A market, not a car park
We don't own any parking. ParkSouq is a market where people with a spare bay meet people who need one. In a good souq you can see what's on offer, you know what it costs, and you trust the person you're dealing with. That's the standard we hold ourselves to: checked listings and prices drivers can see before they ask.
The logo
The ParkSouq mark is a car parked in a painted bay, seen from above. No arches and no ornament, just the thing we do: a car, in a bay, where it should be.
The colours
Signal yellow comes from the painted lines and signs of a car park. Asphalt black is the floor it's painted on.
