Chauffeur Only is the mirror of our flagship Car-with-Chauffeur service. Same RTA-licensed drivers, same dispatch, same uniform — but they drive YOUR vehicle. Ideal for the long-haul arrival when you don't want to drive home, the dinner where the wine list is too good to refuse, the daily school run in the family Yukon, or the Abu Dhabi business trip in your own G-Wagen.
Every chauffeur is screened against UAE traffic records, holds a minimum 5-year UAE licence, speaks English, and is covered by Al Rwad Limousine LLC's third-party liability insurance the moment they take the wheel of your car. We also reconfirm with your own insurer that a professional driver is permitted under your policy — no surprises.
Whether it's a one-off post-dinner ride home or a 6-month dedicated chauffeur on retainer, the booking flow is identical to our car service: pick the date, the duration, the pickup, and we dispatch. Most on-demand requests inside Dubai are met within 30-45 minutes, 24 hours a day.
Chauffeur-only means we send a professional driver to operate the vehicle you already own. It is the right service when the car is the point — a Range Rover the family is used to, a G-Class with the child seats already fitted, a classic that nobody wants on a transporter, or a company vehicle whose insurance and branding make a substitute awkward.
The most common use is a residential one. A Dubai household with two working adults, school runs in Jumeirah or Dubai Hills, and evening commitments does not need a second car; it needs someone competent behind the wheel of the first one. A chauffeur assigned to your own vehicle removes the daily negotiation over who drives, and removes the parking problem at both ends of every journey.
The second use is temporary. A visiting executive with a leased car, a resident recovering from surgery who cannot drive for six weeks, an expiring licence awaiting renewal, or a family member who simply stopped enjoying Sheikh Zayed Road. Chauffeur-only covers those gaps by the hour, the day or the month without committing to a vehicle you do not need.
Every chauffeur holds a UAE licence with commercial endorsement, has been road-tested on both saloons and large SUVs, and is briefed on your vehicle before the first shift — mirrors, driver aids, parking sensors, fuel or charge type, tyre pressures and where the service book lives. Automatic transmissions are standard; manual and left-hand-drive-specific experience is available on request.
Insurance is the question every serious enquiry asks first, and the answer is straightforward: your vehicle stays on your policy, and the chauffeur must be a permitted driver under it. Most UAE comprehensive policies cover any licensed driver with the owner's permission, but the wording varies by insurer, so we ask you to confirm it in writing before the first shift and we hold the chauffeur's licence and endorsement copies on file for your records.
Pricing is by time, not distance, because the car is yours: hourly hire runs on a three-hour minimum, full-day cover is quoted at ten hours, and monthly placement is the cheapest per hour for households needing daily cover. Fuel, Salik, Darb and parking are billed to the vehicle owner at cost since they belong to your car, and we send a monthly statement rather than a stack of receipts. Overtime is charged in 30-minute blocks with no minimum call-out on top.
Continuity matters more here than anywhere else in our business. Because the chauffeur is inside your home routine — the school gate, the housekeeper, the building access card — we assign one named driver with a designated backup who has already shadowed the route, rather than rotating whoever is free. Replacement requests are handled without argument.
You keep your own car; we send a professional, RTA-vetted chauffeur to drive it. Ideal after a long flight, a business dinner, an evening out, or when you want your spouse or children driven somewhere in the family vehicle. We don't bring a vehicle — just the chauffeur.
On-demand starts at AED 90 per hour (3-hour minimum) for sedan/SUV with manual or automatic. Full-day (10h) is AED 700. Monthly retainers from AED 4,500 (180 hours, dedicated chauffeur). All prices include fuel-station stops, parking handling and complimentary bottled water — never your fuel.
Yes. Every Chauffeurr driver carries a UAE driving licence (5+ years), is background-checked, and our company carries third-party liability cover that activates the moment they take the wheel of your vehicle. We also confirm your own policy permits a professional driver before the job.
Yes — this is one of our most popular monthly products. Fixed daily morning drop-offs and afternoon pick-ups in your own car, with a dedicated chauffeur your family knows by name. Monthly retainers across all major Dubai schools (GEMS, Repton, Brighton College, JESS, Dubai College and more).
On-demand bookings inside Dubai are typically met within 30-45 minutes, 24/7. Outside Dubai (Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Northern Emirates) we recommend 2-hour notice. Scheduled bookings (school runs, dinners, airport drop-offs in your own car) lock in the same chauffeur every time.
That's our other flagship service — Car with Chauffeur — covering Mercedes, BMW, Cadillac and Tesla. Both services run on the same dispatch and can be combined (e.g. one-way airport pickup in our Mercedes, then daily school run in your own SUV).
