As of 1 December, the Road and Transport Authority has increased the prices of their vehicular fees.
Here is what you need to know
The costs of registering and licensing a new vehicle have decreased. If you’re buying a new car, you will only pay Dhs 400, as opposed to the previous fee of Dhs 460.
However, if you’re buying a second-hand vehicle, you will have to pay a new charge of Dhs 350 for the change of ownership, this is in addition to the Dhs 400 for mandatory vehicle testing. The total will be Dhs 750 as opposed to the Dhs 460 that was charged prior.
