Costs in Dubai, computed from the rates the authorities publish — RTA taxi fares, Salik road tolls and the monthly fuel price. Deterministic arithmetic, no AI. Every rate carries the URL it came from and the date it was read (2026-10-02).
RTA sets a minimum fare on every trip before distance is added:
| Road pickup (street hail) | AED 12 |
| E-hail (app) | AED 13 |
| Sharjah crossing, added | AED 20 |
| Waiting | 50 fils |
Salik gate charges are added on top when your route passes a gate.
| Peak (06:00-10:00, 16:00-20:00) | AED 6.3 |
| Off-peak | AED 4.2 |
| Sunday, all day | AED 4.2 |
| 01:00-06:00 | no charge |
10 gates operate in Dubai. Charged crossings include 5% VAT.
UAE fuel prices for 2026-10, in AED per litre:
| Super 98 | 4.40 |
| Special 95 | 4.28 |
| E-Plus 91 | 4.21 |
| Diesel | 4.80 |
Two gates each way, twice a day, is the common case. Change the numbers to match yours.

An email address is all it takes, and no card. The free key keeps working month after month — it is 50 calls a month.
