A Dedicated Personal Driver, By the Month
A monthly personal driver in Dubai is exactly what it sounds like: one professional chauffeur, assigned to you and to nobody else, working the hours you set, for a fixed fee agreed before the month begins. No app, no queue, no unfamiliar face at the kerb — the same driver who knows your building's parking ramp, your children's school gate and the fact that you leave for the airport twenty minutes earlier than most people think is necessary.
Al Rwad Limousine LLC has run this service for executives, families and long-staying visitors across Dubai for years. The commercial difference from employing a driver privately is that we carry the burden: sponsorship where relevant, the RTA chauffeur permit, uniform, medical insurance, end-of-service entitlement, annual leave and, crucially, the replacement driver on the morning yours wakes up with a fever. You get the continuity of a private employee without the paperwork, the risk or the recruitment.
Every chauffeur is a full-time employee, English-speaking (Arabic, Hindi and Urdu also available), background-checked, in uniform and trained in the small courtesies that make a daily service feel premium rather than transactional: doors opened, water chilled, cabin temperature set the way you like it before you step in.
Why a Monthly Driver Beats Daily Taxis & Ride-Hailing
If you are taking three or more rides a day in Dubai, the arithmetic stops being close. Airport runs at peak multiples, a Downtown-to-Marina commute twice daily, the school shuttle and the evening dinner reservation add up faster than most households expect — and none of that spend buys you consistency. A monthly package converts a variable, unpredictable cost into one line on your budget that does not move when it rains, when there is a concert at Coca-Cola Arena, or when it is the last Friday of DSF.
The service quality gap is larger still. Ride-hailing gives you whoever is nearest: a different car every time, unfamiliar with your route, sometimes declining the trip when traffic looks unappealing. A dedicated chauffeur waits for you, holds the car while you finish a meeting, keeps your child's booster seat permanently fitted, carries the shopping in, and does the errand run — dry cleaning, pharmacy, passport collection — while you work. That is not a taxi replacement; it is time returned to you.
There is a safety and privacy dimension too. Families entrusting a driver with children, and executives discussing confidential matters on the phone during a commute, both benefit from a named, vetted, accountable professional employed by a licensed RTA operator — rather than a rotating cast of strangers with a star rating.
What's Included in a Monthly Package
Packages are deliberately all-in. The things that usually become awkward conversations mid-month — leave, sick days, overtime, tolls — are settled in the contract before your driver's first shift.
- One dedicated, RTA regulated chauffeur — the same person every day
- Set daily or weekly hours, with the start time you choose
- Premium vehicle supplied on request, or we drive your own car
- Fuel, Salik and servicing handled on Chauffeurr-supplied vehicles
- Backup driver dispatched in 60 minutes if yours is unwell or on leave
- Flexible month-to-month scheduling with 30 days' cancellation notice
On driver-only contracts, where our chauffeur drives your own vehicle, fuel and Salik on that car remain yours; everything relating to the driver stays ours. On Chauffeurr-supplied vehicles, the monthly figure covers the car, fuel, Salik, servicing, registration, insurance and a replacement vehicle if yours is in the workshop.
Who Uses Our Monthly Driver Service
Families with school-age children
The single most common reason parents call us. One trusted, vetted driver handles the morning drop at GEMS, Repton, Dubai College or Kings', the afternoon pickup, the swimming and football runs, and the weekend trips to the mall or the beach.
Elderly residents
Patient, courteous drivers for hospital appointments, pharmacy and grocery runs, mosque visits and family gatherings. Families abroad get the reassurance of a named professional they have met, not a rotating stream of strangers.
Visiting business teams
Delegations in Dubai for a month of meetings, exhibitions or project work. One driver, one vehicle, one invoice — far simpler for finance than reconciling hundreds of individual ride receipts.
Residents between visas or licences
Newly arrived, waiting on a UAE driving licence, or holding a licence that requires conversion. A monthly driver keeps life moving without the temptation to drive uninsured or the cost of daily taxis.
