How do Salik tolls work?

For your own car, obtain and activate a Salik tag, link it to the correct vehicle details and install it as instructed. Keep your prepaid account topped up, monitor crossing records and update your contact details so you receive account alerts. The official Salik app lets you manage vehicles, recharge and review trips.

For a rental or leased car, ask how the company bills tolls before collecting the vehicle. It will usually manage the Salik account and charge you for crossings, potentially with an administration fee under your agreement. Request the fee schedule and check your statement against your journeys.

Include tolls in your transport budget, especially if your daily route crosses several gates in each direction. Compare alternative routes using both travel time and total cost, rather than assuming a toll-free route is always cheaper overall.
