Dubai, United Arab Emirates – Usage of professional chauffeur services available through Dubai-based mobility marketplace OneClickDrive increased by approximately 18% during identified peak business travel periods in 2025, based on booking activity recorded on the platform.
The increase was observed across bookings placed with independent, licensed chauffeur service providers operating through the marketplace and coincided with periods of elevated corporate travel activity in Dubai.
Overview of the Observed 2025 Increase
The approximately 18% increase reflects higher usage of OneClickDrive chauffeur service during specific periods associated with increased business travel demand in 2025. The measurement is based on booking and usage activity recorded on a digital marketplace that connects customers with third-party chauffeur service providers.
OneClickDrive operates as a marketplace rather than a transport operator and does not own vehicles or employ drivers. The platform provides access to multiple independent suppliers, each responsible for service delivery.
Business Travel Patterns Influencing Chauffeur Demand
Peak business travel periods in Dubai are characterized by increased movement between commercial districts, airports, hotels, and residential areas. During these periods, time sensitivity and schedule reliability become more critical for corporate users and visiting professionals.
Observed booking patterns indicate that chauffeur-driven transport was used more frequently for routine business-related travel during such periods, rather than being limited to occasional or ceremonial use.
Dubai’s Role as a Regional Business and Transit Hub
Dubai serves as a regional centre for finance, trade, logistics, and professional services, with a high volume of short-term business visitors and project-based professionals. The city’s transport demand is shaped by frequent international arrivals, multiple commercial zones, and extensive daily commuting between districts.
This environment contributes to concentrated periods of mobility demand, particularly during conferences, exhibitions, and high-activity business cycles.
Preference for Service-led Mobility in Dense Urban Environments
During high-activity periods, chauffeur services are often selected in dense urban settings where traffic congestion, parking availability, and navigation complexity can introduce uncertainty into travel schedules. Industry observers note that service-led transport can reduce variability in journey times during peak congestion periods, particularly for users managing multiple meetings or airport transfers within a single day.
Data Sources and Measurement Context
The increase is derived from booking and usage activity recorded on the marketplace that aggregates independent chauffeur service providers operating in Dubai. The data reflects observed usage patterns during identified peak business travel periods in 2025.
The figures do not represent completed journeys and have not been independently audited. The measurement captures relative changes in usage rather than total market size.
Independent Interpretation of Chauffeur Usage Trends
Transport analysts say increases in chauffeur service usage during peak business periods are consistent with broader trends in professional mobility, such as monthly car rental options in Dubai, where flexibility and predictability are prioritised over vehicle ownership.
Similar patterns have been observed in other global business hubs, where chauffeur-driven transport is increasingly used for routine corporate travel during high-demand periods.
Limitations and near-term considerations
The data reflects booking activity rather than fulfilled trips and remains sensitive to external factors such as airline capacity, corporate travel budgets, economic conditions, and seasonal fluctuations in business activity.
Usage levels outside peak periods were more variable, and future trends may be influenced by changes in remote working practices, travel policies, and regulatory developments affecting transport services.
