Abu Dhabi: The Integrated Transport Centre (ITC) of the Department of Municipalities and Transport of Abu Dhabi has offered a new way for motorists to pay their digital parking fees by adding an option to make payments through the “Darb” smartphone app.
With the new functionality, the balance available in the Darb e-wallet can be used to pay parking, simplifying procedures and saving time and effort by offering drivers a convenient and flexible digital payment option for standard and premium surface parking spaces in Abu Dhabi without having to send a text message (SMS) as before, thus saving costs to customers.
The ITC highlighted that the new service takes only few seconds to make the payment using the “Pay for Parking” option on the “Darb” App.
Motorists are required to choose to vehicle and the category of parking space (standard or premium) and the required number of hours. Once the choices are confirmed, the payment can be done through the App.
The parking fees are directly deducted from the amount in the e-wallet designated for each vehicle on the Darb App.
The Authority expects the public to welcome the new service for its ease and speed compared to other modes of payment.
The new service now gives customers one integrated platform and a single e-wallet to pay toll gate and surface parking fees. This method also provides an accurate record of all charges deducted from each customer’s balance for the services obtained.
