By removing physical barriers such as toll collectors and toll booths, this state-of-the-art system enables you to travel at normal highway speeds without stopping anywhere. Every time you pass through a Salik gate, a toll of AED 4 is automatically deducted from your prepaid account. The experts at CarSwitch have prepared this guide to make it easy for you to navigate the process of buying, charging and using the Salik tag.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>How to buy a new Salik tag<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: You can buy a Salik tag for AED 100, out of which AED 50 is added to your Salik account. You can purchase your Salik tags conveniently from RTA Customer Service Centers, selected branches of gas stations including Emarat, EPPCO\/ ENOC or ADNOC, and Dubai Islamic Bank or Emirates NBD Bank. You can even purchase your Salik tag online. After purchasing the tag, register it on the Salik system using the correct information.\n<p> <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Salik gate locations<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: In total, there are six Salik gates in Dubai:<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Al-Garhoud Gate: E11, before Garhoud Bridge<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Al Maktoum Gate: Before Al Maktoum bridge<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Al Safa Gate: E11, near Business bay<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mamzar Gate: E11, near Mamzar beach<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Al Barsha Gate: E11, near Mall of the Emirates<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Airport Tunnel Gate: On the north side of the airport tunnel\n<p> <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Fixing a Salik tag<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The Salik tag should be installed on your windscreen or rear-view mirror. Before you peel the cover of your tag to paste it, make sure the glass is clean. Once it\u2019s installed, it won\u2019t come off without getting damaged, so your first attempt needs to be flawless.\n<p> <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Recharge your tag on the go: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can recharge your Salik account electronically or using a recharge voucher. Vouchers can be easily purchased from petrol stations. Other options to recharge include using the mobile phone app and visiting the Salik website to pay online.\n<p> <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Deactivate the tag before selling the vehicle: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case you decide to <a href=\"https:\/\/carswitch.com\/dubai\/used-car\/sell\">sell your car in Dubai, UAE<\/a>, make sure you remove the tag and deactivate it through your Salik account immediately. If you don\u2019t do so, money will be deducted from your account whenever the buyer takes the car through a Salik gate.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Learn the <a href=\"http:\/\/65.1.85.58\/newsroom\/toll-gates-dubai\/\">new Salik costs, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Salik is Dubai\u2019s automated free-flowing toll system adopted to streamline traffic flow.
