How hourly hire works

Bookings start from four hours within Dubai. Your chauffeur stays with the car between stops, keeps it cool and is a message away. Extra hours are charged at the rate on your quote — no surprises.

  • Meetings across DIFC, Business Bay and Media City
  • Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates and the souks
  • Evening out from Downtown to the Marina
  • Half-day city tour: Jumeirah Mosque, Al Fahidi and Madinat Jumeirah

Questions

About chauffeur by the hour.

Can hourly hire include a trip outside Dubai?

Hourly bookings within Dubai start from four hours. If your plans include Abu Dhabi, Sharjah or another emirate, tell us when booking; we quote it as an intercity day, so the distance, tolls and waiting are all included upfront.

Is waiting time included in hourly hire?

Yes. During an hourly booking the chauffeur is yours, so waiting between stops is part of the hours you book, not an extra charge. Parking and Salik tolls during the booking are included too, so the only variable is how long you keep the car.

Can I extend my booking on the day?

Usually, yes. Tell the chauffeur as early as you can. Extra hours are charged at the rate written on your quote, subject to the chauffeur and vehicle being free; if a late finish is likely, mention it when you book and we will plan for it.

Can I make lots of short stops across the city?

Yes, that is what hourly hire is for. Whether it is five shops, three meetings or a string of viewpoints, the chauffeur drops you at each entrance and waits nearby, so you never stand outside waiting for a ride.

Which vehicle is best for an evening out?

For two or three people, the executive sedan is discreet and easy to bring to a restaurant door. For a group of friends, the luxury SUV or the Mercedes V-Class keeps everyone together. For a celebration, the Rolls-Royce can be booked by the hour too.
