Dubai's pay-to-park provider, Parkin, has launched a smart parking system at Rashid Hospital, marking its first step into the healthcare sector. The initiative is part of a broader expansion into Dubai Health facilities, aiming to streamline patient arrivals, optimize space usage, and ease congestion. Despite the introduction of paid parking, patients and their companions will still enjoy free parking for the duration of their visit, including those undergoing emergency care, consultations, lab appointments, or ongoing treatment.
Parkin's system will also offer free valet parking to pregnant women, senior citizens, and those with disabilities upon verification of eligibility. The company, established by the Dubai government in January 2024, currently oversees 268,300 paid parking spaces across the emirate. Parkin's efforts extend beyond Dubai, with recent partnerships in Sharjah and Abu Dhabi, including a five-year agreement with Damac Properties to manage parking spaces in residential communities.
In April 2025, Parkin introduced variable pricing, charging higher rates during peak hours and in premium spaces, while maintaining free parking on Sundays and public holidays.
