Parkin Company PJSC, the provider of paid public parking facilities and services in Dubai, has signed a partnership with SP Corporation Car Parking Management LLC (Secure Parking) to accelerate the rollout of barrierless parking across the UAE.
Secure Parking is a smart mobility operator that manages more than 1.2 million parking spaces across 13 countries.
The alliance builds on an implementation at City Walk in Dubai between both entities, where an integrated barrierless parking system is now operational.
Parkin, Secure Parking target 60,000 parking spaces in UAE expansion deal
Following its performance at the site, the companies have identified a pipeline of over 60,000 parking spaces across the UAE for future collaboration, positioning the partnership among the barrierless parking expansion initiatives underway in the region.
The system at City Walk replaces gated entry with vehicle recognition technology and integrated remote payment, removing physical bottlenecks and enabling access without stops. Through the Parkin platform, motorists receive real-time confirmations, tariff visibility and SMS notifications, supported by a grace period for payment.
Parkin manages approximately 229,000 paid parking spaces in Dubai under a long-term concession agreement and processed more than 70 million transactions in the first half of 2025.
Secure Parking has more than 20 years of operational experience in the UAE, with a portfolio spanning destinations across the country. The partnership combines Parkin’s scale, regulatory integration and digital platform capabilities with Secure Parking’s international operational experience.
The partnership will extend into the valet services segment, creating a digital ecosystem spanning self-parking and valet parking experiences. Customers will be able to pay for Secure Parking valet services through the Parkin app and digital wallet, enabling transactions within the existing Parkin platform.
Secure Parking to operate select Parkin-branded valet locations
Secure Parking will also manage and operate select Parkin-branded valet locations, leveraging its international operational standards and UAE presence.
By integrating valet operations into Parkin’s digital payment ecosystem, the companies are creating a parking journey from entry to valet service, supported by real-time payments and digital transparency.
“By partnering with Secure Parking, we are bringing together the scale and sophistication of Dubai’s most advanced digital parking platform with proven global operational expertise. This collaboration accelerates our transition toward fully barrierless infrastructure and positions Parkin at the forefront of smart mobility innovation in the UAE. It is a clear step toward creating a scalable framework that supports the country’s smart city vision and sets a new benchmark for urban parking infrastructure,” Eng. Mohamed Abdulla Al Ali, CEO of Parkin said in a statement.
“Barrierless parking is quickly becoming essential urban infrastructure, not just a convenience feature. With Parkin, we have an opportunity to set a new benchmark for how digital mobility services are delivered at scale across the UAE, and deliver value for customers,” Dr. Navin Valrani, Group Managing Director of Al Shirawi Group and CEO of Secure Parking UAE added.
Dr. Valrani said barrierless parking is viewed as a foundational layer of smart city infrastructure, enabling real-time analytics, dynamic allocation and cross-network interoperability. He added that through the partnership, Parkin’s digital platform capability will combine with Secure Parking’s global operational experience to create a framework for public-private parking integration across the UAE.