How It Works
01
Tell us your routine
Share your typical week — hours, pickup areas, school runs, airport trips and whether you have a car for us to drive. A short WhatsApp message is enough to begin.
02
Meet your driver
We match a chauffeur to your language preference, area and schedule, send his profile and licence details, and introduce you before the contract begins.
03
Start the month
A fixed monthly fee, one invoice, no surge and no haggling. Review and adjust hours each month as your schedule changes.
How global travel programmes use us
A UAE specialist, not a worldwide directory
This page covers retainer · dubai. The operating model behind it is the same everywhere we work in the Emirates, and it is the reason international travel programmes route their UAE legs to us.
Most premium chauffeur brands travellers encounter online are global marketplaces: a booking layer in one country, a subcontracted supplier in another, and no accountability in the city where the car actually turns up. Chauffeurr is deliberately the opposite. We operate only in the United Arab Emirates, with our own licensed fleet and permanently employed chauffeurs, which is why hotels, concierge desks, travel management companies and corporate travel teams route their UAE ground legs to us while keeping their global network elsewhere.
Working in a single market allows detail that a worldwide roster cannot reproduce: chauffeurs who know which tower entrance a building's security actually admits cars through, which community gates need a pass logged in advance, where a car may legally wait during a two-hour meeting, and how long a route genuinely takes at 08:00 versus 22:00. Local knowledge of this kind is the difference between a ride that is booked and a ride that works.
Commercially, the arrangement is simple. Partners keep their traveller relationship and their reporting. We supply the vehicle, the chauffeur, the licence trail, consolidated monthly invoicing with VAT, and a single UAE operations contact reachable on WhatsApp at any hour. Corporate accounts get standing rates, cost-centre tagging on every job and a named account manager rather than a support form.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does a monthly driver cost in Dubai?
A monthly personal driver in Dubai starts from around AED 3,500 for a part-time package of roughly four hours a day, AED 6,000 for a standard eight-hour day and AED 8,500 for full-time cover of around twelve hours a day. Those figures cover the chauffeur, his RTA permit, uniform, insurance, leave cover and our HR administration. If you would also like us to supply the vehicle — an E-Class, S-Class or V-Class with fuel, Salik and maintenance included — we quote that on request.
Is the same driver assigned every day?
Yes. The whole point of a monthly package is continuity: one dedicated chauffeur, the same person every day, who learns your routine, your children's school gates, your building's security procedure and how you like the car set up. You are introduced before the contract starts, and if the fit is not right in the first two weeks we will replace him without argument.
What hours are included in a monthly package?
The standard package is eight hours a day, six days a week, with the start time set by you. Part-time (around four hours, ideal for school runs) and full-time (around twelve hours, with split shifts for early airport runs and late dinners) are both available. Hours beyond your package are billed at a pre-agreed hourly rate, never at a surge multiple.
Do I need to provide the car, or do you?
Either works. Most residents already own a vehicle — a Range Rover, G-Wagon, Lexus LX or family SUV — and simply need a professional to drive it; that is our driver-only contract. Alternatively we supply a Chauffeurr Mercedes on a long-term basis with fuel, Salik, servicing, registration and a replacement vehicle if yours is ever off the road. Quoted per requirement.
What happens if my driver is sick or on leave?
You are never left without a chauffeur. A vetted relief driver is dispatched within 60 minutes at no additional cost, and annual leave, public holidays and sick days are all absorbed by us rather than by your schedule. This is the single biggest advantage over employing a driver directly, where one bout of flu leaves you driving yourself.
Can I change my schedule month to month?
Yes. Packages are reviewed monthly, so you can move from part-time to full-time for a busy quarter, add Sundays during Ramadan or school holidays, or scale back while you travel. Changes need seven days' notice, and contracts can be cancelled with thirty days' notice — no long lock-in.
Do you cover the other emirates?
Yes. Your monthly driver operates across all seven emirates — daily commutes to Abu Dhabi or Sharjah, weekend runs to Ras Al Khaimah or Fujairah, and airport transfers at DXB, DWC and Zayed International are all included within your contracted hours, with tolls handled on our vehicles.
