Fare Component	Daytime (6:00 AM – 10:00 PM)	Nighttime (10:00 PM – 6:00 AM)
Flagfall	AED 5.00	AED 5.50

How It Works

Think of it as your taxi crystal ball! Let’s say you’re heading from Downtown Dubai to the airport during the day. Here’s how the math works out:

• First up: AED 5.00 just for starting the trip
• Then: AED 1.82 × 10 km = AED 18.20 for the distance
• If you called to book: Add AED 4.00
• Grand total: Around AED 27.20

Pretty neat, right? The calculator handles all this math for you, plus it factors in things like traffic time and any toll gates you might pass through. It’s especially handy when you’re trying to decide between a regular taxi or treating yourself to one of those fancy airport ones!
