Abu Dhabi Police has implemented a daily fee of Dh15 for its innovative smart vehicle impound service. This new system allows motorists to retain custody of their impounded vehicles at a location of their choosing, rather than at a traditional impound yard. To qualify for the service, a vehicle must have been involved in a traffic offence that warrants impoundment.
The owner or an authorized representative must visit the police station in person, present an Emirates ID, and sign a declaration acknowledging the service conditions. Once approved, a smart electronic device is installed in the vehicle to ensure it remains immobile at the designated location. If any service conditions are violated, the device immediately notifies the monitoring room, where the incident is recorded.
The service is applicable to both light and heavy vehicles, trucks, and buses, covering most traffic offences that require vehicle impoundment. Motorists can choose the specific vehicle and related traffic violations, pay the Dh15 fee, and then bring the vehicle to a customer service center to finalize the process. Police personnel will subsequently install the smart impound device.
