Getting a taxi in Dubai just got easier, with thousands more now available to book digitally.

Bolt, the global ride-hailing platform, has partnered with Dubai Taxi Company (DTC) to add over 6,000 taxis to its app, including Ladies and Family Taxis (Pink Taxis) and vehicles for People of Determination.

This initiative aligns with Dubai’s long-term goal of transitioning 80 per cent of taxi trips to electronic booking systems, enhancing convenience and efficiency for both residents and visitors.

To mark this expansion, Bolt is offering 30 per cent cash back on users’ first three rides, with no surge pricing applied.

The platform features real-time tracking, in-app safety tools like emergency buttons, and a driver rating system, underscoring commitment to reliable, high-quality service across the city.
