Top 10 Chauffeur Services in Dubai for Every Budget (October 2026)

Booking a chauffeur service in Dubai takes one WhatsApp message. Knowing what you’ll actually pay takes a lot longer. Some companies hide their rates behind a quote form. Others publish a price but leave out what it covers.

We did the comparison for you. In October 2026 we checked the websites of 42+ chauffeur companies and kept the 10 that show the most proof in public. That proof means prices, licence details, fleet size and reviews. We didn’t book rides with these companies, so everything below comes from what each one publishes.

The spread is wide. A driver for your own car costs as little as AED 40 an hour, and AED 5,500 covers a full month. Airport transfers in a car with a chauffeur start at about AED 180. At the top end you can hire a Rolls Royce with a driver for a wedding day.

At a glance:

  • Lowest price: Comfort Drive, from AED 40 an hour for a driver in your own car
  • Best all-rounder: Pilot & Car, with transfers from AED 180 and a fleet it puts at over 200 cars
  • Luxury pick: Skye VIP Limousine, with Rolls Royce and Maybach models

Compare the 10 Chauffeur Services by Price and Booking Type

Use this table to narrow the list before you read the details. Each entry price is the lowest rate the company publishes for Dubai. All information was checked in October 2026. Prices, review ratings, review counts, fleet details, policies and availability can change, so confirm the latest information with the company before booking.

Two things help when you read the table. A transfer is a single trip from one point to another, like the airport to your hotel. A full day usually means 10 hours with the car and chauffeur at your disposal. If a company says “quote only,” you’ll need to message them with your dates and route to get a price.

How We Picked and Ordered These Companies

We started with 42 companies that offer chauffeur service in Dubai. To make that first list, a company had to run chauffeur service as its main business or have a page dedicated to it. We then shortlisted 20 and went through their websites, price pages and public reviews in October 2026.

Five things decided who stayed and in what order.

  • Published prices. A rate you can see before you message anyone counted for more than “contact us.” We also checked what each price covers. Fuel, Salik and free waiting time vary more than you’d expect.
  • Licence details. Some companies print their trade licence number on their site. Others only say their drivers are RTA-licensed. A number you can check scored higher than a claim.
  • Size and track record. Fleet size and years in business show whether a company can handle a busy event week or a booking made at short notice.
  • Review evidence. A rating mattered more when we could also see how many reviews sat behind it.
  • Hourly to monthly range. A company that covers a single airport run and a full month of driving ranked above one that does only one of them.

The order shows how much each company proves in public. It isn’t a ranking of who suits you best. A family that wants a driver for its own car may be better off with number 4 than number 1.

Five shortlisted companies didn’t make the final 10. Most published no prices, or showed a price without saying what it bought.

A few limits are worth knowing. Some figures here come from the companies themselves, such as fleet sizes and review totals shown on their own sites. We flag those where they appear. We didn’t book rides or confirm licences with the RTA. No company paid to appear on this list.

The 10 Best Chauffeur Services in Dubai, From AED 40 an Hour to Rolls Royce

Each entry opens with quick facts, then covers what we found on the company’s own website. Prices are the lowest published rates for Dubai as of October 2026.

1. Pilot & Car

Quick facts:

  • Website: pilotandcar.ae
  • In business: Over 20 years (the site gives both 2000 and 2002)
  • Location: Al Goze Building, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai
  • Service area: All seven emirates
  • Best for: Mixed bookings where you want to see the price first
  • Fleet: Lexus ES350 and Toyota Highlander up to Mercedes S-Class, Cadillac Escalade and Rolls Royce
  • Starting price: AED 180 per transfer, AED 800 for a 10 hour day
  • Monthly hire: Corporate packages, price on request
  • Reviews: The site claims 600+ five-star Google reviews
  • Booking: Online, phone or WhatsApp on +971 50 785 2656

Most chauffeur sites in Dubai make you ask before they tell you the price. Pilot & Car does the reverse. Its homepage lists nine cars with a transfer rate and a 10 hour rate for each. A Toyota Highlander starts at AED 180 a trip. A Mercedes S-Class costs AED 2,000 for the full day.

