Car owners in Abu Dhabi can now register their vehicles ahead of the emirate’s toll system, which will come into effect on October 15, 2019.

The Department of Transport – Abu Dhabi (DoT) and the Integrated Transport Centre (ITC) today said registration can be processed via the DoT website or any Abu Dhabi Government Services Centres (Tamm).

Four toll gates have been installed in Abu Dhabi’s major bridges – Sheikh Zayed Bridge, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Bridge, Al Maqtaa Bridge and Mussafah Bridge – in a move set to reduce traffic congestion and raise the efficiency of the local transport sector.

The next phase of the registration process will involve company vehicles and fleets, which will be announced in the near future.

The toll system registration is obligatory for anyone who wishes to use roads leading to the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. Registration can be completed through the DoT website,
https://dot.gov.abudhabi, using the Emirates ID.

All vehicles registered in the emirate before October 15, 2019, will be automatically registered free of charge. Users will receive a text message on the mobile number registered with Abu Dhabi Police, along with the account details. Vehicles registered after October 15, 2019, will be subjected to a Dh100 registration fee.

Users of cars registered in other emirates can also log into their accounts on the website and register for the toll system subject to a registration fee of Dh100 per vehicle (Dh50 as registration fee and Dh50 to be credited to the account) before crossing the toll gates.

Non-registered vehicles crossing toll gates will be granted a ten-day grace period to register after which a Dh100 fine will be issued daily, reaching a maximum of Dh10,000.

Toll charges will be Dh4 for peak hours per pass from Saturday to Thursday (7am – 9am and 5pm – 7pm). During off-peak hours, on Fridays, and during public holidays, the toll fee will be Dh2 for each pass. The toll collection system will be operational 24/7 and will charge a daily maximum fee of Dh16 per vehicle.
