Hailing a cab vs. pre-booking a taxi at Dubai Airport


Dubai is going to have one of the largest networks of Metro in the world in next few years. Meanwhile, the most comfortable mode of transport for a tourist to get around the city, is to hire a taxi. Taxis in Dubai have a standard sign which shows their registration mark by RTA (Road and Transport Authority of Dubai) and this registration mark is apparently visible on the roof of every taxi in this mega city. Meter on dash board is used to charge for fare with respect of distance. If you are visiting Dubai first time, then you must be discreet to hail a taxi that do not have registration sign on roof as it can be ambiguous and dangerous at  the same time.

So what would be the quick fix, so one would not feel hesitant or uncertain to hire a taxi? The best one to pre-book a taxi whilst you are going around into Dubai. Just make a call, provide details of your destination and taxi will be at your door step, isn’t that simple?

What would happen in other case, you will face long queues, waste of time at trade of for low fare
charges, long arguments, traffic congestion, pollution, weather intensity and an unknown travelling
distance in an unfamiliar city and I have sheer belief that it can make your visit to Dubai worthless.

Dubai has many national and private own companies for taxis, you can easily book any one of them at your convenience. Hailing a taxi on road can be cheaper but not comfortable at all and if your trip is for long term, it would be an absolute bickering. Pre-booking of airport taxi Dubai is also available online, all you need to do, and an internet connection only and your desired service will arrived at your pre-informed destination.


There are fixed flat rates ‘available if you pre-book a taxi, for instance, from 6am to 10 pm, charges will be 7 AED and from 10pm to 6 am, charges will 6 AED which is comparatively low if you hailed a taxi on the road. Hence, it is highly recommended to pre-book a taxi in your travel to Dubai and enjoy an unforgettable experience by avoiding long queues associated with public transport and for a budget-friendly trip in this marvelous city.
