Official UAE & RTA Requirements

  • Every commercial chauffeur vehicle in Dubai must carry an active RTA Luxury Transport permit and commercial passenger liability insurance.
  • Reputable fleets send the chauffeur's name, direct WhatsApp number, and plate details at least 12 hours ahead of pickup.
  • DXB Terminal 1, 2 & 3 pickups include live flight tracking so delayed landings do not trigger extra waiting charges.

3 Costly Mistakes to Avoid

  • Unlicensed private 'car lift' drivers on social media: zero passenger insurance coverage and heavy RTA enforcement fines.
  • Quotes excluding Salik toll gates, airport parking tickets, or overtime hourly rates.
  • Third-party resellers adding 35–50% markup on top of direct Dubai fleet operators.
