“My Driver service is one of the novel and premium services introduced by DTC. This service keeps drivers on demand for serving customers, including individuals, parents, families or companies for specific periods agreed by both parties. The client provides a comprehensively insured vehicle along with fuel and DTC provides a professional driver,” said Mansour Al Falasi, CEO of Dubai Taxi Corporation, RTA.

“The duration of contracts varies from daily to weekly and monthly. This community service primarily targets individuals and companies based in Dubai and offers them highly trained and professional drivers, following all the COVID-19 precautionary measures,” noted Al Falasi.