Those rates include fuel, Salik and parking, plus 30 minutes of waiting. After that, waiting is charged at AED 2 a minute. That’s worth knowing if your meetings tend to run late.

The fleet suits mixed plans. One booking can be a Lexus for the airport. The next can be a GMC Yukon for a family day out or a Rolls Royce for a wedding. You can also ask for a driver who speaks Arabic, Urdu or Hindi as well as English.

There’s one catch. The published prices cover trips inside Dubai only. A run to Abu Dhabi or another emirate gets its own quote.

2. Ali Chauffeur Services Dubai

Quick facts:

  • Website: ali-chauffeur-service.ae
  • Location: Al Khabaisi Building, Deira, Dubai
  • Service area: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and wider UAE
  • Best for: Families that need an SUV or van without paying a deposit
  • Fleet: Lexus ES and Toyota Innova up to Mercedes S-Class, Cadillac Escalade, Maybach and Rolls Royce
  • Starting price: AED 225 per transfer, AED 700 for a full day
  • Monthly hire: Available, price on request
  • Reviews: Google 5.0 from 83 reviews shown on its site, plus Trustpilot 4.0
  • Booking: Online, phone or WhatsApp on +971 55 182 4428

Ali Chauffeur Services Dubai puts two useful checks in public view before you book. Its website prints DED licence 1296725 and says its chauffeurs are RTA-approved. It also states that its cars are 2025 models or newer.

Its published fleet runs from a Lexus ES and Toyota Innova to a Mercedes S-Class, Cadillac Escalade, Maybach and Rolls Royce. A Lexus ES starts at AED 225 for a transfer. The lowest full-day rate is AED 700 for either a Toyota Innova or Toyota Prado. The price includes the driver, fuel and Salik, and the company says no deposit is required.

The service goes beyond car-with-chauffeur bookings. Ali also offers safe drivers, school pick-up and drop, and monthly drivers for a client’s own car. Reviews shown on its site mention baby seats and longer Abu Dhabi bookings.

The main drawback is long-term price transparency. Monthly package rates are not published, so those bookings still require a quote.

3. UMC Dubai

Quick facts:

  • Website: umcdubai.ae
  • Legal name: UMC In Bound Tour Operator LLC
  • Service area: All seven emirates
  • Best for: Buyers who want clear airport, 5 hour and 10 hour rates before booking
  • Fleet: Lexus ES, Mercedes E-Class and S-Class, BMW 7 Series, GMC Yukon XL, Cadillac Escalade and Mercedes V-Class
  • Starting price: AED 350 per airport transfer
  • Full-day price: From AED 1,000 for 10 hours
  • Monthly hire: Available, price on request
  • Booking: Online, phone or WhatsApp on +971 58 649 7861

UMC Dubai publishes one of the clearest price tables in this list. Each main vehicle shows an airport transfer rate plus separate prices for 5 hours and 10 hours.

A Lexus ES costs AED 350 for an airport transfer, AED 700 for 5 hours and AED 1,000 for 10 hours. A Mercedes E-Class starts at AED 400 for the airport and AED 1,600 for 10 hours. Larger options include the GMC Yukon XL and Mercedes V-Class.

The listed rates include the chauffeur, fuel, Salik, parking, water and phone chargers. Airport bookings also include flight tracking and a name board.

Corporate accounts are another strong part of the service. UMC says accounts can be opened within 48 hours and billed through one monthly invoice.

One detail needs checking before you book. Its homepage says free cancellation applies 24 hours before a trip, while its price page says 48 hours.

