Work out an Ajman taxi fare
Note: Educational estimate for planning. Confirm final amounts on official channels.
Why Ajman fares are quoted differently everywhere
Ajman is one of the two emirates that re-price taxis every month against the fuel price — Sharjah is the other. A guide written in April and a guide written in October will give different per-kilometre rates, and both can have been right when published. That is why this page asks you for the rate rather than printing one.
The most recent figure published was Dh1.93 a kilometre, announced for August 2026. If you are reading this later than that, the number in the box above is a starting point and not today’s tariff. The meter card inside the vehicle is authoritative.
What a typical Ajman trip costs
At Dh1.93 a kilometre with a AED 3.00 start, the arithmetic runs:
| Distance | Fare |
|---|---|
| 5 km | AED 12.65 |
| 10 km | AED 22.30 |
| 15 km | AED 31.95 |
| 20 km | AED 41.60 |
| 30 km | AED 60.90 |
Those assume no waiting time. In practice an Ajman–Sharjah or Ajman–Dubai run will spend time stationary on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, and the waiting charge is what turns a predictable fare into an unpredictable one.
Getting between Ajman and Dubai
A taxi picked up in Ajman runs on Ajman’s meter for the whole trip, and one picked up in Dubai runs on Dubai’s — which is the more expensive of the two per kilometre. The direction you travel changes the fare on an identical road, which is the same thing that makes Dubai–Abu Dhabi fares look inconsistent between sources.
For the Dubai leg, the Dubai taxi calculator handles Salik gates and the night tariff, neither of which applies on the Ajman side.
How to use this calculator
- Read the per-kilometre rate from the meter card in the taxi, or from the month’s published tariff.
- Type that rate into the rate per kilometre box, replacing the dated default.
- Enter the distance of your trip in kilometres.
- Add the minutes you expect to spend stationary in traffic, if any.
- Press Calculate. The minimum fare is applied automatically on short trips.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Ajman taxi rate per km?
Ajman resets it monthly with fuel prices. The most recently published figure was AED 1.93 a kilometre, announced for August 2026. Because it changes at the start of each month, the current rate is the one on the meter card in the vehicle.
What is the minimum taxi fare in Ajman?
Around AED 12.50. Mahrah taxis are often slightly lower. The minimum is charged whenever the metered fare would come to less, so a two-kilometre hop and a four-kilometre one can cost the same.
Is a taxi from Ajman to Dubai cheaper than from Dubai to Ajman?
Usually yes. A taxi picked up in Ajman charges Ajman’s per-kilometre rate for the whole journey, and Ajman’s rate is lower than Dubai’s. The same road costs more in the other direction, and the Dubai leg also crosses Salik gates.
Why does every website give a different Ajman taxi fare?
Because the tariff genuinely changes every month with the fuel price. A page quoting a single fixed rate is quoting the month it was written. This calculator takes the rate as an input for that reason.
Where these figures come from
Per-kilometre rate: AED 1.93 as announced for August 2026 and reported by Khaleej Times. Ajman reviews the tariff monthly against fuel prices, and the Ajman Transport Authority does not publish a standing tariff page, so no later figure was available when this page was written. Minimum fare of about AED 12.50 is reported by third-party guides rather than transcribed from an official schedule, and no official flag fall is published — both are editable above for that reason. Last checked 10 November 2026. The meter in the vehicle is what you pay. Not affiliated with the Ajman Transport Authority.
