Lifespan calculation:

The lifespan (number of years) calculation is based on the vehicle’s brand, type, year of manufacture and activity.

• Transport Passengers in Luxury Vehicles:
  • The luxury vehicle’s lifespan is based on the vehicle’s year of manufacture and engine type (electrical):
    • (5 years + year of manufacture) for standard vehicles
    • (7 years + year of manufacture) for luxury vehicles
    • (7 years + year of manufacture) for electric vehicles
    • (10 years + year of manufacture) for extended vehicles
• Transport Passengers in Taxi Vehicles in Dubai:
  • A taxi vehicle’s lifespan is 4 years starting the date of its first registration.

Application of fines incurred by delayed vehicle replacement:

The fine is calculated based on activity as follows:

• Transport Passengers in Taxi Vehicles: 1,000 AED per month for each vehicle. A fine of 33.333 AED per day applies once the lifespan is exceeded, based on the date of registering the vehicle.
• Transport Passengers in Luxury Vehicles: 100 AED per day and for 30 days only (a maximum of 3000 AED per fined vehicle). The fine application starts after its lifespan ends and on the first day the vehicle exceeds the expiry date of the vehicle's licence.

The fine application ends in the following cases:

• Transport Passengers in Luxury Vehicles
  • The franchise contract with RTA expires.
  • The fine reaches the maximum value (3000 AED per fined vehicle).
  • The vehicle is removed from the traffic file
• Transport Passengers in Taxi Vehicles:
  • The vehicle is removed from the traffic file.

General Terms and Conditions:

• The period between the end of the lifespan and the expiry date of the luxury transport vehicle licence for the activity of transporting passengers in luxury vehicles is considered to be a grace period allowing the company to rectify the situation and remove the vehicle from the traffic file.
• The vehicle that exceeds its lifespan and the expiry date of the licence must be deleted from the traffic file to stop the automatic calculation of the fines incurred by delayed replacement.
• Paying the fine without removing the vehicle from the traffic file doesn’t stop the automatic calculation of the fine.
• When a vehicle has an accident, is damaged or stolen, the applied measures must be taken according to the Vehicle Licensing Department processes and requirements, in order to stop the automatic calculation of the fines incurred by delayed replacement.
• The fine incurred by delayed replacement is collected after the completion of the traffic file transactions (vehicle licensing transactions, except the licence renewal of the vehicle exceeding lifespan years, and commercial licensing transactions, except the trade licence renewal).
• The electronic contract to operate the Luxury Transport Sector vehicles cannot be renewed if there were vehicles that exceed the replacement deadline.
