The Service
What "private taxi" means with RIDDE
Search for a private taxi in Dubai and what you actually want is simple: a private ride — a car that's yours for the trip, a professional at the wheel, and a price that doesn't move. That is exactly what RIDDE is — a licensed chauffeur service that works the way you expect a great taxi to: book, ride, done.
No meter ticking in traffic, no surge when it rains, no guessing at the kerb. Your fare is confirmed at booking, the car is a premium saloon, and the driver is vetted, English-speaking and on time.
The Difference
Is it a regular taxi? No — and that's the point
A regular Dubai taxi is hailed on the street or from a rank, runs on a meter and sends whichever car is next. A private taxi from RIDDE is reserved for you: the car is confirmed before you need it, the fare is fixed up front, and the same standard applies at 4 pm or 4 am.
The surprise is the price. Because private rides are booked ahead with the fare fixed, the difference from a metered ride is often far smaller than people expect — and what you get for it is a premium car, a professional chauffeur and zero uncertainty.

FAQ
Private taxi in Dubai — questions, answered
No. A regular taxi runs on a meter and you take the car that arrives. A private taxi from RIDDE is a pre-booked premium car with a professional driver and a fixed fare confirmed before you ride — no meter, no surge, no queue.
Point-to-point rides are quoted as a fixed fare when you book. By time, the BYD Han is AED 65 per hour (minimum 2 hours) or AED 600 for a full day of up to 10 hours — and multi-day bookings save up to 30%, bringing the day rate to as low as AED 420. Fuel and Salik are included on time-based hire, which runs within Dubai — up to 60 km per booked hour, or up to 300 km per day.
Usually less than people expect. The fare is fixed when you book, so there's no meter running in traffic and no surge — for many routes the difference from a regular taxi is surprisingly small, and you ride in a premium car with a vetted driver.
Yes — DXB and DWC are covered around the clock. Book with at least two hours' notice and your driver will be arranged for when you land, with the price confirmed at booking. See how airport pickups work.
Yes. Intercity rides run on fixed fares — Abu Dhabi is AED 350 one way or AED 650 round trip, Ras Al Khaimah AED 300, Ajman AED 120, and more. Next-door Sharjah is the exception: it books as a standard one-way ride with your exact price shown before you confirm. See all intercity routes.
No. Your price is agreed when you book — a fixed fare for point-to-point and intercity rides, or a clear hourly and daily rate when you keep the car at your disposal. Traffic never changes what you pay.
They all point at the same thing: a professional driver with a private car. The industry word is "chauffeur" — typed "chauffer" or "shofer" more often than anyone admits — but whatever you call it, with RIDDE you get a vetted driver, a premium car and a fixed price.