4. Comfort Drive

Quick facts:

  • Website: comfortdrive.ae
  • Location: DNIC Building, Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Wasl, Dubai
  • Service type: Driver only. You provide the car
  • Best for: Nights out, school runs and people who need a regular driver for their own car
  • Starting price: AED 40 per hour with a 3 hour minimum
  • Full-day price: AED 300 for 10 hours
  • Monthly hire: AED 5,500
  • Airport trip: AED 100 one way
  • Booking: Phone or WhatsApp on +971 56 724 7946

Comfort Drive is different from most companies on this list because it does not supply a car. You book a driver to drive your own vehicle.

The rates are unusually easy to check. Hourly hire starts at AED 40 with a 3 hour minimum. A 10 hour booking costs AED 300. The monthly plan is AED 5,500. It also charges AED 80 for a weekday trip of up to 35 km, or AED 100 on Friday and Saturday.

One useful detail is the payment timing. Comfort Drive says customers pay after the trip rather than before it. It also allows free cancellation up to 30 minutes before pickup and includes 15 minutes of free waiting.

The service runs 24/7, and drivers usually arrive within 30 to 45 minutes.

The main limitation is clear. Comfort Drive never supplies the vehicle. Trips from Dubai to other emirates are also offered one way only.

5. Private Limousine LLC

Quick facts:

  • Website: prvtlimousine.com
  • Founded: 2006
  • Location: Al Qusais 2, Dubai
  • Service area: Dubai and wider UAE
  • Best for: Hotel guests, corporate bookings and larger groups
  • Fleet: Lexus ES, BMW 7 Series, Tesla Model 3 and Y, GMC Yukon, Cadillac Escalade, Mercedes V-Class and other people carriers
  • Starting price: Not published
  • Long-term hire: Available, price on request
  • Booking: Online or phone on +971 4 257 6111

Private Limousine LLC puts scale at the centre of its pitch. Its website says it operates more than 365 vehicles with over 650 chauffeurs and completed 530,532 trips in 2025.

The fleet covers business sedans, electric cars, SUVs and larger people carriers. That includes Lexus ES models, BMW 7 Series, Tesla Model Y, GMC Yukon, Cadillac Escalade and Mercedes V-Class.

Its airport service covers DXB, DWC and private terminals with flight tracking. The company also handles corporate travel, events, family bookings and long-term hire.

One useful detail is the partner list shown on its site. It names hotels such as Burj Al Arab and Armani Hotel Dubai, plus flydubai and several ride-hailing platforms.

The main weakness is price transparency. Private Limousine does not publish its rates, so even standard airport or hourly bookings require a quote first.

6. Blacklane

Quick facts:

  • Website: blacklane.com
  • Founded: 2011
  • Service area: Dubai, Abu Dhabi and other emirates
  • Best for: Airport pickups where waiting time and app booking matter
  • Fleet: Mercedes EQS and EQE sedans and SUVs, plus V-Class or similar vans
  • Starting price: Fixed price shown at booking
  • Monthly hire: Not listed on the Dubai page
  • Free airport waiting: 1 hour
  • Booking: Website, app, live chat or UAE phone line

A delayed flight can turn a cheap airport transfer into an expensive wait. Blacklane gives airport passengers one hour of free waiting, which is longer than its 15 minute allowance for other pre-booked rides.

Its Dubai fleet includes all-electric Mercedes EQS and EQE models, with V-Class or similar vehicles available for larger groups. The price is fixed when you book, and Blacklane says traffic does not add a surcharge later.

You can also request a child seat or a female chauffeur at no extra charge. Those requests need to be made at least one hour before pickup.

Blacklane has a large review base, but there is an important catch. Its Trustpilot score of 4.5 from 8,409 reviews is global rather than Dubai-specific.

It also does not list a monthly chauffeur option on its Dubai page, so it is better suited to individual trips than long-term driver hire.

