Abu Dhabi Extends Darb Toll Hours, Scraps Fee Limits

Big change for Abu Dhabi drivers — the Darb toll system is getting a shake-up starting Monday, September 1. The Integrated Transport Centre (ITC) has announced longer evening toll hours and the end of daily and monthly fee caps.

Longer Evening Charges

Currently, drivers only get charged in the evening from 5pm to 7pm. From September, that window will stretch from 3pm to 7pm, Monday through Saturday. Morning hours stay the same. Sundays and official public holidays? Still free.

No More Caps

Say goodbye to the Dh16 daily cap and monthly limits. Instead, every pass through a gate will now cost Dh4 — no matter how many times you cross. That means more trips could mean a bigger bill.

Exemptions Still Apply

People of Determination, low-income families, senior citizens, and retirees will still get their toll exemptions.

Why the Change?

The ITC says the move aims to keep traffic flowing and ease congestion during peak hours. Darb, launched in 2021, runs eight toll gates on the main bridges in and out of Abu Dhabi.
