Chauffeur Service in Dubai: When to Drive and When to Be Driven
From car reviews and industry updates to maintenance advice, driving tips and buying recommendations, our blog brings together everything you need to stay connected to the world of cars.
Short answer: hire a chauffeur in Dubai when the day involves several meetings, an event with valet queues and no parking, an airport arrival after a long flight, or any occasion where you would rather arrive than drive. The cars most often taken with a driver are the Rolls-Royce Ghost, the Cullinan and the Mercedes-Maybach S680.
When a chauffeur is the better decision
- A day of meetings. Parking in DIFC and Downtown consumes more time than the driving does. A chauffeur turns transit into working time.
- Weddings and events. Nobody in the wedding party should be looking for a parking space, and the photographs are better without keys in hand.
- Airport arrivals. After a long flight, being driven from DXB to the hotel is a different experience from navigating an unfamiliar city.
- Evenings out. The simplest and safest arrangement when the evening includes dinner and a late finish.
- Visiting family. Elderly parents and small children are easier when one adult is not driving.
When self-drive wins
If the car itself is the point – a Porsche 911, a Urus, a Boxster with the roof down – hand yourself the keys. Nobody rents a supercar to sit in the back of it. The same applies to a desert day or a road trip to Abu Dhabi, where driving is the experience.
Which cars suit being driven
Rear-seat comfort is what matters, which narrows it quickly: the Ghost, the Cullinan, the Maybach S680 (from AED 2,599 a day – a car designed around the back seat), the Bentley Flying Spur and, for groups, the Cadillac Escalade at AED 799. Our full chauffeur service collection lists what is available with a driver.
How it works at Hermas
Tell us the car, the date and the hours, and we quote the car with the chauffeur together. The driver is professional, discreet and knows the city – and as with every rental, there is no security deposit, insurance and VAT are included, and Salik is billed at cost afterwards.