7. Dubai Taxi Company

Quick facts:

  • Website: dubaitaxi.ae
  • Founded: 1994
  • Service area: Dubai, with limousine trips available to other emirates
  • Best for: Women who prefer a female chauffeur and customers who want an established local operator
  • Fleet: 387 limousines including Black DTC cars, Teslas and SUVs
  • Starting price: Limousine rates not published
  • Driver for your own car: AED 250 for 8 hours
  • Monthly hire: Available by contract
  • Booking: DTC app or call centre

Women who prefer a female chauffeur have a specific option here. Dubai Taxi Company runs Ameera Limousine, a service with female drivers for women passengers.

DTC also covers more than standard limousine trips. Its Business Limousine service operates 24/7, while hourly limousine bookings can travel from Dubai to any emirate. Customers who already own a car can use My Driver instead.

My Driver costs AED 250 for 8 hours. It is arranged for an agreed period and paid in advance by bank transfer. DTC says requests take 3 to 5 working days to process.

The company has a sizable limousine fleet. Its site lists 387 vehicles including Teslas, SUVs and Black DTC limousines.

The main limitation is booking speed for the driver-only option. My Driver is not designed for a same-day request, since setup can take several working days.

8. Foremost Drive

Quick facts:

  • Website: foremostdrive.ae
  • Location: Al Goze Building, Dubai
  • Service type: Driver only. You provide the car
  • Best for: Monthly personal driver plans and regular safe-driver bookings
  • Starting price: AED 60 to 70 per hour with a 3 hour minimum
  • Daily price: AED 350 for up to 10 hours
  • Monthly hire: AED 5,500
  • VIP chauffeur plan: AED 8,000 a month
  • Booking: Online or WhatsApp on +971 52 335 5475

Foremost Drive is one of the few companies here that publishes a monthly driver price. Its standard monthly plan costs AED 5,500 for 6 days a week and up to 10 hours a day. A VIP chauffeur plan is listed at AED 8,000 a month for longer 12 hour days.

The service is driver-only, so you supply the car. Foremost also offers hourly and daily bookings, safe drivers, corporate drivers, school runs and airport pickups. A 10 hour day costs AED 350.

Its site describes the drivers as RTA-certified. The corporate service page also says their visas, accommodation and health insurance are covered.

The main issue is price consistency. One Foremost page lists hourly hire at AED 60, while others show AED 70. Treat the hourly rate as AED 60 to 70 and confirm the current price before booking.

9. CCLimo

Quick facts:

  • Website: cclimo.ae
  • Founded: 2011
  • Location: Bay Square, Business Bay, Dubai
  • Service area: Dubai and Abu Dhabi
  • Best for: Corporate accounts that need monthly billing and dedicated chauffeurs
  • Fleet: Lexus ES, BMW 5 and 7 Series, Mercedes S-Class, GMC Yukon XL, BYD Han, Mercedes Viano, Sprinter and coaches
  • Starting price: Not published
  • Monthly option: Corporate accounts with monthly billing
  • Booking: Quote form, phone or WhatsApp on +971 56 422 3492

CCLimo is built around the kind of controls corporate travel teams usually need. Its business accounts can include monthly billing, cost-centre tagging, dedicated chauffeurs and a relationship manager.

The company also covers airport transfers at DXB, DWC and AUH with flight tracking. Other services include executive hire, events, hotel transfers and intercity trips.

Its site says the operation has more than 2,000 vehicles and a workforce of over 3,000. Those figures are self-reported. The client list shown online includes KPMG, Standard Chartered, Emirates Islamic, Waldorf Astoria and Rixos.

One interesting detail is that Blacklane appears among CCLimo’s listed clients. That suggests CCLimo may fulfil some rides for other chauffeur brands, but the site does not explain the arrangement.

The biggest drawback is pricing. CCLimo publishes no standard rates, so every booking needs a quote first.

