Dubai Taxi Company (DTC), together with its strategic partner Bolt, has entered into an alliance with Kabi by Al Ghurair and UAE-based ride-hailing app Zed to integrate their fleets and expand e-hailing services in Dubai.
Kabi is part of Al Ghurair, one of the region’s largest family-owned conglomerates with operations in more than 20 countries.
The agreement was signed by Mansoor Rahma Alfalasi, CEO of DTC, and Badr Al Ghurair, CEO of Kabi, Al Ghurair Mobility. The partnership will see DTC’s 6,200 taxis and Kabi’s 3,680 taxis integrated into Bolt and Zed platforms, with future additions to both fleets automatically included.
The collaboration aims to boost availability, cut waiting times and improve overall service efficiency. It also supports the Dubai Government’s target of converting 80 per cent of taxi trips to e-hailing as part of the Roads and Transport Authority’s vision for smart mobility and sustainability.

“At DTC, we are committed to driving innovation and building partnerships that enhance customer experience while strengthening Dubai’s mobility ecosystem,” Alfalasi said. He added that the agreement comes as Dubai’s taxi sector recorded 7 per cent growth in H1 2025 compared with the same period in 2024, according to the RTA.
“This partnership represents a pivotal step in uniting industry expertise to serve the evolving needs of Dubai’s residents and visitors,” said Badr Al Ghurair. “By combining our resources and leveraging advanced technologies, we are not only expanding the availability of taxis but also setting new benchmarks in efficiency, service quality, and sustainability.”
DTC, recognised as a public joint stock company under Law No (21) of 2023, operates more than 10,000 vehicles including 6,200 taxis and completed 49 million trips in 2024.
