How to choose a luxury limousine and transportation service in Dubai

Limousine services have become one of the most in-demand transportation services in Dubai and the UAE. Choosing the most reliable company becomes a challenge for customers when choosing it. In this article, I will highlight the tips that will help clients to choose the best limousine company in Dubai.

Limousine and luxury transport service companies are following the Dubai Government Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) law. Consequently, all limousine companies must comply with regulations that preserve the rights of customers and the sector. My goal in this article is to bring the most worthwhile information and guidance to the reader’s attention. Also, the information that I will provide in this article is based on the RTA rules, and that is based on the Dubai Government law.

– Car registration code:

All limousine companies must use the “L” code for their vehicles. Please note that the “L” code is not only reserved for limousine company vehicles, so you may find other vehicles in Dubai using the same code as well. However, all limousine company vehicles must carry this code.

– Badge RTA Controllers:

All limousine drivers must wear an RTA limousine license badge. The limousine driver’s credential is different from the driver’s license. The badge will clip onto the driver’s suit/shirt, or as a hanging badge. All customers shall have the right to request the driver to present them with the RTA Limousine License tag, if it is not already on display. Any driver not wearing a badge is considered to be in violation of the law.

– Passenger pick-up locations:

Limousine companies cannot take clients except from assigned places. Limousines are not like taxis; Customers should not be picked up without an appointment except in areas designated for them, such as hotels. At other locations, such as Dubai Airport, only pre-booked limousines can receive airport customers, as well as an assigned company in the limo line. Never follow people offering limousines or taxi limousines outside airports as they are most likely not legal, even if they claim to be a “Limousine Company”. The best way to be picked up by limousine, or luxury transport vehicle, from anywhere in Dubai, as well as Dubai Airport and Dubai World Central Airport, is with a prior and confirmed reservation. This can be easily accomplished by contacting a limousine company through their website, email, or office landline number. Keep in mind that the landline number is much more secure than a mobile number.

– Tariff counter inside the vehicle:

RTA does not oblige limousine companies in Dubai to install fare meters inside limousine vehicles. Rates differ from company to company. It is suggested to start contacting limousine companies for inquiries and prices. Asking different companies will give you an idea of ​​the most reasonable price and availability.

In conclusion, knowing the internal laws helps all travelers to avoid problems that may occur during their trip. I tried to be unbiased, as much as I could, to give the most practical information on how to choose the best limousine company in Dubai.
