Ajman Parking Guide
Ajman paid parking is mostly handled through SMS or apps now, so do not be surprised if you do not see an obvious parking machine nearby. In many busy streets, people simply pay from their phone and wait for the confirmation message.
The basic SMS method many drivers use is: AJM [Plate Code] [Plate Number], then send it to 5155. For example, an Ajman plate might look like AJM B 12345. Always wait for the confirmation SMS before walking away from the car.
Important:
AMJDrive is a car rental company, not a parking payment service. Please do not send vehicle plate numbers to our WhatsApp.
SMS To 5155
Open SMS, type AJM, your plate code, then your plate number, and send it to 5155. Keep the confirmation message.
Use Parking Apps
MPDA, AjmanOne, PrKn, and UAE Parking can help reduce mistakes, especially if you are not used to Ajman plate formats.
Check The Sign First
Before paying, look at the nearest parking sign. Some places have different rules, private parking, or special timing notes.
Rental Car Tip
If you are driving a rental, save the plate code and number in your notes so you do not retype it wrongly each time.
Service Areas
Ajman, Sharjah, Dubai and UAQ.
Ajman parking SMS is meant to be quick: type AJM [Plate Code] [Plate Number] and send it to 5155. Wait for the reply before leaving the car, because the confirmation is what tells you the session is active. If the SMS fails or you typed the plate wrong, fix it before you walk away.
The MPDA / Ajman Municipality parking app and AjmanOne are useful for official Ajman services. PrKn and UAE Parking are also handy because they help compose the parking SMS in the right format, which is useful when you are tired, in a hurry, or using a rental plate you do not know by heart.
Renew before the session expires, not after. Check zone signs instead of guessing from another street. Friday and holiday rules can change or vary by location, so verify current rules locally on the sign or official app. If you often mistype SMS messages, use an app to compose the message for you.
Visitors usually make two mistakes: they look too long for a machine, or they send the wrong plate details. With a rental car, take a quick photo of the plate or write the plate code and number in your phone. If you are parking near Ajman Corniche, souks, clinics, government offices, or busy food streets, pay as soon as you park and keep the confirmation SMS until you leave.
If you are visiting or staying in Ajman and need a car, see available cars on AMJDrive. A rental can make short trips easier, but parking still needs the same care: check the sign, pay by SMS or app, and renew before expiry.
