Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 20, 2025
Taxis

Official Dubai Taxi Corporation (DTC) taxis are available 24/7 at designated ranks outside all terminals. These are metered, cream-colored vehicles (some with pink roofs for families/ladies) that accept cash and credit cards. Ride-hailing services like Uber and Careem also operate from the airport with designated pickup areas.

Rental Cars

Major international and local car rental companies, including Hertz, Avis, Sixt, and Europcar, have desks in the arrivals area of each terminal. Pre-booking is recommended. Renters will need a valid passport, credit card, and a valid driver's license, often accompanied by an International Driving Permit (IDP).

Public Transportation

The Dubai Metro's Red Line directly serves Terminal 1 and Terminal 3, providing a fast and efficient link to the city. Terminal 2 is connected via a short taxi ride or shuttle bus. A network of RTA public buses also operates from all terminals, offering routes across Dubai. A Nol card (a rechargeable travel card) is required for both the Metro and buses.

Arrogant local Posted by on February 9, 2017

two hours ago I went to arrival to pick up my sister and so much traffic in the parking lot...I paid my parking fee in the machine but when I reached the barrier to come out in the parking lot my ticket has expired due to heavy traffic inside the parking lot...suddenly there's one local guy who's for sure working there yelled at me saying " go back go back " I asked the Indian man why do I have to pay again he simply say " what can I do?" I know he can't do anything because of that arrogant local man who's acting like the facilitator or supervisor of that parking but I believe the management of the airport terminal 1 would not tolerate that kind behaviour which will give negative impact in Dubai in terms of tourism.

Baggage collection nightmare Posted by on June 17, 2016

Terminal 1, baggage conveyor stops just after 2 minutes of operations. Information shared is that it will take some time as the maintenance crew is on the other end of the belt.. The ten other belts are not in use currently displaying inelligible information.

Flight arrival information Posted by on November 7, 2014

It is impossible to check the arrival of a flight on line which is scheduled to arrive before midnight e.g on the 7th November but which is delayed and actually arrives just after midnight i.e on the 8th December. Surely the software can and should be adapted to deal with this situation.