10. Skye VIP Limousine

Quick facts

  • Website: skye-limo.com
  • Location: Jumeirah Lake Towers, Dubai
  • Best for: Weddings, VIP arrivals and high-end chauffeur bookings
  • Fleet: Rolls Royce Ghost and Cullinan, Mercedes Maybach and S580, BMW 740i, Cadillac Escalade and Mercedes V-Class
  • Starting price: Listed from AED 150, but the price unit is not stated
  • Rolls Royce: Listed from AED 4,500, unit not stated
  • Services: Airport transfers, half-day and full-day hire, weddings
  • Booking: Online, phone or WhatsApp on +971 50 772 0595

A wedding is one of the few trips where the car itself can be part of the event. Skye VIP Limousine leans heavily into that market with Rolls Royce, Mercedes Maybach and high-end Mercedes options.

Its fleet includes the Rolls Royce Ghost and Cullinan, Mercedes S580, BMW 740i, Cadillac Escalade and several vans. The company also advertises airport transfers plus half-day and full-day chauffeur bookings.

One unusual vehicle is its Mercedes Maybach Sprinter. Skye says it is the only company in Dubai offering this model with a chauffeur, though that claim comes from its own website.

The biggest issue is price clarity. Its site shows rates starting at AED 150 for a Lexus ES300 and AED 4,500 for a Rolls Royce, but it does not say whether those figures are per trip, half day or full day.

Get the exact rate and booking duration in writing before paying.

What a Chauffeur Costs in Dubai: Hourly, Full-Day and Monthly Rates

Chauffeur prices in Dubai depend first on what you are actually hiring. A driver for your own car can start at AED 40 an hour. A car with a chauffeur usually costs more because the price also covers the vehicle.

The cheapest chauffeur service Dubai option in this list is a driver-only booking. Comfort Drive charges AED 40 an hour with a 3 hour minimum. Foremost Drive lists AED 60 to 70 an hour, also with a 3 hour minimum.

If you need the car as well, published rates usually start with a transfer or a full-day package rather than a simple hourly rate.

Airport transfer prices

For a car with a chauffeur, Pilot & Car has the lowest clear transfer price in our data. Its Toyota Highlander starts at AED 180 for a trip inside Dubai.

Ali Chauffeur Services Dubai lists a Lexus ES transfer at AED 225. UMC Dubai charges AED 350 for a Lexus ES airport transfer.

That means a basic airport transfer DXB booking can vary by more than AED 100 depending on the company, vehicle and what the rate includes.

Driver-only airport service is cheaper if you already have a car. Comfort Drive charges AED 100 for a one-way airport trip or AED 150 for a round trip.

Hourly and full-day hire

Hourly chauffeur prices are easiest to compare in the driver-only category. Comfort Drive starts at AED 40 an hour. Foremost Drive publishes AED 60 to 70 an hour. Both require at least 3 hours.

For a car with a driver in Dubai, full-day prices are more common.

Ali has the lowest published 10 hour-style day rate in this group at AED 700 for either a Toyota Innova or Toyota Prado. Pilot & Car starts at AED 800 for a 10 hour day. UMC Dubai charges AED 1,000 for 10 hours in a Lexus ES.

Premium cars move the price up quickly. A Mercedes S-Class costs AED 2,000 for a full day with Pilot & Car, AED 2,399 with Ali and AED 2,400 with UMC.

Monthly chauffeur service

A monthly chauffeur service Dubai package can mean two different things.

The first is a monthly driver for your own car. Comfort Drive charges AED 5,500 a month. Foremost Drive also lists AED 5,500 for 6 days a week and up to 10 hours a day.

Dubai Taxi Company’s My Driver costs AED 250 for 8 hours. It can also be arranged for an agreed contract period, although DTC does not publish a monthly total.

The second option is a monthly car-and-chauffeur package. Pilot & Car, Ali and UMC all offer longer-term or corporate chauffeur arrangements, but none publishes a standard monthly price.

What the price usually includes

Do not assume two similar rates cover the same things.

Pilot & Car says its Dubai rates include the driver, fuel, Salik, parking and 30 minutes of waiting. Extra waiting costs AED 2 a minute.

