It is reported that the move is to set the parking fee at three riyals per hour. Currently, parking fees are charged in all major cities in Saudi Arabia, but are uniform in nature. Similarly, parking complexes are charged differently. There are many rates in many places. Some places charge three riyals without VAT. There are also private parking centers that charge up to five Riyals per hour. The move is to consolidate all these into a single rate across the country at public centers and private parking facilities.
