Chauffeur service for investment firms and family offices in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah

This page is for operations heads, executive assistants and chiefs of staff at investment firms, and for the family offices and developers who host investors. You book once under a contract, and the cars run under that arrangement.

Who uses a chauffeur service for investment firms?

Fund and investor teams use us when a programme crosses cities and the timing matters. The people we move are:

• Private equity and venture capital teams on deal trips and portfolio visits.
• Hedge funds and fund managers visiting regulators, banks and counterparties.
• Family-office principals, often with one chauffeur for the full day.
• Visiting sovereign and pension fund teams on a fixed programme.
• Real estate developers hosting investors on site tours.

Assure has been operating for 10+ years, from an office in Al Garhoud about 3 km from DXB Terminal 3.

Which investment hubs do these teams visit?

Three centres come up in almost every programme. Each has its own address, legal framework and way in.

DIFC, Dubai. The Dubai International Financial Centre was established in 2004 and runs on an English common law framework. DIFC reports more than 10,000 active registered companies. Most visits are meetings, with the chauffeur waiting near the drop-off point.

ADGM, Al Maryah Island, Abu Dhabi. ADGM applies English common law directly and has its own courts. The financial centre sits on Al Maryah Island, on the Abu Dhabi side of your programme. Give us the exact building and entrance for each meeting.

Ras Al Khaimah. Investors ask about three names here:

• RAKEZ lists five zones: Al Ghail Industrial Zone, Al Hamra Industrial Zone, Al Hulaila Industrial Zone, Al Nakheel Business Zone and Al Hamra Business Zone.
• RAK ICC is the corporate registry for holding companies and foundations.
• Al Marjan Island is the master-developed resort island, where Marjan lists Pullman, Mövenpick and Rove resorts and Wynn Al Marjan Island.

For the Dubai side of a financial visit, our page on banks and financial services covers regulator and head-office days in more detail.

How long does it take to drive between the hubs?

Hub-to-hub drives decide how many meetings fit in a day. These are road distances and drive times without traffic, from OSRM routing on OpenStreetMap, checked on 25 October 2026.

From	To	Distance	Drive time
DIFC	ADGM, Al Maryah Island	about 141 km	about 90 minutes
DIFC	RAKEZ, Al Hamra Industrial Zone	about 93 km	about 72 minutes
DIFC	Al Marjan Island	about 89 km	about 74 minutes
DIFC	DXB	about 20 km	about 32 minutes
DIFC	Zayed International (AUH)	about 117 km	about 78 minutes
DIFC	RAK airport (RKT)	about 111 km	about 81 minutes
ADGM	Zayed International (AUH)	about 33 km	about 29 minutes
DXB	RAKEZ, Al Hamra Industrial Zone	about 83 km	about 75 minutes
DXB	Al Marjan Island	about 79 km	about 77 minutes
RAKEZ	Al Marjan Island	about 11 km	about 14 minutes
RAKEZ	RKT	about 35 km	about 33 minutes
Al Marjan Island	RKT	about 43 km	about 38 minutes

Weekday peaks on Sheikh Zayed Road and the E11 add time, and so do the toll gates. We plan a margin into every leg and agree it with your assistant before the day.

Can you plan a DIFC and ADGM roadshow in one day?

Yes, if the day has a fixed order and a fixed return time. DIFC to ADGM is about 90 minutes each way without traffic, so a full day holds two or three meetings in each city, not five.

1. Send the appointment list. Times, addresses, attendee names and any hard stops such as a flight.
2. Agree the order. We usually start in Dubai and leave for Abu Dhabi by mid-morning.
3. Confirm the cars. A lead car for the principal and a second car or van for the team.
4. Set the return. One drop-off time and place, with a margin for the road home.

A three-day programme across the emirates works the same way. Our guide to a three-day UAE investor roadshow shows how the legs fit together. For a full-day chauffeur the car and driver stay with your group from the first pickup to the last drop-off.

How do you set up a delegation or an LP visit?

For a group, we run a lead car and a support vehicle. The lead car is a Mercedes S-Class or BMW 7 Series for the principal or the most senior guest. A Mercedes V-Class carries a small team. A 13 or 19-seat Mercedes Sprinter carries a larger one, with luggage.

Group	Suggested set-up	Source of the vehicles
1 to 2 travellers	One S-Class or 7 Series	Assure fleet
3 to 6 travellers	S-Class lead plus a V-Class	Assure fleet
7 to 16 travellers	S-Class lead plus a 13 or 19-seat Sprinter	Assure fleet
17 or more travellers	S-Class lead plus a coach	Coach through our partner network, subject to availability

Chauffeurs wait in the arrivals hall or at the entrance with a name board, and the passenger list is agreed in advance. See the cars on our first class sedans page.

What about site visits to developments and free zones?

A site visit means long waits and a car that has to stay with your group. Tell us the addresses of the sites, the arrival times and how long the tour lasts. We send the route, the contact for gate access and the waiting time in the proposal.

A common programme is an airport pickup, a site tour in the morning, a lunch meeting and an evening transfer to a hotel. Developers hosting investors book all of it as one booking. If your property team also needs guest transfers, the hotel transport page covers contract shuttles and VIP arrivals for hotels and resorts.

Can a family office have a dedicated chauffeur?

Yes. A family office can ask for one named chauffeur for a principal, either for full days or on a standing arrangement. We agree the working hours, the car class, who covers days off, and how to reach the chauffeur out of hours in the contract. A standing arrangement sits under a chauffeur contract, so the family office signs once and the invoice arrives monthly.

On discretion: the chauffeur does not discuss passengers, destinations or conversations with anyone. If you need a written confidentiality clause, ask for it in the proposal and we confirm what we can commit to.

How do private jet arrivals work?

Send the operator, the tail number, the landing time and the terminal. The chauffeur is at the terminal before the aircraft arrives and follows the changes in your schedule. Our private jet terminals page lists the terminals in the UAE and the procedure for the car.

Commercial arrivals at DXB follow the usual meet and greet, and we track your flight number for delays.

Does the day run in your own cars in Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah?

Your car comes from the Assure fleet or our partner network, confirmed when you book. Partner cars are available through our partner network, subject to availability. A day that starts in Dubai usually runs in one car from pickup to drop-off, so the same chauffeur stays with your group.

Our guide to a business day in Ras Al Khaimah from Dubai shows how a RAKEZ morning and an Al Marjan Island afternoon fit around a return flight.

How does a firm book and pay?

1. Request a proposal. Send the firm’s name, the cities, the number of travellers and the typical programme.
2. Receive the written proposal. Cars, chauffeur arrangements, the rate basis and the notice periods.
3. Sign once. The company names the people who may book.
4. Book on WhatsApp or phone. The Assure desk is on +971 55 750 8797, 24/7.
5. Receive one invoice a month. Each trip can carry a deal, fund or cost-centre reference given at booking.

Rate basis and invoicing details are agreed in the contract, so procurement and finance can review them before the first trip.