Ali includes the driver, fuel and Salik. It also says no deposit is required.

UMC includes the chauffeur, fuel, Salik, parking, water and phone chargers.

Blacklane uses a different model. It shows a fixed price when you book and says traffic will not increase that rate.

Parking, waiting time and inter-emirate travel are the areas worth checking before you pay. A low headline price can stop looking cheap once those extras are added.

Car With a Chauffeur or a Driver for Your Own Car?

Dubai chauffeur services fall into two main groups.

The first is a car with a chauffeur. The company supplies both the vehicle and the driver. Pilot & Car, Ali Chauffeur Services Dubai, UMC Dubai, Private Limousine, Blacklane, CCLimo and Skye VIP Limousine all work this way.

This option makes more sense if you are arriving at the airport, need a larger vehicle for a family or want a premium car for a business meeting or wedding. The cost is higher because you are paying for the car as well as the chauffeur.

The second option is a driver for your own car. Comfort Drive and Foremost Drive focus on this model. Dubai Taxi Company also offers it through My Driver, while Ali includes a driver-only option alongside its chauffeur fleet.

This type of booking is usually cheaper. Comfort Drive starts at AED 40 an hour with a 3 hour minimum. Foremost Drive lists AED 60 to 70 an hour. Both also offer monthly driver hire.

A safe driver can also be useful after a night out. Instead of leaving your car behind, a driver takes you home in your own vehicle.

The main trade-off is simple. A driver-only service saves money if you already have a suitable car. A car-with-chauffeur booking gives you the vehicle too, which is better for airport arrivals, visitors and special events.

Check the service type before comparing prices. An AED 40 hourly driver is not comparable with a chauffeur rate that includes a Lexus, SUV or Mercedes.

Six Checks Before You Book a Chauffeur in Dubai

A low price does not tell you whether a chauffeur booking is actually good value. Before you pay, check these six things.

1. Check the licence information

Look for a trade licence number or a clear statement about RTA-approved drivers.

Ali Chauffeur Services Dubai prints DED licence 1296725 on its site and says its drivers are RTA-approved. Some other companies only make a general licensing claim.

A published number gives you something specific to check. It still does not mean Khaleej Desk has independently verified the licence with the authority.

2. Ask exactly what the quote includes

Fuel, Salik and parking are not handled the same way by every company.

Pilot & Car includes the driver, fuel, Salik and parking in its published Dubai rates. UMC includes those items plus water and phone chargers. Ali includes the driver, fuel and Salik.

If a quote looks cheaper, check whether parking or other extras will be added later.

3. Check the free waiting time

Waiting rules matter if you are booking an airport pickup or travelling between meetings.

Blacklane allows one hour of free waiting for airport pickups. Pilot & Car lists 30 minutes of waiting with its published rates, then charges AED 2 per minute. Comfort Drive includes 15 minutes of free waiting for its driver-only service.

Ask what happens after the free period ends.

4. Ask what happens if your flight is delayed

Do not assume airport waiting and flight delays are treated the same way.

Blacklane’s one-hour airport waiting period gives passengers some room for delays. Some companies also advertise flight tracking, including UMC and CCLimo.

Before booking an airport transfer DXB pickup, ask when the waiting clock starts and whether the chauffeur tracks your actual arrival time.

5. Read the cancellation window

Cancellation policies can vary even within one company’s own website.

Comfort Drive allows free cancellation up to 30 minutes before pickup. CCLimo says cancellation is free 24 hours or more before the trip.

UMC needs extra care. Its homepage says free cancellation applies 24 hours before a booking, while its price page says 48 hours. Confirm the current rule before paying.

6. Check the deposit and payment terms

Some chauffeur companies want payment before the trip. Others are more flexible.

Ali says no deposit is required. Comfort Drive says customers pay after the trip. Dubai Taxi Company’s My Driver service is paid in advance by bank transfer.

For a large booking, monthly plan or wedding chauffeur, ask for the full payment schedule in writing. That should include the deposit, remaining balance and cancellation terms.

