Drivers in Abu Dhabi can now pay for parking their cars through their mobile phones by simply sending a SMS to a service number just introduced by the Department of Transport, the semi official Alittihad daily reported Saturday.

Users of the Department’s pay-parking facilities should first register with its website (www.mawaqif.ae) before they can benefit from the new service.

Once they are registered, drivers can send a short SMS to the telephone number 3009 and pay for parking their vehicles through their credit cards.

“Drivers in Abu Dhabi can now benefit from this service which has been launched recently...those who register need not to go back to their cars in case they want to extend their stay,” Alittihad said.
