Arabia Taxi LLC is a privately held UAE taxi franchise operator and a subsidiary of Arabia Holdings Group of Companies, founded in 2005. It holds franchise rights from all five major UAE transport authorities — RTA (Dubai), APTC (Ajman), TRANSAD (Abu Dhabi & Al Ain), SRTA (Sharjah), and RAKTA (Ras Al Khaimah) — operating approximately 4,000+ vehicles across 7 emirates under multiple brands including Arabia Taxi, Citi Taxi, Union Taxi, Al Hamra Taxi, Al Hamra Bus, and Al Hamra Limousine.

The company's core offering is regulated meter-based taxi transportation, supported by an operational technology stack consisting of a 24/7 Quality Control Patrolling team, CCTV in-vehicle cameras, speed control devices capped at 120 km/hour, NOL and credit card payment systems, and a dedicated Accident Investigation Team. Product extensions include hybrid taxis (135 units in Dubai fleet targeting 50% hybrid composition by 2021), wheelchair-accessible special needs taxis, 7-seater MPV family vehicles, luxurious intercity buses, and limousine services. The company also monetizes its fleet through transit advertising via subsidiary Synergy Arabia FZ LLC.

Revenue is generated through two streams: (1) transaction-fee based regulated taxi fares, with pricing varying by emirate (e.g., AED 5.00 local minimum, AED 10–25 intercity), and (2) transit advertising revenue leveraging approximately 450,000 daily Dubai passengers. The go-to-market model is direct-to-consumer via call-center booking (numbers 800 1700, 6005 9999 7, 600 53 53 53), walk-up hailing, and franchise-mandated regulatory compliance. The company serves general public consumers, families, special needs customers, tourists, business travelers, and corporate clients, with formal ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, and ISO 39001 certifications across all operating entities.
