Dubai’s RTA Collects AED69 Million in Record-Breaking License Plate Auction
In a significant boost to Dubai’s vehicle licensing sector, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has generated an impressive AED69.137 million through its latest auction of premium vehicle license plates. This open auction, the 116th of its kind, featured 90 exclusive plates ranging from two to five digits, representing letters such as AA, L, N, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z.
The star of the auction was plate number AA17, which attracted the highest bid of AED8.02 million. Among the other top-selling plates, Y1000 was sold for AED4.55 million, V96 fetched AED4.1 million, and AA333 went for AED3.01 million.
These auctions are part of RTA’s well-structured approach to offering premium plates to the public, with an emphasis on neutrality, transparency, and equal opportunity for all participants. The plates often hold deep significance for buyers, symbolizing personal milestones, affiliations, or ambitions, which drives their popularity in these high-stakes auctions.
RTA continues to meet the demand for unique identifiers through both public and electronic auctions, offering a wide range of options to Dubai’s vehicle owners.
