If you’re looking to hire a safe driver in Dubai, the first question is always the same: how much will it actually cost? Here’s a straightforward breakdown of what to expect. New here? Start with our full chauffeur service in Dubai guide.
On-Demand Single Trips
A standard one-way trip within Dubai typically starts from AED 80 on weekdays, with a slight increase on weekends and public holidays. This is the most popular option for after-party pickups and one-off needs.
Hourly Hire
If you need the driver for multiple stops – shopping, meetings, or running errands – hourly rates usually fall between AED 40 to AED 65 per hour, often with a 3-hour minimum booking.
Daily and Monthly Packages
For regular needs, a full-day driver generally runs AED 350 to AED 400, while monthly packages for regular commutes start around AED 4,500+ depending on hours and days per week. Monthly drivers are popular with families for school runs and with businesses for corporate travel.
Inter-Emirates Trips
Travelling from Dubai to another Emirate? Expect around AED 260 to Sharjah or Ajman, and around AED 380 to Abu Dhabi or Ras Al Khaimah.
What Affects the Final Price?
- Distance and route
- Time of day (late-night and weekend rates can be higher)
- Waiting time
- Number of stops
- Airport pickup or inter-Emirates travel
