Carpooling in the United Arab Emirates

carpooling but individual is illegal in UAE, but there are transport companies who licensed and authorized to so carpooling

if you have a UAE license you can use Careem, Uber they have their app this is allowed by the UAE government.

I moved to al ain by September 2019 & have been using Carpooling option for my daily commute to Dubai. Buses are there, but Bus Stand (Al Ain) to Bus Stand ( Dubai) will take atleast 2 hours. Cost & time involved to reach bus stand from home is a different billing.

Taxis - will cost a bomb. On an average it will take 250-350 aed depending on which part of Dubai. Keep in mind . THIS IS ONE WAY ( govt taxis mentioned)..  Forget about UBER or Careem.

I met few people from carpooling & my regular carpooling partner is like a brother to me now. We keep the radio on ..songs...cricket... random topics..tea & shvarma breaks.  carpool world is a legal website, but i am not sure whether it can be used as an option ( didnt find any law against it. the website itself should have been banned just like couchsurfing)

There is a service named Udrive.  Try this.  Web site and mobile app are available.
Car pooling is illegal in UAE.

if it is illegal why do we have the website active and running ?
Udrive got limitations if used outside Dubai.. even if they say per minute billing.. no.. its not.. final bills will come totally different as per the per min calculations.

Udrive may have limitations.  But still people are still using.  In the meantime, for carpooling, websites may exists for a certain period of time till the authorities block it or the portal expires.  BTW, it will be safe not to go for an illegal way.  I did mean it.  Thanks!

this carpooling is not the expatriates in visiting visa driving with no licenses .. .. all working people offering the ride in the free seats they have..
found it sensible..
