For a new registration, the user must have either a vehicle registered in Dubai or a driver’s license. To participate in the auction, it is necessary to provide to one of the special management departments in Umm Al Ramool, Bur Dubai, Deira or the Al Tawar Municipal Center the insurance amount by check, in accordance with the RTA order, in the amount of 5 thousand dirhams ($ US 1.36 thousand) .
Participants should also pay a fee of 120 dirhams ($ US 32.7).
The winner must deposit the appropriate amount within ten business days from the closing date of the auction in cash or by credit card. Failure to pay the required funds will lead to blacklisting of bidders, warns Sultan Al-Marzuki.
