Your holiday should begin the moment you land. Book a private taxi transfer from Al Maktoum Airport Dubai to your hotel, and it will.

Al Maktoum Airport (DWC) arrivals can be an unpleasant surprise

You've been traveling for hours. Everyone is tired, the bags are heavy, and then you walk through Al Maktoum Airport (DWC) arrivals into it: a wall of drivers you don't know, unfamiliar cars, and the signed taxi rank at Arrivals, where the fare to your hotel rides on the meter and the Salik tolls on the way north.

Most travelers only discover the problem once they're already moving: with a metered taxi at Al Maktoum Airport (DWC), you often learn the final price at the end of the ride, not the beginning. What you pay depends on traffic and on the 37 km between you and central Dubai. And at busy hours, the queue outside the terminal adds more time to a journey that was already long.

A smarter way to get to and from Al Maktoum Airport Dubai

Pre-book your private Al Maktoum Airport Dubai transfer in minutes and start your holiday stress-free.

Step out of arrivals into the caring welcome of a Kiwitaxi driver: name sign ready, transfer price agreed beforehand, child seat fitted if you need it. Door-to-door service from Al Maktoum Airport Dubai to your hotel. And if your flight was delayed, your driver already knows.

Al Maktoum Airport Dubai

Hurtigt svar på vores spørgsmål inden ferien. Vi fik et whatsapp nr. på vores chauffør, inden og afrejse, og da landede skrev vores chauffør til os, at han ventede på os som aftalt. Turen til hotellet gik super godt, og vores chauffør var mega hjælpsom og venlig. Kæmpe anbefaling herfra.

Trip was great and the driver even waited ages for us after our luggage went missing! He drove very carefully in the fog too, excellent service. Only thing is that the car wasn't as big as the one we had actually booked and if we had received our 8 bags I really don't think they would have fit in!

Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) transfers with Kiwitaxi

A taxi transfer from Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) starts with one step. Book a pickup in advance. Your driver meets you at the right time and takes you to your exact address in Dubai.

Al Maktoum Airport sits in the south of Dubai. Rides to popular areas like Dubai Marina or Downtown often take 30 to 60 minutes, traffic permitting. You go straight to your hotel without changing cars or hunting for a shuttle.

Where might you be heading? Marina District Dubai is 39 km away, about 30 minutes. Out to Palm Jumeirah it's 40 km, half an hour give or take. Deira District Dubai is 64 km across the city, close to 50 minutes. And a run down to Abu Dhabi is 118 km, an hour and twenty minutes.

Price and what it includes

The price you see online is fixed at checkout. It already covers pickup, the trip to your exact address, taxes and tolls. Prices from $24 (Dh94) are shown before you pay, and they're per car. No surprise meter, just a clear fixed price.

Meeting your driver and flight delays

Your driver waits in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name. For arrivals, 90 minutes of free waiting are included, counted from your scheduled arrival time.
Add your flight number at booking. If you land less than 30 minutes late, your driver adjusts; if the delay is longer, call the driver's number from your booking confirmation e-mail or our 24/7 support.

Traveling with children or big gear is simple. You can order child seats and space for strollers or sports equipment, and the final price reflects these options.

Flying out later? For a pickup at your hotel or address, 15 minutes of free waiting are included.

Getting out of DWC: what your options actually are

Al Maktoum Airport (DWC) lies 37 km southwest of central Dubai, and the drive to Downtown Dubai takes 40 to 50 minutes depending on traffic. Also known as Dubai World Central, it sits in Jebel Ali, in Dubai South. The official taxi rank is signposted from Arrivals and run by Dubai Taxi Company, the exclusive taxi operator at DWC, 24/7. A metered DWC taxi is priced by the kilometre, with Salik tolls added whenever the route passes a toll gate, while a pre-booked transfer shows one fixed price from $24 (Dh94) before you pay.

No metro at the airport. Bus F55 connects DWC with Expo City metro station on the Red Line every 30 minutes, and bus N55 runs to Ibn Battuta metro station (nol card only). Bus plus metro into central Dubai runs well over an hour. But the last bus varies by day and the metro is shut overnight, so for a late charter arrival check the timetable for your date. Or have a driver already waiting.

Prefer a smooth start after landing. Of course, the driver takes you to your hotel or any exact address. Landing at Dubai International Airport (DXB) instead? That's a different airport across the city, about 68 km from DWC by road, and Kiwitaxi covers it too.
