New Barrier-Free Parking System at Mall of the Emirates: Here’s What You Need to Know

Free Parking

Starting Monday, February 3, 2025, Mall of the Emirates (MOE) unveils its new paperless, barrier-free parking system, set to make your parking experience smoother and faster than ever before. This exciting new toll system eliminates the frustrations of traditional parking methods and provides a seamless way to pay for parking while you enjoy the many attractions at one of Dubai’s premier retail and entertainment destinations.

Whether you’re heading to Ski Dubai for some black run action, catching the latest blockbuster at VOX Cinemas, exploring the food court, or indulging in a shopping spree across the mall’s extensive stores, this new system is designed to enhance convenience for all visitors.

Streamlined Entry and Exit: No More Ticket Stress

One of the biggest benefits of this new parking system is the streamlined experience. Gone are the days of worrying about paper tickets, losing them, and facing the frustration of expensive replacements. With the new system, drivers can enjoy faster access to the mall and quicker exits, ensuring a hassle-free visit.

For those who often find themselves caught in the scramble for lost parking tickets (we see you, fellow forgetful drivers), this new system promises to put an end to the familiar dread of “I’m never going to financially recover from this.” For individuals with ADHD or anyone prone to misplacing things, this update is especially welcome.

How to Pay for Parking at Mall of the Emirates

The new parking payment system operates via SMS, which makes it incredibly easy to settle your parking fees. Upon entering the mall, a camera will scan your number plate at the entrance. After the allotted grace period for free parking has passed, an SMS will be sent to the registered phone number associated with the vehicle.

This SMS will contain a payment link, which allows you to conveniently settle the fee. You’ll have three days to make the payment, with multiple payment options available to ensure a smooth transaction. If payment is not made within the three-day period, a fine of Dhs150 will be imposed. So, for those who tend to procrastinate, make sure to keep an eye out for that SMS.

What Are the Parking Fees?

The good news is that the parking fees remain relatively unchanged, meaning you still get the four hours of free parking on weekdays that you’ve come to know and love. As long as you’re not spending a full day at the mall, or constantly forgetting where you parked, the fees should be minimal.

Here’s the breakdown of the fees if you exceed your four-hour free parking period:

  • 4 to 5 hours – Dhs20
  • 5 to 6 hours – Dhs40
  • 6 to 7 hours – Dhs60
  • 7 to 8 hours – Dhs100

While parking on weekdays is subject to the above fees, the weekend is still free for parking. So, if you plan on shopping or enjoying a meal during the weekend, you can still park without worrying about additional charges.

Is Weekend Parking Free?

Yes, you heard that right! Weekend parking remains free at Mall of the Emirates. Whether you’re out for a Saturday shopping spree or Sunday movie outing, parking remains free of charge on weekends. This is a huge win for those looking to enjoy a full day of activities at the mall without having to worry about additional parking costs.

What About Rental Cars?

For visitors who are driving rental cars, the new system also applies to you. When using a rental vehicle, rental car companies will typically include any parking fees in your rental bill. However, it’s always a good idea to check with your rental provider to make sure you fully understand how the payment process works for parking fees.
