Parkin Company PJSC, Dubai’s largest paid public parking provider, has formed a strategic partnership with CAFU, an on-demand fuel delivery and vehicle services platform.
The collaboration aims to provide fuel delivery and car wash services directly to vehicles parked at Parkin’s facilities.
Service integration launched
Starting August 14, Parkin customers can request fuel delivery or car wash services via a link sent through SMS or WhatsApp. Soon, these services will also be accessible through Parkin’s mobile app. CAFU users will continue to access the services through the CAFU app as usual. Both platforms are integrated to streamline scheduling and service delivery.
The partnership seeks to simplify vehicle care while reducing unnecessary trips to fuel stations and car wash locations. This approach supports efforts to lower traffic congestion and emissions. The car wash uses a pressurised system designed to reduce water consumption, aligning with the UAE’s Green Agenda 2030.
Financial outlook
The long-term agreement is expected to generate annual revenues between Dhs5 million and Dhs7 million for Parkin, with no capital investment required.
Eng. Mohamed Abdulla Al Ali, CEO of Parkin, said: “This unique partnership with CAFU marks a significant achievement in our mission to enhance the Parkin customer experience. By offering on-demand fuel delivery and car wash services, delivered directly to vehicles parked in our spaces, we are turning idle parking time into a moment of convenience.
“Expanding our portfolio of value-added services is a key pillar of our growth strategy and this collaboration reflects our commitment to delivering innovative, time-saving solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers. The agreement serves to underscore our ambition to transform Parkin into an integrated, customer focused, mobility platform, powered by digital innovation and meaningful partnerships. We are proud to join forces with CAFU, a homegrown technology leader, as we continue to shape the future of urban mobility in Dubai.”
Rashid Al Ghurair, Founder and CEO of CAFU, commented: “At CAFU, we have never just been about fuelling cars. Our mission is to reinvent what it means to own one. Smarter. Simpler. Seamless. Partnering with Parkin takes that mission straight to where our customers already are, in the very heart of the city’s parking network.
“Now, topping up your tank or getting your car washed to perfection is not another task on your to-do list; it happens while you are parked up at one of Parkin’s locations. This is not just convenience, this is a much-needed step towards transforming urban car care into an effortless part of everyday life.”
