Hire a Chauffeur for a Full Day in Dubai: Ten Hours
One car and one chauffeur from morning to evening, at a day price that is 15% below the hourly rate. Use it for meetings, shopping, family outings or a trip to another emirate.
A full-day chauffeur in Dubai is a car and driver for 10 hours at 15% off the hourly rate. In a Lexus ES 300h that is AED 1,275 for the day, and in a BMW i7 it is AED 2,125. Fuel or charging, Salik tolls, 5% VAT and bottled water are included, there is no kilometre limit, and waiting time counts within the ten hours. Attraction tickets, meals and parking are not included, so you pay for those yourself.
Ten hours covers most things people mean by a day: a business programme with five stops, a shopping day with a long lunch, a family outing, or an out-and-back trip to another emirate. If your plan is shorter, an hourly booking may cost less, and the lower of the two prices is applied either way. For sightseeing with chosen attractions, the day planner helps you decide where to go.

How much is a chauffeur for a day in Dubai?
The day price is the hourly rate multiplied by 10, less 15%, so you pay for the equivalent of eight and a half hours. The Lexus ES 300h is AED 1,275 (against AED 150 an hour), the BMW 5 Series is AED 1,700, the Mercedes V-Class is AED 1,700 and the BMW i7 is AED 2,125. The table above lists every car. For how the day price sits beside hourly and airport prices, see the pricing page.

What does a full day with a chauffeur look like?
Three examples of how guests use the ten hours. Times are illustrative, and your chauffeur adjusts the order around traffic.
A shopping and dining day
Collect from the hotel mid-morning, spend the morning at one mall, return to the car for a long lunch elsewhere, then visit a second mall in the afternoon. The car carries the shopping bags, so you never walk back to a car park with them. Dinner and the drive home finish the day within the ten hours.
A business programme
A morning in DIFC, a late-morning meeting in Business Bay, lunch with a client, an afternoon site visit in Dubai Hills and a final stop at the airport. Waiting between meetings counts as booking time, and the same chauffeur and car stay with you throughout, which matters for confidential calls and papers.
A family day out
Start after breakfast, visit a beach or a park, rest during the afternoon heat, then go on to an evening attraction. Tell us the children's ages and weights when you book so we can arrange child seats. A V-Class gives six seats for a larger family.
Can I go to Abu Dhabi and back in one day?
Yes. The drive is typically 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes each way, which leaves several hours at the destination inside a ten-hour day. See Dubai to Abu Dhabi for the route, the main stops and the one-way and return options.
What if the day runs over ten hours?
Time beyond ten hours is charged at the hourly rate of the car, with no premium. Tell your chauffeur in good time if you want to stay out later, and we extend the booking if the car is free. If you already know the day will be long, say so when you book, so we can plan around it.
Which car suits a full day?
The three sedans seat up to three passengers, and the V-Class seats six. For a single traveller or a couple, any sedan works: the BMW i7 is the senior model, the BMW 5 Series suits business days, and the Lexus ES 300h is a hybrid. Compare all of them on the fleet page.
| Car | Full day, 10 hours | Passengers |
|---|---|---|
| BMW i7 | AED 2,125 | 3 |
| BMW 5 Series | AED 1,700 | 3 |
| Mercedes V-Class | AED 1,700 | 6 |
| BYD Han | AED 1,275 | 3 |
| Lexus ES 300h | AED 1,275 | 3 |
