Dubai Private Van Hire (10-Hour) — Driver & Airport Pickup
Avoid juggling taxis and bags—book a private 10-hour van with a uniformed driver to move smoothly between Dubai’s highlights. This full-day, air-conditioned service simplifies airport pickup and lets you set the pace for the city.
The Experience
Before You Go
Confirm pickup location and flight details
Share your arrival flight number and exact terminal so the driver can meet you at the correct arrivals door; delays happen—keep a contact number handy.
Request child seats in advance
If you’re traveling with infants or small children, reserve specialized infant seats ahead of booking rather than assuming availability.
Plan around traffic and heat
Avoid mid-day traffic and the hottest hours by scheduling major stops early morning or late afternoon to maximize comfort and sightseeing time.
Carry small-change and a local SIM
Drivers may appreciate cash for tolls or tips; having a local SIM or roaming data makes coordination and route changes easier.

Conservation Note
Water scarcity and coastal development are ongoing concerns—respect local rules, avoid single-use plastics, and support operators using efficient routing to reduce emissions.
Dubai grew from a 19th-century fishing and pearling economy along the creek into a global trade hub; rapid oil and trade-driven growth in the 20th century transformed its skyline.
