Ajman Transport Info
Ajman Taxi Number and Contact
Ajman taxi contact numbers, transport authority information, and what to do when you need a reliable intercity transfer to Dubai.
Ajman Taxi Contact Numbers
Ajman's taxis are regulated by the Ajman Transport Authority and run by licensed operators, principally Arabia Taxi. The booking number is 600 599 997, a toll free line that handles bookings, complaints and suggestions around the clock. The emirate has a smaller fleet than Dubai or Sharjah, so availability tightens during peak commute windows.
How to Book an Ajman Taxi by Phone
Phone booking still matters in Ajman, because much of the emirate is residential and street hailing away from the corniche and the malls is unreliable. The call is short if you have the details ready.
- Dial 600 599 997. The line is open 24 hours.
- Give your pickup point. A building or compound name plus the nearest main road is more useful than a street number, since Ajman addressing outside the central districts is patchy.
- State your destination, and say if it is outside Ajman. Dubai and Sharjah runs are accepted, but flagging it up front avoids a driver turning it down on arrival.
- Confirm passenger numbers so the right vehicle is dispatched.
- Confirm the time, then note the plate number when the car is assigned. Ajman taxis run on the meter, so the fare is set by the trip rather than quoted up front.
Booking an Ajman Taxi by App
The Transport Authority has pushed hard on app booking, and it has worked: smart app requests now account for well over a million Ajman taxi trips a year. The authority publicly launched taxi hailing through the Yango app, and Careem and Uber also cover the emirate, alongside Ajman's own government digital platforms which carry transport services in the same place as the rest of the emirate's e-services.
The practical advantage of an app in Ajman is the map pin. It removes the address problem entirely, which is the single most common cause of a delayed or failed pickup in the emirate's residential districts and industrial areas.
Complaints and Lost Property
The operator lists 600 599 997 for complaints and suggestions as well as bookings, so the same number covers a driver complaint, a fare dispute or an item left in the car. The broader route into any Ajman government service is the government call centre on 80070, reachable by phone, by email at 80070@ajman.ae, or through the government's online chat.
As anywhere in the UAE, the plate number is what makes a report actionable. Note it, along with the date, the approximate time, and both ends of your trip. If you booked through an app there is a trip record, which makes tracing a lost phone or wallet far quicker. Report the same day if you can, because the car will take many more fares before anyone looks under the seat.
Ajman Taxi Fares in Brief
Ajman taxis are metered on a tariff set by the Transport Authority, with a flag fall, a per-kilometre rate and a minimum charge. Short trips inside Ajman are cheap by UAE standards. The expensive journeys are the intercity ones, where time in traffic on the Sharjah corridor does most of the damage to the meter.
Ajman to Dubai typically lands between AED 70 and AED 130 depending on where in Dubai you finish, plus Salik at any toll gate you pass. Our Ajman to Dubai fare guide breaks that down by destination, and the UAE taxi fare guide compares tariffs across the emirates. For a step-by-step walkthrough of the booking process itself, see our Ajman taxi booking guide.
Airports from Ajman
Ajman has no airport of its own, so every flight starts with a drive. Sharjah International Airport is the nearest at roughly 15 km, often under 25 minutes when the roads are clear. Dubai International (DXB) is roughly 40 km, and the journey time swings between about 40 minutes and well over an hour depending on the Sharjah corridor.
An Ajman taxi will take you to either. The complication is the return: an Ajman-plated taxi cannot pick up passengers inside Dubai, so a driver collecting you from DXB has to be an Ajman car sent out empty, which is not how airport ranks work. That is why arrivals into DXB or Sharjah bound for Ajman are usually pre-booked. See our Dubai Airport transfers and Sharjah Airport transfers pages.
About Ajman Taxi
Ajman taxis operate within the emirate and can cross into Dubai, Sharjah, and other emirates. The fleet is licensed and metered, with fares set by the Ajman Transport Authority. Ajman is the smallest of the UAE's seven emirates and borders Sharjah to the north and south.
