The service

  • How is Alsurb different from booking a driver by the hour?

    You get one dedicated chauffeur who works your hours every week and learns your routines, rather than a different driver for each trip. We employ, train and cover them; you simply plan your days.

  • What are the working hours?

    Up to 12 hours a day, 5 or 6 days a week, at the times you choose. Extra hours can be arranged.

  • What can I ask my chauffeur to do?

    Driving you and your family, school runs, airport transfers, errands, collecting and delivering, and looking after the car: washes, fuel and service visits.

  • Where do you operate?

    In Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, including trips between the emirates.

  • Do I need my own car?

    Yes. Your chauffeur drives your car. We confirm your insurance covers a nominated driver during onboarding.

Pricing & plans

  • What’s included in the monthly price?

    The chauffeur’s salary, visa, insurance, training and our support. Fuel, tolls (Salik), parking and anything bought for you are added at cost to your monthly statement.

  • Can I pause my plan?

    Yes, with 7 days’ notice, for example while you travel. You pay only for the days used, plus a small daily fee to keep your chauffeur reserved.

  • How do I cancel?

    Give 7 days’ notice before your renewal date. Annual plans have their own terms in your agreement.

  • What’s the difference between monthly and annual plans?

    Both are paid monthly. An annual plan has a lower monthly price in return for a 12-month commitment.

Chauffeurs & safety

  • How are your chauffeurs selected?

    Through interviews, background checks, police clearance and a road test, then our 11-module academy with an 85% pass mark on every module.

  • What if my chauffeur is sick or on leave?

    We send a trained backup chauffeur. Depending on your plan, cover is included or arranged for a fee.

  • Can I change my chauffeur?

    Yes. If the match isn’t right, we switch within 72, 48 or 24 hours depending on your plan.

Family

  • Can my family use the chauffeur?

    Yes. Add up to 10 people to your plan. When bookings clash, the account holder decides who comes first, and a backup chauffeur can cover the second trip.
