ITC Highlights Importance Of Licensed Valet Parking Services In Abu Dhabi For Safety And Compliance

The Integrated Transport Centre (ITC), linked to the Department of Municipalities and Transport, has announced that all valet parking service providers in Abu Dhabi must secure official licences from the ITC before starting operations. Offering these services without a licence or misusing an existing one is against the law and will lead to legal consequences.

To ensure adherence to regulations, ITC's inspection teams conduct regular checks at service locations. This helps maintain a safe and organised environment, reflecting Abu Dhabi’s high quality of life standards. The ITC encourages hotels, shopping centres, and other service providers to verify their permits' validity according to approved requirements.

The ITC highlighted the importance of choosing licensed valet parking providers for public safety and vehicle protection. It reassures that any reports of illegal practices or violations related to valet parking will be addressed through official communication channels. This initiative is part of the ITC's ongoing efforts to enhance oversight and regulate service provision.

In its commitment to improving service quality, the ITC aims to reinforce adherence to legislation while ensuring a safe and integrated mobility system. This approach supports smoother traffic flow and contributes significantly to enhancing the overall quality of life in Abu Dhabi.

The ITC urges relevant entities like hotels and shopping centres to review their legal standing concerning valet parking services. Ensuring compliance with approved requirements is crucial for maintaining a civilised image of the Emirate. The Centre's directive aligns with its mission to uphold service standards across Abu Dhabi.

This directive forms part of the ITC’s continued efforts to improve service quality, reinforce adherence to legislation, and ensure a safe, integrated mobility system that supports smoother traffic flow and contributes to enhancing overall quality of life.
