Motorists In Abu Dhabi Urged To Clear Toll Fines Before Vehicle Renewal

In a statement issued by the authorities, motorists in the emirate of Abu Dhabi are being urged to clear all road toll fines before transferring or renewing vehicle ownership.

The Integrated Transport Centre (ITC) of the Department of Municipalities and Transport, in coordination with Abu Dhabi Police, announced that vehicle owners in Abu Dhabi must clear all pending fines for vehicles registered in DARB, which prevents owners from completing any transaction related to the vehicle, such as transferring or renewing vehicle ownership.

The ITC pointed out that owners of vehicles registered in Abu Dhabi must pay the DARB Toll fees using one of the available channels, the website or DARB smart app. On the app, users can select the fee payment service or top-up the electronic wallet and activate the automatic payment feature. The latter option will deduct the fees from the account as needed.

The ITC has also invited registered vehicle owners from across the UAE to pay all vehicle-related traffic fines, like non-registration violations or insufficient balance using DARB smart app or the website. This is to enable the drivers to complete their vehicle ownership renewal process, ownership transfer, or any vehicle-related transaction.

The center also urged unregistered vehicle owners to avoid traffic fines by creating their DARB Toll Gate System accounts and register their vehicles that pass through DARB toll gates during peak hours.
