Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced its 82nd exclusive online auction featuring 300 premium vehicle number plates, scheduled to commence on February 9, 2026. The highly anticipated event will offer distinctive 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-digit combinations for private vehicles, classic cars, and motorcycles under multiple code series including H, I, K, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z.
Registration for prospective bidders opens on February 2, with the auction running for a limited seven-day period exclusively through digital platforms. Participation requires a Dubai traffic file and involves submitting a security cheque of Dh5,000 made payable to RTA alongside a non-refundable Dh120 registration fee. Registration can be completed either at designated Customer Happiness Centres in Umm Ramool, Al Barsha, and Deira, or digitally via the official RTA website (www.rta.ae) using credit card facilities.
Successful bidders must settle their payments within ten business days following the auction’s conclusion. Payment modalities include cash transactions for amounts up to Dh50,000, while higher valuations require manager’s cheques or credit card payments. All transactions will be subject to a standard 5% Value Added Tax (VAT) implementation.
The auction continues Dubai’s tradition of premium plate sales, which have previously generated record-breaking revenues, including the notable sale of plate ‘BB 88′ for Dh14 million in recent history. This event provides vehicle enthusiasts with opportunities to acquire distinctive identifiers that have become status symbols within the Emirates’ automotive culture.
