UAE number plate prices: auction sales and asking prices
By UAE Number Plate Value · Sources checked:
Our reviewed sample contains 9 recent standard auction results and 276 advertised listings. They answer different questions: what selected plates sold for, and what sellers are currently asking.
Can this sample show the average UAE plate price?
No. Published auction highlights favour rare, expensive plates, and Buy Now listings describe unsold stock. These are selected observations, not a random sample of all transfers. A national average or an emirate ranking would give a misleading impression of the wider market.
The tables below keep emirate, digit count and evidence type separate. A median is shown only where a group has at least five records. The minimum and maximum are the observed sample bounds, not a typical market range.
Price samples by emirate and digit count

Dubai's sample consists of selected results from RTA's 118th and 120th auctions in 2025. It describes distinctive two- and three-digit plates. It does not establish the price of an ordinary four- or five-digit Dubai plate. No recent ordinary-market Abu Dhabi records have passed our review yet.

The digit-count guides explain each sample separately, including groups with no eligible recent records. Count only the main number, leaving the code or category separate.

Reported completed auction sales
Each amount below is a published auction result. Prices are reproduced as reported; do not assume tax, buyer fees or transfer charges are included. Sales older than two years are kept out of calculator calibration.

Advertised asking prices
These 276 records were visible on Emirates Auction's public Buy Now pages on 2026-10-19. They are advertised prices, not completed sales or auction bids. The sample comes from one marketplace and may overrepresent memorable numbers.
The source pages show collections rather than individual plate permalinks, so each row preserves the plate identity, source page, lot ID and observation date. Availability and prices can change after observation.

Review rules and coverage limits
- Every included record has an explicit evidence type, date, source link and review status. Search snippets and a seller's listing alone cannot prove a completed sale.
- Charity auctions are kept separately in our historical plate records. They never anchor ordinary-market estimates.
- The calculator accepts asking observations up to 90 days old and standard completed sales up to 730 days old. It requires the same emirate, digit count and market class for matching and code/category comparisons.
- Only the latest asking observation for a plate counts. Unsupported legacy records, undated entries and placeholder prices are excluded.
- Asking-only support keeps confidence low. A profile with no matching eligible evidence receives a clearly labelled model-only estimate.

Frequently asked questions
What is the average price of a number plate in the UAE? +
We do not have a representative UAE-wide transaction dataset, so we do not publish a national average. The tables separate selected auction results from advertised prices and group each sample by emirate and digit count.
Are asking prices the same as sale prices? +
No. An asking price is an advertised amount observed on a particular date. It does not prove that a buyer paid that amount. Our records and calculator label asking prices separately from reported completed auction sales.
Do charity plate auctions affect these medians? +
No. Charity results are kept as historical records and excluded from the comparison tables and calculator calibration. The calculator also excludes asking observations older than 90 days and standard sales older than two years.
Why is there no Abu Dhabi sample median? +
We have not verified enough recent, traceable ordinary-market records for Abu Dhabi. Its historical charity record does not establish current market prices. Where matching evidence is unavailable, the checker labels its result as model-only.
