Booking a taxi in Dubai has just become more convenient with the launch of a new feature by Hala, allowing commuters to hail a cab through WhatsApp. This innovative service aims to enhance the passenger experience by providing a seamless and accessible way to book rides at any time of day or night.

The New Booking Feature

Hala, a joint venture between the Roads and Transport Authority and Careem, has introduced this feature to tap into WhatsApp’s extensive user base in Dubai. According to Hala CEO Khaled Nuseibeh, this new channel will significantly improve how people commute in the city.

How to Book a Taxi via WhatsApp

Booking a taxi through WhatsApp is straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

  1. Initiate the Process: Send a message saying ‘Hi’ to 800 HALATAXI (4252 8294).
  2. Provide Location: The Hala chatbot will ask for your current location to facilitate the booking.
  3. Receive Confirmation: After processing your request, you will get a booking confirmation along with the driver’s details and estimated arrival time.
  4. Track Your Ride: Enjoy real-time updates and a live tracking link that can be shared with friends and family for added safety.

Benefits of the New Service

The introduction of WhatsApp taxi booking offers several advantages:

  • Convenience: Passengers can book rides without needing to download additional apps.
  • Accessibility: The service caters to a broader audience, including those who may not be familiar with traditional booking methods.
  • Enhanced Safety: Live tracking features provide peace of mind for passengers and their loved ones.

Conclusion
