Why book this transfer

Dubai Airport (DXB) Transfer

A Dubai Airport transfer is the simplest way to start a stay in the city after landing at DXB. Instead of joining the taxi queue or working out the metro with luggage, a licensed driver meets you in arrivals and takes you directly to your hotel, apartment or residence anywhere in Dubai.

This page is for guests arriving into Dubai International Airport and staying in Dubai itself — Downtown, Dubai Marina, JBR, Palm Jumeirah, Business Bay, Jumeirah, Deira, Dubai Hills and other neighbourhoods. Prices are calculated by the same Airport Ride booking engine used on our main transfer page, based on passengers and vehicle — not a fixed number printed on this landing page.

DXB to Dubai hotels

Dubai International Airport sits on the Deira side of the city. A private car to Downtown Dubai or Business Bay is usually the shortest hop, while Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina and JBR take longer because you cross Sheikh Zayed Road and the coastal hotels.

Typical journey time is around 45 minutes in normal traffic, but Terminal 3 evening peaks and Palm Jumeirah weekend arrivals can add time. Your driver tracks the flight and waits at the meeting point, so you are not racing a meter from the kerb.

Choose this route when your hotel or residence is in Dubai. If you are continuing to Ras Al Khaimah or Abu Dhabi after DXB, use the dedicated transfer pages for those longer emirate-to-emirate journeys.

Vehicle options

SUV and similar cars suit couples and small families. Hiace vans cover mid-size groups with extra luggage. Coaster minibuses and larger coaches are quoted in the same vehicle step when passenger count requires them. Capacity and the live price come from the booking engine after you enter date, time and passenger numbers.

How DXB pickup works

Select your Dubai Airport terminal when you book: Terminal 3 for Emirates, Terminal 2 for Flydubai, and Terminal 1 for most other airlines. After landing you clear immigration and collect bags, then meet the driver at the arrivals meeting point shown on your confirmation.

Add your flight number on the vehicle step if you have it — the driver can follow the landing time. Child seats can be requested there too. Payment is online; arrival parking is included where it applies for the vehicle you choose.

Frequently asked questions

See more FAQs on our help page

Which DXB terminal should I choose for a Dubai hotel transfer?

Use Terminal 3 for Emirates, Terminal 2 for Flydubai, and Terminal 1 for most other airlines. You can change the terminal in the form if your ticket shows a different arrival building.

Do you drop off at Palm Jumeirah, Marina and Downtown hotels?

Yes. Enter the hotel or residence name. The same Dubai Airport transfer covers Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, JBR, Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, Jumeirah and other Dubai addresses.

Is this a shared airport shuttle?

No. You book a private vehicle for your party. The driver goes from DXB to your address without collecting other passengers.

Can I book a return from the hotel back to DXB?

Yes. Choose Return in the booking form and add the hotel pickup date and time. Outbound and return use the same Airport Ride pricing rules.
