nutbolt Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 What is the final take on carpooling in UAE? Sometimes I read that it's not allowed, and other friend says if you register with RTA then you can do car pool in Dubai safely. Any clue on how does carpooling abudhabi takes? I have a month-long project in Abu Dhabi and I plan to share my car with two other friends from Dubai to Abu dhabhi going to the same office every day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 If you’re giving a ride to friends, it’s fine. If you take money, it’s illegal. Hit up Facebook, search for carlift. Without meaning to be racists, Filipinos seem to be the main illegal taxi operators operating under the car lift term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutbolt Posted March 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 Thanks Barry for the quick reply, we are considering both ways where one day each one of us takes the car and no one pays to anyone. second way where they all use my car being spacious and comfy and share the fuel and service cost. do you know for first way do we need to take some legal permission or permit for car pooling? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 If you want to share a ride with friends it’s ok. Once money comes into it, it becomes illegal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 carpooling is perfectly legal and also RTA made a sharekni site and app for registering users interested to share their car or ride as a passenger http://sharekni-web.sdg.ae/en/index.aspx?id=1 Quote RTA announces the legality of carpooling in the Emirate of Dubai. Everyone is encouraged to carpool through the Sharekni system. By offering shared ride you will directly contribute to reducing traffic in Dubai and participate in the development of the city. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
