Taxis are the most common way of getting around. Metered cabs from
Dubai Transport Corporation, recognised by their cream colour, are efficient
and have well-trained and courteous drivers.
The fare is Dh3.00 for pick-up (Dh3.50 from 10.00pm to 6.00am), followed
by Dh1.17 per kilometre. It is also possible to hire a taxi for a 12-hour
period for a fixed fee of Dh500. Alternatively, Dubai Transport Corporation
operates a fixed-fare minibus service to and from the other emirates.
The fares of non-metered taxis are negotiated between driver and passenger,
starting at a minimum of around Dh5 for short local journeys, while
Dh10 to Dh15 is the rule of thumb if you cross the Creek from one side
of the city to the other. Dubai Transport taxis also operate a service
from the airport. The pick-up fee is Dh16 and the fare then accrues
at Dh1.17 per kilometre. Most hotels operate transport for their guests.
There are also several radio taxi companies which have cars on call
and whose numbers are available at all hotels Taxi Services..
