Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a ride?
We recommend booking your transfer or hourly hire service at least 72 hours in advance. If you don’t have that much time, you can request an urgent transfer — we’ll let you know as soon as possible whether we can confirm it.
What pick-up time should I specify for the transfer?
If your transfer starts from an airport or railway station, please specify your flight or train arrival time as the start of your transfer. This helps the driver organize the meeting more accurately.
If your transfer starts from a hotel to an airport, please indicate the time you wish to be picked up at reception. You’ll need to calculate it yourself, allowing extra time for check-in. We recommend adding about 3 hours before your flight’s departure. For example, if your flight leaves at 14:00 and the trip takes 1 hour, your pick-up time should be 10:00.
How do I know if my order has been accepted?
After submitting your booking, you’ll receive an email with all trip details and your order status as “Waiting”. Once we receive and confirm your payment, the status will change to “Accepted”, and you’ll receive another email confirmation.
If you don’t receive the confirmation email, please contact our support team at office@welcome.taxi.
How do I change my booking?
To make changes to your booking, please contact our support team at office@welcome.taxi.
Important note: Requests for changes made less than 72 hours before your trip may be declined.
How can I cancel my booking?
You can cancel your booking in two ways:
- Via the booking page on our website — use the cancellation number provided in your booking voucher, at least 72 hours before the trip.
- By contacting our support team if it’s less than 72 hours before your ride.
Important note: In case of urgent cancellation, we may not be able to refund your deposit. The free cancellation period is stated in your confirmation email.
What should I do if my flight is delayed?
If your flight is delayed by less than 30 minutes, the driver will adjust their arrival time automatically.
If the delay is longer, please inform the driver directly (their phone number is in your confirmation voucher) or contact WelcomeTaxi Customer Support at office@welcome.taxi. Please include your order number and the new arrival time.
Important note: The driver may charge an additional fee for extended waiting time.
How will I find my driver?
For airport transfers, if you’ve added the meet-and-greet option to your order, the driver will meet you in the arrivals area — right after passport control and baggage claim. You’ll see a name sign with your first and last names (or custom text, if specified in your booking).
Important note: We strongly recommend adding the meet-and-greet option to your airport transfer booking.
For hotel pickups, the driver will wait for you in the hotel lobby. Detailed meeting instructions and your driver’s contact number are provided in your booking confirmation voucher.
How can I be sure that my driver will pick me up?
WelcomeTaxi guarantees that your driver will do their best to meet you on time.
Both you and the driver will have each other’s phone or WhatsApp number. Please keep your mobile phone switched on at the time of pickup. If you can’t reach the driver, contact our support team immediately.
I can’t find my driver. What should I do?
If you can’t find your driver, please double-check the name signs again — the driver may have missed you in the crowd.
Try calling or messaging the driver via WhatsApp. If there’s no response within the meeting time, contact our support team.
If necessary, go to the airport’s Information Desk to arrange a local taxi to your destination.
Important note: If the driver fails to meet you, we will refund your payment.
What Our Customers Say

Highly recommended taxi service
Private Transportation in Dubai and the United Arab Emirates
Dubai is one of the world’s leading destinations for tourism, international business, shopping, exhibitions, luxury hospitality, and major events. The city extends along the Arabian Gulf and includes numerous districts, resort areas, residential communities, commercial centres, beaches, marinas, and transport hubs.
Distances within Dubai can be considerable. Dubai International Airport, Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah, Jebel Ali, Dubai South, and the city’s outer residential districts are located in different parts of the emirate. A pre-booked private transfer provides direct transportation without requiring passengers to change vehicles or navigate public transport with luggage.
WelcomeTaxi provides private transfers and chauffeur service in Dubai for individual travellers, couples, families, corporate passengers, delegations, event guests, and larger groups. Transportation can be arranged from airports, hotels, private residences, cruise terminals, exhibition centres, offices, restaurants, marinas, and other accessible locations.
Airport Transfers from Dubai International Airport
Dubai International Airport (DXB) is the city’s principal passenger airport and one of the most important international aviation hubs in the world. It serves travellers staying throughout Dubai as well as passengers continuing to Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Abu Dhabi, and other destinations in the UAE.
A private transfer from Dubai International Airport provides direct transportation to the passenger’s hotel, apartment, villa, office, cruise terminal, or other confirmed destination. The vehicle is reserved specifically for the booking and is not shared with unrelated travellers.