Which Chauffeur Service Fits Your Trip

The right company depends more on the trip than its position in this list. A service that makes sense for an airport pickup may be a poor fit for a monthly commute.

For an airport arrival

Blacklane is worth looking at if flight delays are your main concern. It includes one hour of free waiting for airport pickups and lets you request a child seat in advance.

UMC Dubai and CCLimo also advertise flight tracking. UMC includes a name board with its airport service and publishes airport prices, starting at AED 350 for a Lexus ES.

Pilot & Car is cheaper on published transfer rates, with a Toyota Highlander starting at AED 180 inside Dubai.

For a full business day

UMC Dubai makes comparison easy because it publishes separate 5 hour and 10 hour rates.

A Lexus ES costs AED 700 for 5 hours and AED 1,000 for 10 hours. Its corporate accounts can also use monthly invoicing.

CCLimo is another option for companies that need account controls. Its corporate service includes cost-centre tagging, monthly billing and dedicated chauffeurs, but prices are not published.

For a wedding

Skye VIP Limousine has several vehicles that suit wedding and VIP bookings. Options include Rolls Royce Ghost and Cullinan, Mercedes Maybach and Mercedes S580.

Its site lists a Rolls Royce from AED 4,500, but the booking unit is not stated. Get the duration and total price in writing before paying.

Pilot & Car also lists Rolls Royce vehicles if you want to compare another supplier.

For a family with children

Ali Chauffeur Services Dubai has a broad mix of family-size vehicles. These include the Toyota Innova, Prado, Land Cruiser, Nissan Patrol, GMC Yukon XL and Mercedes V-Class.

Reviews shown on its site also mention baby seats on airport journeys.

Blacklane is clearer about the policy. It says child seats can be requested at no extra charge when booked at least one hour ahead.

If you want a female chauffeur

Dubai Taxi Company has a service built specifically around this need. Ameera Limousine uses female drivers and is available for women passengers.

Blacklane also says a female chauffeur can be requested at no extra charge. The request should be made at least one hour before the trip.

Availability can change, so make the request before you complete the booking.

For a monthly commute

If you already own the car, Comfort Drive and Foremost Drive both publish monthly driver rates of AED 5,500.

Foremost’s plan covers 6 days a week and up to 10 hours a day. Comfort Drive also offers weekly and monthly hire, plus school-run packages.

For a monthly car with chauffeur, Pilot & Car, Ali and UMC offer longer-term packages, but their monthly prices require a quote.

For a night out in your own car

A safe driver makes more sense than paying for another vehicle if you want someone to take you and your car home.

Comfort Drive starts at AED 40 an hour with a 3 hour minimum. It also offers point-to-point trips from AED 80 on weekdays.

Foremost Drive offers safe-driver and after-party services. Its hourly rate is listed differently across its own pages, so budget around AED 60 to 70 an hour and confirm the current rate before booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a chauffeur cheaper than a taxi in Dubai for a full day?

There is no single answer because taxi fares and chauffeur packages are priced differently.

For chauffeur services in this guide, published full-day rates start at AED 700 with Ali Chauffeur Services Dubai, AED 800 with Pilot & Car and AED 1,000 with UMC Dubai.

If you already have a car, Comfort Drive charges AED 300 for 10 hours of driver-only service.

Compare the total cost for your route and number of hours rather than assuming a chauffeur or taxi will always be cheaper.

Do Dubai chauffeur prices include Salik and parking?

It depends on the company.

Pilot & Car includes fuel, Salik and parking in its published Dubai rates. UMC Dubai also includes fuel, Salik and parking.

Ali includes the driver, fuel and Salik, but its published information does not say that parking is included.

Always check what the quote covers before you pay.

How long will a chauffeur wait if my flight into DXB is late?

The answer varies by company.

