What is Aber?
‘Aber’, which means open or clear pass, is Ras Al Khaimah’s multi-lane free-flow electronic tolling system (MLFF). This means the ‘Aber’ toll gate operates without toll booths, queuing barriers or gates. The ‘Aber’ toll gate system is operated by Ras Al Khaimah’s Public Services Department (PSD).

The sticker will be tag affixed to the wind shield.

Do all vehicles need to pay for the Aber toll gate?
According to the ‘Aber’ toll-free number – 800 9898 – the ‘Aber’ toll gate system is only for trucks and heavy vehicles. The ‘Aber’ toll gate collects fees from trucks passing Ras Al Khaimah.
Owners of trucks and heavy-duty vehicles will need to register for an ‘Aber’ tag online through the official website – aber.rak.ae or the PSD main office.
For the Aber registration, the applicant must have their company’s details with them, such as licence number, email, and mobile number. The cost for issuing an ‘Aber’ tag is based on the number of axles a truck has. An axle is a rod that rotates the wheels and supports the car’s weight.
| Axle | Fee (AED) |
|---|---|
| 3 Axle | 650 |
| 2 Axle | 500 |
| 6 Wheels | 300 |
After completing the registration and paying for the tag, you will need to collect the ‘Aber’ tag from the PSD main office.
