If you plan to park regularly in Sharjah for six months, a parking subscription can be more convenient than paying for individual parking sessions. A 6-month personal subscription for two selected areas costs AED 900, while the commercial subscription for two areas costs AED 1,100. This guide covers Sharjah parking subscription prices, payment methods, parking timings and important rules.
The official municipality currently confirms the AED 900 and AED 1,100 two-area prices.
Standard Sharjah public parking charges are AED 2 for 1 hour, AED 5 for 2 hours, AED 8 for 3 hours and AED 12 for 5 hours. SMS parking adds a 38 fils service charge to the parking fee. Some parking areas have different rules, so always check the signs before parking.
Sharjah Municipality provides personal and business parking subscriptions. You can choose a subscription covering two specific areas or all areas of Sharjah city, depending on the subscription type. There are also exceptional subscriptions for eligible categories such as retirees and university students.
Important: Don't call the exceptional subscription simply "for seniors and students." The municipality specifies eligible categories, so keep the wording broader.
Alright, let's break down how much these subscriptions actually cost. It depends on whether you want to park in just two areas or everywhere in Sharjah. Here's a quick look at the personal car parking subscription:
