Yes. The King Fahd Causeway Authority runs subscription packages that halve the toll for some travellers:
- Disability package: 50% off the toll and a dedicated lane. You need your national ID number, a recent photo and proof of disability from the relevant authority, and the subscription card needs a minimum top-up of 25 SAR.
- Student package: 50% off and a student lane, but only for Saudi students studying in Bahrain or Bahraini students studying in Saudi Arabia. Bring your national ID number, a recent photo and an enrolment certificate from your college showing the term's start and end dates.
- Martyrs' family package: 50% off and a dedicated lane for martyrs' family members under 18, with official documents.
- Frequent traveller package: offered too; the Authority asks you to contact its Customer Experience Center for the terms.
The student discount is not for expat students: it is limited to Saudi and Bahraini students studying in the other country. Packages are tied to a national ID number.
The Authority's customer service number is 800 4000 999 (a Saudi toll-free line).
Steps
- Check that you fit one of the packages (disability, Saudi/Bahraini student, martyr's family, or frequent traveller).
- Gather your national ID number, a recent photo and the proof the package asks for.
- Apply through the King Fahd Causeway Authority's Customer Experience Center.
- For the disability package, top up the subscription card with at least 25 SAR.
