What is a SALIK in Dubai?

To make your journey easier, it’s important to understand the toll system in force, known as Salik. – What is Salik?
Salik is an electronic toll system designed to reduce traffic congestion in Dubai. The system is in place on some
of the city’s key roads and bridges. As a tenant, you benefit from the simplicity and efficiency of this service
during your stay.

– How does it work?

Salik tag: All our vehicles are fitted with a Salik tag, an electronic device that automatically detects your passage
through the toll gates.

Automatic deduction: When you pass through a Salik gate, the amount of the toll is automatically deducted from
the balance associated with our Salik account, without you having to stop or make a manual payment.
The standard rate for each passage is AED 5 (dirhams). Tolls apply mainly during peak hours, but are generally
free at night and during certain holiday periods.

No worries about top-ups

You don’t have to worry about topping up your Salik account, as this is handled by our company. We take care of
all the necessary steps, allowing you to fully enjoy your driving experience in Dubai.

The total amount of saliks for the duration of the rental will be deducted from your deposit.

What payment methods are accepted to rent a vehicle?

We accept a variety of payment methods to make your booking easier. For the majority of vehicles, you can pay
for your rental by credit or debit card of the main brands (Visa, Mastercard, etc.), and sometimes even in crypto
currency. However, for top-of-the-range or luxury vehicles, only a credit card may be accepted. This is due to the
higher deposit requirements associated with these models, which require an additional guarantee that only credit
cards can offer.

We advise you to check the payment options specific to each vehicle when you make your reservation to ensure
that you have the required means of payment.

From what age can I rent a vehicle from CARS FOR YOU?

The minimum age required to hire a vehicle depends on the type of car you wish to hire. As a general rule, for
most standard vehicles, the minimum age is 21, with at least one year’s driving experience. However, for more
upmarket vehicles, such as luxury cars or sports models, the minimum age may be set at 25 or over.
This is due to insurance requirements and vehicle specifications. We recommend that you check the age
requirements directly on the page for the vehicle you wish to hire, to ensure that you meet the criteria before
finalising your booking.