Airport pickups can be arranged from all operating terminals. Passengers should provide their flight number, scheduled arrival time, destination, number of travellers, and luggage requirements when booking. A suitable sedan, minivan, van, minibus, or larger vehicle can then be selected.
Return transfers from Dubai to DXB are also available for early-morning departures, evening flights, family journeys, and business travel. Pickup time should account for traffic, the passenger’s location, terminal procedures, and the airline’s recommended check-in time.
Transfers from Al Maktoum International Airport
Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), also known as Dubai World Central, is located in Dubai South near Jebel Ali. The airport serves passenger, cargo, charter, and other aviation operations and may be used for selected scheduled or seasonal flights.
A private transfer from DWC is particularly convenient for passengers travelling to Dubai Marina, Jebel Ali, Palm Jumeirah, Expo City Dubai, Dubai South, or other parts of the city. Transportation can also be arranged to Abu Dhabi and destinations elsewhere in the UAE.
Because DXB and DWC are separate airports located in different parts of Dubai, passengers should check the IATA code shown on their ticket. Inter-airport transfers can be arranged between DXB and DWC, but sufficient time must be allowed for baggage collection, road travel, check-in, and security procedures.
Chauffeur Service in Dubai
Chauffeur service is suitable for travellers who require more flexibility than a single point-to-point transfer. A private vehicle and driver can be reserved for several hours, a full day, or a series of scheduled journeys.
Hourly chauffeur hire can be used for corporate meetings, conferences, exhibition visits, roadshows, shopping, restaurant reservations, property viewings, weddings, private events, and personalised sightseeing. It is also practical when the itinerary includes multiple hotels, offices, or attractions across different parts of Dubai.
English-speaking drivers make communication straightforward for international passengers. Pickup instructions, planned stops, waiting arrangements, and the final drop-off can be agreed in advance.
For complex schedules, passengers should provide a detailed itinerary with addresses and approximate times. This allows realistic travel planning and helps ensure that the vehicle is suitable for the full service.
Transfers to Downtown Dubai and Business Districts
Downtown Dubai is home to Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, luxury hotels, residential towers, restaurants, and major entertainment venues. Private transfers are available between Downtown Dubai, both airports, Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah, cruise terminals, and other areas.
Business Bay and the Dubai International Financial Centre are important corporate districts containing offices, hotels, conference facilities, and restaurants. Chauffeur service is especially useful for business travellers attending several appointments in these districts or continuing to exhibition venues and industrial areas.
Other major commercial areas include Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City, Jumeirah Lakes Towers, Dubai Silicon Oasis, and Dubai South. A private vehicle provides direct transportation according to the passenger’s schedule rather than a fixed public transport route.
Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah and Beach Resort Transfers
Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Beach Residence are popular areas for hotels, serviced apartments, beaches, restaurants, entertainment, and yacht activities. Palm Jumeirah contains luxury resorts, private residences, beach clubs, and major attractions.
Transfers can be arranged from DXB or DWC directly to hotels and residences in these districts. The exact property name is important because large resort complexes and residential developments may have several entrances.
Private transportation is also available to Madinat Jumeirah, Jumeirah, Bluewaters Island, Dubai Harbour, and other coastal destinations. Chauffeur hire can be used for restaurant visits, beach clubs, shopping trips, marina appointments, and evening entertainment.
Dubai Cruise Terminal and Port Transfers
Dubai is an important cruise destination with passenger terminals serving international itineraries in the Arabian Gulf. Cruise passengers may require transportation between the port, Dubai International Airport, Al Maktoum International Airport, a hotel, or another emirate.
A private cruise transfer is convenient for passengers travelling with several suitcases or following a fixed embarkation schedule. The ship name, cruise company, terminal, boarding time, and pickup instructions should be confirmed before travel.
Transportation can also be arranged after disembarkation. Passengers may travel directly to an airport, hotel, resort, shopping centre, or another city in the UAE.
Travellers with a long stop before their flight may book hourly chauffeur service for sightseeing, dining, or shopping while keeping their luggage in the vehicle, subject to the chosen vehicle’s capacity.
Exhibition and Event Transportation
Dubai hosts major exhibitions, trade shows, conferences, sporting events, and international meetings throughout the year. Venues include the Dubai World Trade Centre, Expo City Dubai, large hotels, conference centres, arenas, and event spaces across the emirate.
