Fuel prices for June 2020 have been announced by the Fuel Price Committee in the UAE. In a major development for motorists on a tight budget, fuel prices have been kept unchanged. Fuel prices have not changed since April 2020, which has made it easier for motorists on a tight budget to manage their fuel expense. In April, a major decline was observed in the prices of all types of fuel, after which fuel prices have remained unchanged.
Due to the Coronavirus travel restrictions, the roads in the UAE have mostly been deserted during the last three months. Only delivery vehicles and vehicles for essential purposes have been allowed to travel as part of the steps taken by authorities to contain the spread of COVID-19. On May 31, 2020, authorities announced new travel restrictions according to which motorists will not be able to travel between the Abu Dhabi City, Al-Ain and Al-Dhafrah.
This decision has been taken to enhance the effectiveness of the “National Screening Program” and it will remain valid for one week. While motorists will be able to benefit from the low fuel prices during the month of June, they must comply with the COVID-19 travel restrictions to prevent the spread of Coronavirus.

Reason Behind Low Fuel Prices in the UAE
The global consumption of fuel has decreased significantly because of COVID-19 travel restrictions. This is a major reason why the price of Brent (Global Benchmark for Crude Oil) has dropped drastically during the last few months and it has also impacted the fuel prices in the UAE. Fuel prices in the UAE were set to move with the market after the implementation of liberalization strategy in August 2015. Since then, the increase or decrease in global crude oil prices directly affects the fuel prices in the UAE. Fuel prices in the UAE have decreased significantly during 2020 as the global Crude oil prices have fallen aggressively.
Guidelines for Motorists During COVID-19 Travel Restrictions
The travel restrictions were relaxed significantly during the holy month of Ramadan, however, authorities have again announced stricter travel restrictions to avoid the spread of COVID-19. It is important for motorists to avoid traveling unnecessarily and follow the guidelines issued by authorities. Motorists have been allowed to travel only for essential purposes while ensuring all the safety measures such as wearing gloves and face masks. Authorities have announced several new traffic penalties for violating COVID-19 travel protocols. Motorists must follow the traffic rules and COVID-19 travel guidelines to avoid serious traffic penalties and to prevent the spread of Coronavirus.
