.
Motorists who visit the shopping center for more than four hours during the weekdays or for six hours on the weekends (from Friday to Sunday) will be required to pay the appropriate costs, with the amount of the maximum tariff for parking for twenty-four hours reaching up to Dh1,000. Certain parking places, on the other hand, will continue to be unoccupied, and certain individuals will not be required to pay any parking fees at all.
