Abu Dhabi announces changes to DARB toll timings and limits

The Integrated Transport Centre has announced tariff and limit amendments coming into effect starting September 1, where tariff hours will be extended from 3 PM to 7 PM, and charge limits on private vehicles will be removed in Abu Dhabi.

The evening period will be revised to run from 3 PM to 7 PM instead of 5 PM to 7 PM previously , while the morning period will remain unchanged, from 7 AM to 9 AM, Monday through Saturday.

Tariffs will continue to be free of charge on Sundays and official public holidays.

The new amendments also remove the current daily and monthly toll caps for private vehicles. There will no longer be a maximum limit on the toll charges collected per vehicle each day, previously AED 16 daily.

The limit was also removed for monthly charges, which had been AED 200 for the first vehicle, AED 150 for the second, and AED 100 for the third and any additional vehicles. 

A  fee of AED 4 will continue to be applied each time a vehicle passes through a toll gate in the emirate.

The existing exemption policy will also continue for eligible groups, including People of Determination, low-income families, senior citizens, and retirees.
