Salik Toll System Dubai

Salik, which means clear or open, is the name given to the new road toll system launched by the RTA (Roads and Transport Authority) in Dubai from July 2007.

Toll charge is 4 dhs each time your car passes a toll point on the Sheikh Zayed Road. There are two: one near Mall of the Emirates, and one on the Garhood / Garhoud Bridge.
Maximum charge per day per vehicle is 24 dhs.
Charges are deducted automatically from a Salik card attached to the windscreen of the car.
Vehicle owners need to open a Salik account and then obtain a separate Salik card for each vehicle they want in their Salik account. A copy of the car registration card is needed to open a Salik account. Cost is 100 dhs to subscribe.
Apply for a Salik card at branches of Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB), Emirates Bank, EPPCO / ENOC petrol stations. Cost is 50 dhs per card. Top up Salik cards there also.
Passing a toll point with insufficient funds in your Salik account will mean a fine of at least 50-100 dhs. There is a grace period if you top up or register within two days of driving through a Salik toll point.
SMS reminder message will be sent to mobile number (registered with Salik) when credit gets low.
Some vehicles eg school buses, ambulances, are exempt. Taxis have to pay though.
Visit www.salik.ae for more information about the Salik road toll from the RTA. Or telephone Salik on 800-SALIK (800-72545) in the UAE. Phone calls are toll-free, which is quite funny when you think about it.
