4 Dubai taxi tips to save you time (and money)
If you've been in Dubai for longer than five minutes, chances are you've hopped in a cab or two. Dubai taxis are all over the city, dressed in brightly coloured roofs (we'll get to that later), and helping us zip from A to B. But there are some top tips to know about the city's taxi fleets that we can almost guarantee you're not making the most of. From cashback on your trips to the best time to book, scroll down for our best taxi hacks to use next. 4 Dubai Taxi hacks to try on your next trip Check out the service fees Credit: Dubai Taxi Company If you're hunting for the best fare, it's worth keeping in mind that taxi prices fluctuate based on how you book them, what time you travel and your location. For example, the base fare if you book on Bolt, S'hail or Careem is Dhs12, but if you hail it on the street outside of peak hours, the base fare lowers to Dhs5. Taxis picking up from Dubai International Airport will also have a base fare of Dhs25, so expect your ride to be a little more expensive. You can learn more about base fares on the Dubai Taxi Company website. Get discounted taxi rides from the metro If you use public transport in Dubai, this is one subscription service you should sign up for in Dubai. Hala, the e-hailing taxi service, has a subscription programme called 'Hala Rides for Metro,' designed to save you some money on your transportation costs specifically to and from Dubai Metro stations. For Dhs4.99 a month, subscribers can receive a 20 percent discount on up to ten Hala trips— with savings of up to Dhs5 per ride. That's Dhs50 every 10 rides, so it's a pretty good deal to save a little cash. Know the best time to book Depending on where and when you need to get somewhere, your journey time will vary. According to Hala Taxi, the busiest hours of the day begin from 8am until 10am, so it's best to travel before or after this time. Another peak time of day to avoid is around school pick-up between 3pm and 5pm. If you hail a cab after 7pm, you should notice it's a lot easier both for wait time and your journey time too. Save on your journeys with Careem Plus The app subscription service has the option to book a Hala Taxi, and you can actually make money back every time you book a trip. Careem Plus members pay Dhs19 per month to use the service but make that money back twice over on average with monthly savings of Dhs40. Subscribers get 10 percent instant cashback on every Hala ride credited directly to their in-app wallet on the first 10 trips taken every month. Data released by Hala in June showed that Dubai Taxi riders had saved Dhs15 million in four years through the service. Why not be one of them?

The 30-minute Dubai Metro rule and how it affects you
Dubai has one of the best public transport systems in the world, with millions of people riding the metro, tram and bus every day. And for those of you who know the 30-minute rule, you understand exactly how good it is. For the uninitiated, the Roads and Public Transport Authority's 30-minute rule allows you to pay for one trip in total even when you hop on board multiple forms of public transport. How the 30-minute rule works Dubai's public transport map is split into seven different zones which each contains metro, tram and bus stations. The map is colour-coded and numbered to make it easier to understand when you've arrived in a different zone. Travelling across these zones affects how much you'll be charged for your journey with your nol card. For example, if you travel within one zone you'll be charged less than for a journey between three zones. You may like: 7 essential Dubai Metro hacks every Dubai resident should know And, to allow you to complete as much of your journey as possible with public transport, the RTA allows you to swipe your nol card onto a different mode of transport within 30 minutes of checking out of a metro station at no extra charge. So, if your metro journey only takes you so far, then you can use the same card you started your journey with to take a bus or tram within 30 minutes of leaving Dubai Metro, and it will count as the same trip. The RTA rules specify that the maximum number of transfers allowed within this time is three. Your final fare will depend on the number of zones you pass through in total and on what type of nol card you hold. Regardless of the number of zones you pass through, the maximum journey duration is 180 minutes. Travelling for longer? You'll be charged again. What you pay varies depending on what type of nol card you have The Dubai Metro fines you need to know about (Credit: Adobe Express) The fare you pay for travelling on Dubai public transport depends on what type of card you hold and the number of zones you travel through. Fares with a single one-off red nol card will end up ever-so-slightly pricier than those with a personal, silver or gold card. A regular red card is priced at Dhs4 when travelling within one zone or Dhs8 if you're using the gold cabin on the Dubai Metro. Travel between two adjacent zones is Dhs6 for regular cabins and Dhs12 in gold class. And if you move between more than two zones it's Dhs8.50 for a regular journey or Dhs17 for a gold journey. Silver and personal cards are priced at Dhs3 within one zone, Dhs5 between two adjacent zones and Dhs7.5 between more than two zones. The gold card allows travel in gold class at a reduced rate of Dhs6 within one zone, Dhs10 between two adjacent zones and Dhs15 for more than two zones. Kids under five travel for free regardless of ticket while the personal card offers a 50 percent discount on all fares for students, social affairs and senior Emiratis and citizens. People of determination also travel for free with the personal card.
