Yango Ride introduces cost-effective city taxi option for corporate clients in Abu Dhabi

Yango Ride, part of the international tech company Yango Group, now offers city taxis for corporate clients in Abu Dhabi through its solutions for business.

The service provides a centralised platform that helps companies book and manage employee rides. A new B2B option addresses the challenge of coordinating transport and expenses across large teams, enabling businesses to customise policies and save up to 30 per cent on corporate travel compared to other solutions.

Greater affordability and access

The move follows Yango Ride's 2024 launch of its B2B options in the UAE, where companies in Dubai and Abu Dhabi gained access to a centralised, cloud-based system to manage employee transportation. The addition of taxis in Abu Dhabi builds on this foundation, extending greater affordability and access while preserving the platform’s enterprise-grade features.

With a unified system for managing rides, Yango Ride’s offer for business removes the complexity of employee reimbursements and ride approvals. All trips, including city taxis, are billed monthly to a single corporate account, with itemised reporting and tax-deductible documentation. Companies can monitor ride activity in real time, apply customised travel policies, and control usage based on employee seniority, department, time of day or location.

Structured cost-efficient solution

“Abu Dhabi was recently named the fourth-best city globally for public transport, creating the ideal environment to bridge the gap between public mobility and private sector needs,” says Islam Abdul Karim, Regional Head of Yango Middle East. “Taxis are often the most practical and affordable car option, yet companies still book them ad hoc, without visibility or control. By integrating taxis into the platform, we’re turning a common workaround into a structured, cost-efficient solution that finally matches the scale and needs of modern companies.”

Ivan Kaplunovich, Head of Yango Ride for business, adds: “Abu Dhabi has taken major steps to reshape its transport ecosystem through forward-looking initiatives like the Transportation Mobility Management strategy, which aims to improve public transport access, reduce congestion, and encourage more sustainable travel.

“By integrating taxis into our B2B platform, we’re enabling businesses to support this initiative and offer an efficient way to manage employee transport using modes that are already part of the city’s mobility fabric.”

Automated onboarding

Yango Ride for business can integrate with internal HR and travel systems through APIs, enabling automated onboarding, access rights, and budget control for distributed teams. Each client is assigned a dedicated account manager and 24/7 support for smooth and responsive service.

The service is already used across more than 15 industries, including consulting, logistics, finance, IT, and legal services. In Abu Dhabi, companies can now choose between the Comfort tariff and City Taxis for their corporate transport needs. In Dubai, the available ride classes are Premier and Elite.

This update complements Yango Ride’s ongoing work with the Integrated Transport Centre (ITC) and Abu Dhabi Mobility, further strengthening the emirate’s push towards smart, efficient transport systems. The addition of taxis marks another step in Yango Ride’s expansion across the UAE, reinforcing its position as a key player in the region’s corporate mobility space.