During major events, roads around venues can become busy and demand for transportation may increase. Pre-booked transfers allow exhibitors, delegates, and visitors to arrange travel between airports, hotels, exhibition centres, and business meetings in advance.
Vehicles can be organised for individual executives, small teams, or larger delegations. Chauffeur hire is particularly useful when the schedule includes several appointments, dinners, networking events, or visits to different venues.
Long-Distance Transfers from Dubai
Dubai is well connected by road with the other emirates. Private long-distance transfers provide direct transportation to hotels, offices, resorts, airports, cruise terminals, residential addresses, and tourist attractions across the UAE.
Abu Dhabi is one of the most frequent destinations from Dubai. Transfers can be arranged to Zayed International Airport, central Abu Dhabi, Yas Island, Saadiyat Island, exhibition venues, hotels, and government or business districts.
Sharjah and Ajman are located close to Dubai, although traffic between the emirates can be heavy during weekday commuting periods. Private transfers are also available to Ras Al Khaimah, including coastal resorts and mountain destinations.
Other possible journeys include Fujairah, Al Ain, Umm Al Quwain, and destinations along the eastern coast. Transfers can be booked as one-way journeys, round trips, hourly hire, or part of a multi-day itinerary.
Transfers Between Dubai and Abu Dhabi Airports
Travellers may arrive at one UAE airport and depart from another. Private intercity transfers can be arranged between Dubai and Zayed International Airport in Abu Dhabi, as well as between DXB, DWC, and airports in neighbouring emirates.
Passengers should allow sufficient time for the journey, possible traffic, baggage collection, terminal procedures, and airline check-in. Separate tickets and international connections may require a larger safety margin.
A private vehicle offers a direct airport-to-airport journey without the need to travel into a city centre or manage luggage on several forms of transport.
Why Pre-Book Instead of Taking a Regular Taxi?
Dubai has an extensive taxi network and several ride-hailing services. These options can be practical for spontaneous local journeys, but pre-booking offers additional certainty when airport timing, luggage capacity, vehicle type, or a complex itinerary is important.
A pre-booked transfer confirms the date, pickup time, destination, passenger count, luggage requirements, and vehicle category before travel. Passengers can request a larger vehicle instead of relying on the immediate availability of a van or minibus.
This is particularly useful for families, corporate groups, wedding parties, exhibition delegations, and passengers travelling with sports equipment or several suitcases. Child seats and other requirements can also be requested in advance.
The service remains private, with no unrelated passengers or scheduled hotel stops. For airport departures, cruise connections, business appointments, and intercity journeys, pre-booking provides greater control over timing.
Local Transportation and Useful Travel Information
Dubai has a modern public transport network that includes the metro, tram, buses, taxis, and marine services. The metro is useful for travel along several major corridors, but it does not provide door-to-door access to every hotel, residence, resort, or business district.
Travelling with luggage may involve long walks through stations, changes between transport services, and outdoor walking in high temperatures. Private transfers offer a more comfortable option for airport arrivals, families, elderly passengers, and travellers carrying substantial baggage.
Traffic conditions vary according to the district, time of day, major events, and road works. Congestion can occur on Sheikh Zayed Road, around airport approaches, near Downtown Dubai, and between Dubai and Sharjah.
Large hotels, residential communities, shopping centres, and office developments may have several entrances. Passengers should provide the full property name, tower, building number, and entrance instructions whenever possible.
Private Transfers for Business and Leisure Travel
Dubai welcomes leisure travellers, business executives, conference delegates, cruise passengers, investors, event guests, and families throughout the year. WelcomeTaxi can provide transportation for a single airport pickup, a return journey, several scheduled appointments, or a complete UAE itinerary.
Services are available between airports, hotels, villas, offices, exhibition centres, cruise terminals, marinas, shopping centres, restaurants, tourist attractions, and private addresses. Each booking is planned according to the route, schedule, passenger count, luggage, and required vehicle type.
By booking transportation in advance, passengers receive a direct private service with an English-speaking driver and a suitable vehicle. Whether you need an airport transfer, chauffeur service, cruise connection, event vehicle, or long-distance journey from Dubai, pre-booking provides greater comfort and control over your travel arrangements.
