Depending on the location, parking fees may be different or even complimentary. The app might use your car’s licence plate number for this validation. These parking metres are managed by Parkonic, a parking guidance management solution, via a smartphone app rather than directly connecting to RTA.

There are a few different ways to pay. You can install the Parkonic app, create an account for your car, and then deposit funds into it. The portal will process payments immediately as soon as you leave a parking lot.
If not, you can pay at a booth on the property or online. The operator of the parking lot will decide on rates.
Make sure your e-wallet has adequate money. According to the portal, individuals with outstanding parking costs, both listed and non-listed, would have 48 hours to recharge their accounts to pay.
The Dubai traffic department will impose a Dhs150 fine within 48 hours.
