DUBAI / AIRPORT GUIDE
Dubai International airport transfers
Your arrival at Dubai International begins with a flight, but a useful transfer plan continues all the way to the correct property entrance. Start with DXB on your itinerary, the full destination address and the details that make your journey different. Belgravia Transfers accepts enquiries so you can ask about arrangements before deciding how to travel.
- Fixed quote agreed before you travel
- Flight-aware pickup planned around your arrival time
- Meeting point confirmed in writing
- Right vehicle for your passengers and luggage
Check the airport, then build the journey
Dubai International uses the airport code DXB. Dubai World Central–Al Maktoum International uses DWC and is a separate airport. Check the code on the flight you will actually take rather than relying on the city name. If your itinerary includes a connection, distinguish your arrival in Dubai from any earlier leg.
Keep the airline, flight number and arrival date together. Where the airline supplies terminal information, include it in your enquiry and check for changes before departure. This page does not provide a fixed meeting point: that must come from your confirmed arrangements.
If you are comparing options before you land, read Dubai airport to hotel transfer costs and our Dubai airport transfer with child seats guide. Prefer to be met inside the terminal? See the Dubai airport meet and greet service.
Landing and being ready to leave are different
An arrival time describes a flight milestone; it does not say when every passenger will have completed arrival formalities and collected their belongings. Consider checked luggage, travelling companions and the time needed to orient yourself after the flight. Avoid building an important appointment around an assumed instant exit.
Save essential journey details where you can consult them if mobile data is unavailable. Ask how the meeting instructions will be provided, which party you should contact if circumstances change and what information to use when locating the agreed meeting point. Confirm the answers before travelling.
Send a quote request that describes the real journey
Include DXB, your travel date, flight number, passenger count and destination name with its full address. Describe luggage in practical terms: suitcases, cabin bags and any unusually bulky items. If particular assistance or equipment is necessary, explain the requirement and ask whether it can be accommodated; an enquiry does not establish availability.
A quotation is easier to assess when its scope is clear. Ask what the proposed arrangement includes, which terms apply and what would require a revised quotation. Provide travel details needed to understand the journey rather than identity documents, payment information or unrelated personal information.
Choose a destination-specific planning guide
For a landmark-led stay, read the DXB to Downtown Dubai route guide. For a tower or apartment arrival, the DXB to Dubai Marina guide focuses on building names and check-in locations. For a hotel or residence on Palm Jumeirah, use that route guide to clarify the destination and property arrival details. Each guide helps you prepare an enquiry; it does not confirm that a transfer is booked.
Is DXB the same airport as DWC?
No. Dubai International is DXB; Dubai World Central–Al Maktoum International is DWC. Use the airport code from your itinerary when requesting a quote.
Where will I meet a transfer at DXB?
Use the instructions supplied with confirmed arrangements. Ask for the meeting procedure before travelling rather than relying on a general guide or an assumed terminal location.
Does sending an enquiry reserve a transfer?
Treat your request as an enquiry until the proposed arrangements and confirmation have been established. Ask which details and terms apply to your journey.
Not sure which terminal you are landing at? Our Dubai airport terminals guide explains Terminal 1, Terminal 2 and Terminal 3, including which have Metro stations.
A chauffeur service from Dubai airport is available for travellers who want a professional driver for onward meetings. Passengers joining a ship can see our Dubai cruise terminal guide, and hotel guests our Dubai hotel transfers overview.
Before you fly, read arriving at Dubai Airport step by step. On an early departure, one of the hotels near Dubai Airport can shorten the morning.

Private DXB transfers, departures and onward journeys
Belgravia accepts private Dubai International transfer enquiries for arrivals and departures. The useful brief is the whole airport-to-address journey: terminal where known, flight number and date, complete destination, passengers and bags. Confirm collection instructions with the agreed arrangement rather than assuming that an airport taxi rank is the private-transfer meeting point.
For a departure, give the collection address and flight details, then agree the pickup plan for the required airport arrival. If you request a return transfer, list both journeys separately. A return is not implied by a one-way quotation, and a date or route amendment may need a revised arrangement.
Read the family transfer guide for pushchairs and seating requests, and the quotation guide for inclusions and terms. An onward Abu Dhabi transfer needs an exact city or airport destination rather than the emirate name alone. For appointments after arrival, describe the later stops through our hourly chauffeur enquiry.