Blacklane includes one hour of free waiting for airport pickups. Pilot & Car includes 30 minutes of waiting with its published rates, then charges AED 2 per minute.

Comfort Drive includes 15 minutes of free waiting for its driver-only service.

For airport bookings, ask when the waiting period starts and whether the company tracks the flight.

Can I request a female chauffeur in Dubai?

Yes, with some companies.

Dubai Taxi Company runs Ameera Limousine with female drivers for women passengers.

Blacklane also says female chauffeurs can be requested at no extra charge when booked at least one hour ahead.

Availability is not guaranteed, so request it before confirming the booking.

Is a limousine service the same as a chauffeur service in Dubai?

They overlap heavily.

In Dubai, companies often use “limousine” for licensed private-hire cars with professional drivers. In practice, many limousine companies offer the same airport transfer, hourly hire and corporate chauffeur services that appear in this guide.

The key thing to check is what you are actually booking: a car with a driver or only a driver for your own car.

Can I book a chauffeur for a one-way trip to Abu Dhabi?

Yes.

Comfort Drive lists AED 350 for a one-way trip from Dubai to Abu Dhabi in your own car.

Car-with-chauffeur companies such as Pilot & Car and UMC also handle inter-emirate trips, but the final price may need a separate quote.

Do I have to pay a deposit to book a chauffeur?

Not with every company.

Ali Chauffeur Services Dubai says no deposit is required. Comfort Drive says customers pay after the trip.

Dubai Taxi Company’s My Driver works differently. That service is paid in advance by bank transfer.

For weddings, monthly plans or larger bookings, ask for the deposit and cancellation terms in writing.

Can I keep the same chauffeur for a whole month?

Yes, some companies offer monthly or long-term driver arrangements.

Comfort Drive and Foremost Drive both publish monthly driver plans at AED 5,500.

UMC Dubai also offers monthly chauffeur service, while Ali offers monthly packages and a driver for your own car. Ali’s reviews shown on its site include one case where a driver was kept for more than a month during a relocation.

If keeping the same person matters, confirm that point before you sign up.

Our Pick for Each Budget

There is no single cheapest option for every trip. A driver for your own car and a chauffeur-driven vehicle are two different products, so it makes more sense to split the choices by budget and booking type.

Lowest-cost option: Comfort Drive

If you already have a car, Comfort Drive has the lowest published rate in this list.

It starts at AED 40 an hour with a 3 hour minimum. A 10 hour booking costs AED 300, while the monthly driver plan is AED 5,500.

The trade-off is simple. Comfort Drive supplies the driver only. You need to provide the vehicle.

Budget car with chauffeur: Pilot & Car

Pilot & Car is one option to compare when you want the car included and want to see published rates before booking.

Its Toyota Highlander starts at AED 180 per transfer. A 10 hour day starts at AED 800. Those Dubai rates include the driver, fuel, Salik, parking and 30 minutes of waiting.

The published prices only cover Dubai. Inter-emirate trips require a separate quote.

Mid-range pick: UMC Dubai

UMC Dubai suits buyers who want more detail before they pay.

A Lexus ES costs AED 350 for an airport transfer, AED 700 for 5 hours and AED 1,000 for 10 hours. The price includes the chauffeur, fuel, Salik, parking, water and chargers.

UMC is also useful for business bookings because corporate accounts can use monthly invoicing.

Luxury pick: Skye VIP Limousine

For a wedding or VIP arrival, Skye VIP Limousine focuses heavily on luxury vehicles, including Rolls Royce and Mercedes Maybach models.

Its options include Rolls Royce Ghost and Cullinan, Mercedes Maybach, Mercedes S580 and Cadillac Escalade.

There is one important limitation. Skye lists prices from AED 150 for a Lexus ES300 and AED 4,500 for a Rolls Royce, but its site does not state what booking duration those prices cover. Get the final price and duration in writing before booking.

The best chauffeur service Dubai option ultimately depends on whether you need the car, how long you need it and what the quoted rate includes.
