About us

Dubai's market for spare parking

Every working day, bays sit empty in office car parks and residential towers while commuters circle the block. ParkSouq puts those bays to work.

Why we started

Dubai has around 3.5 million vehicles on its roads during the day (Dubai Media Office, November 2024). Every one of them has to stop somewhere. Much of the parking those drivers need is already built. It sits behind a gate, empty through the working day.

A company pays for allotted bays its team doesn't fill. A resident drives to work and leaves their own bay empty until the evening. A few streets away, a commuter is late again because there was nowhere to park.

ParkSouq connects the two: offices and residents earn from bays they aren't using, and commuters get a reserved, covered bay in or next to their office building.

How we work

  • Working hours firstBays are rented 08:00 to 18:00, Monday to Friday or Monday to Saturday. The owner has the bay back every evening. Bays owned by a business can also be rented around the clock.
  • Every listing is checkedWe check every bay before it goes live and may ask for proof that the owner is allowed to rent it out. Then we email the owner what the bay can earn. Nothing goes live until they agree.
  • Owners stay in chargeOwners see each driver's request and approve it before a booking starts.
  • Free to listListing a bay costs nothing, now and after launch.
  • Prices in the openDrivers see what a bay costs before they ask for it: AED 650 a month, AED 200 a week or AED 80 a day for a working-hours bay.

Why "souq"

Souq is the Arabic word for market. A market is where people with something to offer meet the people who need it, at a fair price. ParkSouq is that market for parking bays.
