What to Expect From a Dubai Taxi Driver Who Doesn't Speak English

If you're traveling with children, you may be wondering about the best way to get around Dubai in a taxi. In this article, we'll cover what to expect from a taxi ride with a driver who doesn't speak much English. It's also worth noting that some cabs have car seats for babies. Fortunately, all of these taxis are regulated and metered. While you're on vacation, it's important to remember that you'll need to pay the driver.

Taxis are metered

There are two types of metered taxis in Dubai: a DTC and a private one. A DTC is a general service cab that can be hail at any time of the day and night, and is red with occasional advertisement ads on the doors and back bumper. The meter on a private cab starts at AED 5 from 6 am to 10 pm and at AED 5.50 after this time.

When hailing a taxi in Dubai, you should always check whether it's metered. A taxi in Dubai will have a meter, and you will pay by the kilometer at the end of the ride. You can always tip, but you are not required to. For example, a flag-fall charge is higher than a street cab fare, but this is still less than a car that's been standing in the road for 15 minutes.

Drivers don't speak much English

When choosing a taxi in Dubai, it's important to remember that most drivers are not native English speakers and don't know the city's roads well. They will find your destination by identifying landmarks, so it's best to sit in the back seat. Although the cabs are pink and have female drivers, it's important to remain calm when conversing with drivers and avoid bantering with them.

When hiring a taxi in Dubai, don't forget to book one that has customer support and professional licensed drivers. Many drivers don't speak English and may drive in a way that is not comfortable for you. If you're booking a taxi from the airport, it is best to book one that knows the area well. Then, if your flight is delayed, your taxi driver will be waiting for you in the arrival lounge. You can relax while the taxi driver takes you to your hotel.

They accept cash

You may not know it, but Dubai taxis are now equipped with POS machines that allow credit card payments via mobile devices, such as Apple Pay and Samsung Pay. While many drivers refuse to accept cards, POS machines have been installed in all Dubai taxis since 2019. This encourages cashless payments. It is also important to know that a tip button will be available in the cab, allowing customers to pay the driver using their phone's camera.

There are more than 50 official taxi ranks in Dubai, but the main ones are located outside of major shopping malls and transport hubs. These taxis usually accept cash, but drivers may not carry enough change to break large bills. It's best to avoid large bills and use a cash meter if you don't have enough cash in your pocket. You can also use the Mashaweer service. It's like Uber, but for Dubai.

They offer baby-seats

If you are a parent and are wondering if you can safely travel in Dubai with your young children, you will be pleased to know that Dubai Taxis now offer baby-seats. As of early 2019, this is not a standard feature, but the Dubai Taxi Corporation is introducing an initiative called Al Khair Ride. These cars are equipped with chair lifts and specialist ramps for those with disabilities. Drivers are trained to assist passengers with disabilities.

The law requires all vehicles to have at least two child car seats available for passengers, including the cabs themselves. If drivers do not comply, they can be fined AED 440 and face four black points on their driver's license. It is unclear how many child car seats the taxis will have to provide, but it is expected to be at least two. Once the new law is implemented, drivers will be required to provide the seats for children under four.

They operate around the clock

If you're in Dubai and don't want to spend too much, you can get around the city by catching a taxi. These taxis are readily available all day, seven days a week. You can find them easily by looking for the red roof and tan body. If you're travelling with a lady, you can even choose a pink-topped cab, which is only driven by women. Taxis in Dubai operate on a meter. The base fare is about five AED and increases to ten to twelve AED when you book through dispatch or through the app. You will also have to pay extra if you're travelling in a van or a junior car. A sedan will also have to pay a subsequent meter charge of 1.82 AED per kilometre. In addition, if you need to pick up or drop

The DSI platform provided seamless integration with Oracle JD Edwards, and provided a variety of features for drivers and passengers. In particular, Hala was chosen by the Dubai Taxi Corporation because of its ability to accommodate up to three passengers, while Careem provides a variety of services for its clients. You can choose from a standard Dubai Taxi or a larger one, known as a Hala Van, which offers a large amount of space for passengers. Hala also provides service from the airport taxi rank.
