Each time a vehicle passes through a Salik toll gate, the Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) technology scans the Salik tags, and a toll fee of Dh4
is deducted from the motorist's prepaid toll account.

Motorists can conveniently top up their Salik card accounts online or

recharge cards from any participating retail outlet. However, failure to
maintain an adequate account balance may lead to penalties or
limitations on vehicle use.

A Salik tag costs Dh100, which includes Dh50 in credit added to the

account upon activation. If purchased online, an additional Dh20 charge
applies.

Free Salik hours

Certain toll gates offer designated "free hours," providing drivers with relief

from toll charges during specific times. Below is a detailed report on Salik's
free hours and toll charges applicable to various roads.

Motorists driving down Al Maktoum Bridge enjoy toll-free journey on
Sundays. Furthermore, toll charges are waived for the rest of the days
between 10:00 pm and 6:00 am.

Commuters passing through the Al Mamzar North and South Salik toll

gates within one hour in the same direction will be charged only once.
