Why ParkSouq bays are for working hours
A standard ParkSouq bay is rented from 08:00 to 18:00. That one choice is what makes a shared bay work for both sides.
Quick answers
- What hours can I use a ParkSouq bay?
- A standard ParkSouq bay is rented for working hours, 08:00 to 18:00, Monday to Friday or Monday to Saturday. Bays owned by a business can also be rented 24 hours, 7 days a week.
- How much does a ParkSouq bay cost?
- A reserved working-hours bay costs AED 650 a month, AED 200 a week or AED 80 a day.
- What happens if I leave a ParkSouq bay late?
- There is a 15-minute grace period. After that the driver pays AED 30 for each extra hour, and most of it goes to the bay owner.
The bay is empty when its owner is at work
If you drive to work, your own bay at home sits empty for most of the day. If your company leases bays it doesn't fill, those sit empty too. Working hours are exactly when a commuter needs a bay near the office.
The owner gets it back every evening
Owners don't give up their bay. A driver parks from 08:00 and leaves by 18:00, and the bay is the owner's again for the evening and the night.
Monday to Friday, or Monday to Saturday
Owners choose the days. Drivers book Monday to Friday by the day, week or month, and drivers who also work Saturdays add them by the day where the owner offers Saturdays.
What it costs a driver
A reserved working-hours bay costs AED 650 a month, AED 200 a week or AED 80 a day.
And if a driver is late?
There's a 15-minute grace period. After that the driver pays AED 30 for each extra hour, because the owner needs the bay back, and most of it goes to the owner.
When 24 hours makes sense
Some bays belong to a business that is happy to rent them day and night. Those can be listed for 24 hours, 7 days a week.
