What traffic fines can I receive, and how do I pay them in Dubai?
Dubai has strict traffic laws, and most violations are recorded by automatic cameras.
Common reasons for fines:
- Speeding — AED 300 to 3,000 (the higher the speed, the higher the fine)
- Running a red light — AED 1,000 (vehicle may be impounded)
- Not wearing a seatbelt — AED 400
- Using a phone while driving — AED 800
- Parking violations — from AED 150
- Illegal U-turn or turn — AED 400
- Driving on the hard shoulder — up to AED 1,000
- Driving under the influence — AED 20,000 to 100,000, plus possible jail time, vehicle confiscation, and license suspension
- Transporting a child under 4 without a certified car seat or allowing a child under 10 (under 145 cm) to sit in the front — AED 400
How to pay fines?
All fines are reported to our team. We notify the renter and explain payment options:
- Through the Dubai Police website.
- Via the Dubai Police or RTA Dubai mobile apps.
- In some cases, fines can be paid when returning the car.
You can pay the fine yourself and send us confirmation, or we can pay it for you — a 10% service fee will be added to the total.
