If you park on a Kuala Lumpur street most working days, paying by the hour adds up fast. A DBKL monthly parking pass covers all your street parking in its zone for a month, and you can buy it in DBKL’s own app, EZ KL Smart Park, or in some other parking apps. Here’s what it costs, which zones it covers, where to buy it, and when it’s worth it.
How much is a DBKL monthly parking pass?
- Zone A pass: RM300 a month
- Zone B pass: RM140 a month
- Zone C pass: RM140 a month
When the pass was launched in 2020, a Zone A pass also covered Zones B and C, while a Zone B or C pass covered only Zones B and C. The app shows the areas each pass covers before you pay.
Prices as shown in the EZ KL Smart Park app, October 2026. At launch in 2020 the passes cost more: RM320 (Zone A) and RM160 (Zones B and C).
Is a monthly pass worth it?
Street parking is only charged Monday to Saturday, 7.30am to 6pm. A full day in a DBKL bay costs up to:
- Zone A: RM26.50 a day (RM1.50 for the first hour, then RM2.50 an hour)
- Zone B: RM11 a day (RM1 an hour)
- Zone C: RM8.80 a day (RM0.80 an hour)
So a Zone A pass pays for itself after about 12 full working days in a month, and a Zone B pass after about 13. If you only park in town a few days a week, or for a few hours at a time, paying by the hour is usually cheaper.
Which apps sell the DBKL monthly pass?
- EZ KL Smart Park - DBKL’s own app, and the original place to buy the pass. Also handles reserved and daily bay rentals (see below).
- Flexi Parking - sells DBKL monthly passes too, and is handy if you also park in Selangor councils, as the same account works there.
- Setel - lists the DBKL monthly rate in its parking section.
The pass price is set by DBKL, so it should be the same in every app - but check the zone and price on screen before you pay, and buy from one app only so you don’t pay twice.
How to buy the pass in EZ KL Smart Park
- Download EZ KL Smart Park (App Store, Google Play or Huawei AppGallery) and register with your car’s plate number.
- Top up your in-app balance by card, e-wallet or online banking.
- Choose Monthly Pass, pick the zone, and check the plate number carefully.
- Pay. The pass starts on the day you buy it and runs for a month (30 or 31 days).
The pass is tied to one car. It can’t be moved to a different plate number after you’ve paid, so double-check before you confirm. Set a reminder to renew it before it runs out - an expired pass means paying by the hour, or a fine.
Other ways to rent a DBKL bay
EZ KL Smart Park also lets you apply to rent a bay instead of using a pass:
- Petak Khas (reserved bay) - a bay set aside for you, rented for 6 months.
- Petak Harian (daily bay) - a bay rented by the day, for example for a renovation or an event.
You apply in the app, wait for approval, pay, and then download your offer or approval letter. The bay is ready to use once payment goes through.
