April 2026 brings rise in fuel expenses across the Emirates, persuading Ajman’s decision to adjust taxi rates accordingly. Petrol along with diesel now cost notably more, shaping changes in transport pricing structures.
UAE Fuel Price Hike: Ajman Updates Taxi Rates
Transport department of Ajman adjusts taxi pricing as fuel costs rise across the UAE. With effect from April 2026, each km travelled by vehicle will cost Dh1.89. This marks a shift upward – 0.15 fils more than the previous charge seen in March. The earlier rate had stood at Dh1.74 per km.
Fuel Prices Rise Triggers Fare Adjustment
Following UAE fuel price increase, a response emerged which took effect from April. Rising operational costs, tied to higher fuel expenses during regional unrest, prompted authorities to act. Transport pricing shifted accordingly.
April 2026: New Petrol Prices
UAE fuel prices rise sharply in April:
- Super 98 petrol: Dh3.39 per litre (up from Dh2.59)
- Special 95 petrol: Dh3.28 per litre (up from Dh2.48)
- E-Plus 91 petrol: Dh3.20 per litre (up from Dh2.40)
Diesel Prices See Sharp Increase
Fuel adjustments in the UAE have pushed diesel rates upward to Dh4.69 per litre where just a month earlier it stood at Dh2.72. Transportation expenses may shift noticeably nationwide due to this steep increase.
Higher Fuel Costs Impact Daily Expenses
April’s fuel expenses rise sharply across the UAE, pressing harder on drivers’ budgets. A full tank now demands an extra Dh40 to Dh60 dirhams compared to last month, varying by car model and petrol grade.
UAE fuel prices rise due to regional influences
Geopolitical strains underpin the recent rise in UAE fuel costs, tied closely to instability within worldwide energy supplies. With shifts in oil availability persisting, ripple effects touch consumers alongside transport sectors throughout the region.
