Taxi! No stress online cab services at the tips of your fingers

"It is better to travel well than to arrive."

Apparently, the Buddha said this. This might have been apt in 567 BC, but in today’s world it is better to travel AND arrive well.

If you are travelling to Dubai whether on business or for a holiday, you will carefully plan your itinerary. Be sure that you do not limit this to just the airline booking. While you might take the airport taxi service to and fro your hotel, you need a good taxicab service to take you to your destinations within Dubai.

Dubai is truly the melting pot of the world. If you are a resident in Dubai, you must already know that most cab services and taxi drivers are well regulated in Dubai as far as charges go. So there’s not much leeway as far as charges are concerned. But there are many other considerations when you are thinking of using a cab service.

Here are a few tips that will help you to glide through your day as far as cabbing is concerned, whether you are a visitor or whether Dubai is your home turf:

Ease to please

Gone are the days when you were required to stand at the curb waving frantically to flag down a passing taxi in pouring rain or under a burning sun, holding a wailing child or a heavy briefcase bursting at the seams. Thanks to the Internet and online booking, all you have to do now is just wave hello or goodbye. Just whip out your phone and your taxi will be waiting for you. And if you choose a platform like jugaad, you have chosen not just wisely, but very well. The booking process is a pleasure; it is quite literally as easy as a flick of your finger.

A day cannot be set in cement and stone

Things do not always go according to plan. We give you the privilege to change your mind at any given time. So, if yours has been a booking done well in advance yet things are not going as per schedule, or the unforeseen is the occurrence of the day, rest assured that you will find our service handy..

We also have a clear and client friendly policy on cancellations and changes.

A day means 24 hours

The best of plans can go awry and you discover that you need help at what some might term "out-of-office" hours. Problems do not follow the office pattern and crop up only between 9 am and 6 pm. However, it really would be wise to ensure that assistance will be available around the clock when you choose a local taxi service. This does not hold good just for out of town visitors to Dubai, but to residents as well. Changes in meeting schedules, flight arrivals, unexpected visitors...the list is endless. We are just a click away.

Service means men, not machines

A taxi service does not just mean well maintained taxis. Even the best of vehicles cannot make up for shoddy personnel.

Safety is often a concern especially if the traveller/ commuter is a woman and is travelling alone. But the other facet is safe driving practices by the taxi driver. No commuter would want a chariot race like Ben Hur’s.

Security of your belongings needs to be assured. There are so many instances when commuters have forgotten their belongings in taxis and have suffered that loss much to their chagrin.

Courtesy of the drivers of the taxi service might also be an issue. Music blaring when you have an important phone call going or if you simply want to relax in peace can be infuriating to say the least.

Skilled and licensed to drive is an absolute legal necessity.

Being route savvy / Route Savviness would be another consideration. If you are a visitor to Dubai, this is an absolute compulsion, of course. But even if you are a resident, there can be nothing more disrupting than having to give continuous directions and instructions to a cabbie who does not know the routes and does not understand a GPRS system either.

we understand all this and more. You will find our taxi drivers skilled, polite, accommodating, safe and honest. They will leave you wishing that the taxi ride had not ended quite so quickly.

Welcome to the best of online taxi services in Dubai. Whether you are freshly off the plane or are simply zipping about Dubai, a click of the mouse, a press of the button on your smartphone, a tap of your thumb on WhatsApp will place a professional taxi service quite literally at your feet.

This is because we, at Jugaad, understand the value of time and comfort.
