Cabs Driver

What Cabs Driver does

Cabs Driver is a UAE-based luxury chauffeur and ground transportation operator founded in 2018 by Sushanth, headquartered in Dubai with a regional office in Kingston upon Thames, UK. The company markets itself as a premium, full-service chauffeur provider serving individual travelers, tourists, corporate accounts, event organizers, and leisure travelers across the UAE and a self-claimed 37-city global network including Doha, Muscat, London, Paris, Rome, Berlin, and Los Angeles. Its service portfolio spans point-to-point airport transfers, intercity transfers (notably Dubai–Abu Dhabi and Dubai–Oman), hourly and full-day chauffeur hire, corporate monthly-invoiced accounts, dedicated event transportation, sightseeing tours across multiple emirates, and a packaged Desert Safari experience using 4x4 vehicles and a private desert camp.

The operating model combines a web-based self-serve booking platform with phone, WhatsApp, and email channels, and a higher-touch inside-sales motion for corporate accounts. Technology elements include a real-time booking engine with online payment, real-time flight monitoring against customer-supplied flight numbers, GPS-based driver tracking during rides, and on-request multilingual chauffeurs in English, Arabic, Chinese, and Hindi. The published fleet spans seven vehicle tiers from Business Class (Lexus ES 350) and Luxury Class (Mercedes S Class, BMW 7 Series) sedans, through Mercedes V-Class vans and 14- to 50-seater coaches, to a 2022 Mercedes Sprinter addition and a desert-safari roster of Toyota Land Cruiser, Nissan Patrol, Jeep Wrangler, and Hummer H3 vehicles.

Revenue is generated across four primary streams: per-transfer fares, hourly chauffeur usage, recurring corporate monthly invoicing, and packaged event and safari bookings. Pricing is transaction- or usage-based in AED, ranging from AED 80 for an in-city economy cab to AED 1,800+ for cross-border Dubai–Oman, with a 5% government levy on chauffeur services and online/return-trip discounts as demand incentives. The company is privately held, founder-owned, with 51-100 employees and no disclosed external funding.
