Fast and Simple Salik Recharge Top Up in Dubai
Keep your Salik balance ready for every toll gate on Sheikh Zayed Road and beyond. Enter your tag or plate number, pick an amount and finish your Salik recharge in a couple of minutes.
The basics
What is Salik?
Salik is Dubai's electronic road toll collection system. The name means "open" or "clear" in Arabic, and that is exactly the idea: there are no booths and no barriers. Overhead gantries on major roads such as Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Maktoum Bridge, Al Garhoud Bridge and Al Mamzar read a small RFID sticker on your windscreen as you drive through at normal speed.
Every time you pass an active toll gate, the toll is deducted automatically from the prepaid balance linked to your Salik tag. If the balance runs out, crossings are still recorded, and unpaid trips can lead to fines once the grace period has passed. That is why a regular Salik recharge is the easiest way to keep driving in Dubai without surprises.
- One prepaid account is linked to each Salik tag and vehicle.
- Tolls are charged per gate crossing, with variable rates at peak times.
- The minimum Salik recharge top up is AED 50.

Questions
Salik top up FAQ
What is the minimum amount for a Salik recharge?
The minimum Salik recharge top up is AED 50. You can choose one of our preset amounts of AED 50, 100, 200 or 500, or enter any whole amount from AED 50 upwards on the top-up page.
Can I top up Salik without my tag number?
Yes. If you do not have your Salik tag number to hand, switch the form to plate mode and enter the emirate of registration, plate code and plate number of the vehicle linked to the Salik account.
How long does it take for my Salik balance to update?
A Salik top up is normally reflected within a few minutes. In rare cases it can take up to 24 hours, so we recommend recharging before your balance gets too low rather than right before a trip.
What happens if my Salik balance runs out?
Your crossings are still recorded. Salik gives you a short grace period to recharge; if the balance stays insufficient after that, a violation can be issued for each unpaid crossing. Recharging promptly avoids these fines.
Is Uikdlo the official Salik website?
No. Uikdlo is an independent informational service and is not affiliated with Salik Company PJSC or the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). We explain how Salik works and guide you through the recharge process.
