Sharjah has announced a new decision revising the fees for the release of impounded vehicles. This decision applies to all vehicle types and their owners or drivers, focusing on cases where vehicles were impounded for serious offences.
These offences, including reckless driving and negligence, pose significant risks to the safety of people and property. Once the legal impoundment period has expired, the decision aims to facilitate the return of these vehicles.
The revised fees are designed to enhance road safety and deter dangerous driving behaviours. For offenses like riding motorcycles in restricted areas, the vehicle owner will need to pay a fee of Dh20,000 to have the vehicle released after impoundment. Similarly, for driving without a license, the release fee after impoundment will be Dh30,000. For a complete list of the revised fees, refer to the link here .