Because of Ajman's position, most taxi journeys from Ajman to Dubai pass through Sharjah first - adding distance and transit time. The main route uses the E11 (Al Ittihad Road) through Sharjah and into Deira, Dubai.
Ajman to Dubai: Journey Details
The distance from central Ajman to Deira (Dubai) is approximately 30 to 35 km. To Business Bay or DIFC it is closer to 50 km. Off-peak, the drive takes 35 to 60 minutes. During morning rush hour, the same trip easily takes 90 minutes or more due to congestion on the Sharjah-Dubai corridor.
Peak availability issues: between 7am and 9am, many Ajman taxi drivers are already committed to Sharjah routes. Finding a free taxi willing to go all the way to Dubai during this window can be difficult.

Common Questions
Ajman Taxi FAQ
What is the Ajman taxi number?
The Ajman taxi number is 600 599 997, the toll free booking line of the Ajman Transport Authority. It is listed by Arabia Taxi, the licensed operator running the Ajman fleet, and it takes bookings 24 hours a day. Give your pickup point, your destination, the time and the number of passengers. Verify the current number at ta.gov.ae or the Ajman government portal ajman.ae before travelling, as UAE transport numbers change periodically.
Is there an Ajman taxi app?
Yes. The Ajman Transport Authority takes taxi requests through the emirate's own digital platforms, and Ajman taxis also appear on the major ride-hailing apps. The authority publicly launched taxi hailing through Yango, and Careem and Uber cover the emirate too. App bookings now account for well over a million Ajman taxi trips a year, so the phone line is no longer the only sensible route.
Who operates taxis in Ajman?
The Ajman Transport Authority regulates the emirate's taxis and licenses operators to run the fleet, with Arabia Taxi the principal one. Arabia Taxi's Ajman office is in the Al Musarif commercial area, P.O. Box 6555, on +971 6 740 8000, with the email arabia@arabiaholdings.ae. That is an administrative contact. For a ride, use the booking line 600 599 997 or one of the apps.
How do I complain about an Ajman taxi or report a lost item?
Complaints and lost property both go through the booking line 600 599 997, which the operator lists for bookings and for complaints and suggestions. The Ajman government call centre on 80070 (email 80070@ajman.ae) is the wider route into every Ajman government service, including the Transport Authority. Have the plate number, the date and time, and your pickup and drop-off points ready, and report a lost item the same day if you can.
Which airport do I use from Ajman?
Ajman has no airport of its own. Sharjah International Airport is the closest, roughly 15 km away and often under 25 minutes off-peak. Dubai International (DXB) is roughly 40 km, and journey time swings hard with traffic on the Sharjah corridor. An Ajman taxi can take you to either, but it cannot pick up passengers inside Dubai for the return, which is why airport runs out of Ajman are often pre-booked instead.
How much does a taxi from Ajman to Dubai cost?
An Ajman to Dubai taxi typically costs AED 70 to AED 130 depending on your pickup point in Ajman and destination in Dubai. During peak hours, the metered fare rises as time in traffic increases. App-based rides may apply surge pricing on busy mornings.
Can an Ajman taxi go to Dubai?
Yes, Ajman taxis are licensed to travel to Dubai. However, they cannot pick up passengers in Dubai for the return journey. This means the driver must return to Ajman empty, which can sometimes make drivers reluctant to take the trip during congested periods.
How long does it take from Ajman to Dubai?
Without traffic, Ajman to most parts of Dubai takes 35 to 60 minutes. During morning rush hour (7am to 9am) or evening rush (5pm to 8pm), the journey can take 90 minutes or more. Ajman is adjacent to Sharjah, which adds to the congestion on the E11 and E311 routes into Dubai.
Is there a private driver option from Ajman to Dubai?
Yes. Gulf Chauffeur provides private transfers from Ajman to Dubai and across the UAE. Pre-book via WhatsApp with your pickup address, destination in Dubai, date, and time. We confirm a fixed price - no meter, no surge pricing. Ideal for regular commuters, airport runs, and business travel.
