If you are planning to park your vehicle in a public parking area in Ajman, there are various ways to pay for parking depending on the location and duration of your stay. Here are the most common methods of payment:
Parking Meters
Many public parking areas in Ajman are equipped with parking meters. You can pay for parking by inserting coins or using your credit/debit card in the meter. The rate varies from one parking area to another, but it is usually around AED 2 per hour. Parking meters display the amount of time purchased, and you should ensure that you have enough coins or credit on your card to cover the duration of your stay.
Parking Apps
Several parking apps have been launched in Ajman, which allows drivers to pay for parking using their smartphones. You need to download the app, register your vehicle and payment details, and select the parking area and duration. You can also extend the parking time remotely, which saves you from running back to the parking meter. Popular parking apps in Ajman include Mawaqif and Ajman Pay.
SMS
Some parking areas in Ajman allow drivers to pay for parking by sending an SMS message to a designated number. You need to send the vehicle’s registration number, the parking area code, and the duration of your stay to the given number. You will receive an SMS confirmation, and the parking fee will be deducted from your mobile credit balance.
Parking Permits
If you park regularly in a specific parking area, you can apply for a parking permit to save time and money. You can obtain a parking permit from Ajman Municipality or the designated parking management company. Parking permits have a fixed fee and allow you to park in the designated area without the need to pay for each parking session.
