11/27/24, 2:16 PM Dubai Salik: Costs, locations and how to avoid fines | Time Out Dubai
Getting around the city can be a bit frantic at times with traffic chock-a-block during rush hour with cars
sitting nose-to-tail.

One solution that the city has come up with to fight congestion on busy city roads has been the
introduction of the automated Salik toll collection system.

When you drive through a gate, the smart system will automatically deduct the toll fee from your
account.

For newcomers to Dubai, or the more frugal amongst us, it can be a bit daunting knowing what to do
when it comes to the tolls.

And, with the rules updated earlier this year by Salik, there’s no better time for a refresher course in all
things Salik. We’ll explain where they are, how to get a tag and how to fight those pesky fines.

How do I get a Salik toll gate tag?

This one is crucial for all drivers in Dubai as without a valid Salik tag in your car you’ll face hefty fines
every time you pass through a gate after the initial 10-day grace period.

Thankfully, getting your hands on a tag couldn’t be easier. All you have to do is go to the website,
enter your details and pay a fee.
