Sharjah Taxi Number and Contact
Looking for the Sharjah taxi contact number or head office details? This page provides official Sharjah taxi information alongside a pre-booked private chauffeur alternative for when you need guaranteed transport.
Sharjah Taxi Contact Numbers
Sharjah has several licensed taxi operators regulated by the Sharjah Roads and Transport Authority (SRTA). The main operators are Sharjah Taxi (the primary government-affiliated service), City Taxi, and Emirates Taxi. Each can be contacted separately.
About Sharjah Taxi
Sharjah taxis are cream and orange in colour and are metered. The flag-fall rate differs from Dubai taxis, and fares are regulated by the SRTA. Taxis are available from taxi stands across Sharjah, from hotels, and through the SRTA app. You can also call the booking lines listed above to arrange a pickup.
Sharjah taxis can cross into Dubai, Ajman, and other emirates. However, drivers returning to Sharjah from Dubai cannot pick up passengers in Dubai - only in Sharjah. This sometimes affects availability at peak hours, as drivers prefer shorter trips within Sharjah.
When Official Taxis are Not Available
During peak hours, school drop-off times, and on weekday mornings, Sharjah taxis can be hard to find. If you are in a residential area, the wait can be long. If you need to cross into Dubai at rush hour, drivers may be reluctant to take the E11 or E311 when traffic is backed up.
For those situations - or for any trip where timing and reliability matter - Gulf Chauffeur provides a pre-booked private alternative. You arrange the pickup the night before or hours in advance. A GMC Yukon or Mercedes-Benz Vito arrives at your address at the time you specify. Fixed price, confirmed in advance, no waiting at a taxi stand.

Availability can be limited during peak hours, and taxis may be reluctant to cross into Dubai during busy periods.
