Private chauffeur hire
Some days refuse to fit into a single journey
A meeting in DIFC, lunch on Saadiyat, a site visit in Sharjah, then back to the hotel with time to change. Booking a car with driver in the UAE means the same vehicle and the same driver stay with you through all of it. No rebooking. No waiting at the kerb wondering which app car is yours. Calibra Drive provides car hire with driver across all seven emirates, in everything from executive sedans and Rolls-Royce saloons to SUVs, V-Class vans and coaches.

Local knowledge
Who will be driving me?
Calibra Drive is a Dubai-based private transport company operating under Calibra Tourism LLC from Al Quoz First, Dubai. Our chauffeurs hold UAE driving licences and work across all seven emirates, including airport starts at Dubai International (DXB), Al Maktoum (DWC), Zayed International in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah International, and private jet arrivals at the DWC private terminals and Al Bateen Executive Airport. That range is what a chauffeur service in the UAE should cover: the whole country, not one city.
FAQ
Car with driver questions, answered
What if my flight is delayed and my hire starts at the airport?
We track the flight and move the start. Your hours start once you have landed and cleared arrivals, not at the original schedule.
Are fuel, tolls and parking included in the hourly rate?
Yes. Fuel, Salik and Darb tolls and parking at your stops are included. The rate we agree is the rate you pay, unless you add hours.
Can I hire a car with driver and a child seat?
Yes, free of charge — up to two per car. Request infant seats, child seats or boosters when booking, with your children’s ages, and we fit them before pickup.
What happens if I need the car longer than booked?
Tell your driver. Extra time is AED 100 per hour for executive sedans and AED 200 per hour for SUVs and vans; luxury cars, limousines and coaches are quoted. We confirm before extending, subject to the car’s next booking.
Can my day hire cross into another emirate?
Yes. A day based in one emirate can include trips to another — Dubai to Abu Dhabi, say. A small surcharge applies for cross-emirate driving and is shown in your quote before you book.
