The Integrated Transport Center (ITC) in Abu Dhabi has urged vehicle owners who were not registered in the Darb traffic toll system, to create an account and activate their account by Saturday, January 2, 2021, failing which they may have to face fines for using the toll gates in the Capital.

The procedures for creating accounts and registering vehicles are easy.


Here’s all you need to know before using the Darb toll gates:

> To register go to www.darb.itc.gov.ae or use the Darb app for smartphones,


> Registration fee per vehicle costs Dh100 per vehicle, of which Dh50 will be kept as a balance in the user’s account.

> The fees will be calculated through four gates located on the bridges leading to Abu Dhabi city –  Sheikh Zayed Bridge, Sheikh Khalifa Bridge, Al Maqtaa Bridge and Mussafah Bridge.

> Vehicles will be charged Dh4 for toll gate crossing the toll gate during peak times from Saturday to Thursday from 7-9 am and in the evening from 5-7 pm. The maximum ceiling for daily toll fees per vehicles is Dh16.

> No fees will be calculated outside peak times, Fridays and public holidays.

> Fees will be deducted automatically from the user’s account, which is prepaid through an electronic payment wallet.

> There will be no need to install a toll gate sticker on the vehicle’s windshield.

> A maximum ceiling for monthly fees on individual vehicles should not exceed Dh200 for the first vehicle, Dh150 will be charged for the second vehicle, and Dh100 for additional vehicles.

> Companies will have to pay regular tariff fees, but the higher ceiling for the daily usage or monthly fees is not applicable for them.

> Some residents like senior citizens, retired citizens, families with limited incomes, citizens, and people of determination need to apply for toll fee exemption.

> Fines will be calculated for each crossing after a vehicle passes a gate for second time.
