Steps

  1. Go to nairobiservices.go.ke and create an account or log in.
  2. Open Parking Licensing Services and pick what you are paying for: daily parking, a seasonal parking permit, or a parking fine.
  3. Pick the right zone. Zone I is the CBD, Westlands, Upperhill, Kilimani, Industrial Area, Eastleigh, Karen and similar areas; Zone II is other commercial centres and county markets. Then pay.
  4. If your car was clamped or towed, pay the clamping (and towing) charge. For help, go to the Car Park office, City Hall Ground Floor, Room 40.

Watch out

  • On-street parking in non-automated areas is free on Sundays and public holidays.
  • Never tamper with a clamp. Damaging one costs KSh 30,000.
  • The county does not take cash. Don't hand cash to anyone claiming to be a parking attendant; pay through the official channels.

Who can apply

  • Anyone who parks in a county parking space in Nairobi: private cars, taxis, PSVs, lorries, trucks, tuk-tuks and motorcycles.
