Bolt Launches Limousine Ride Hailing in Abu Dhabi

Estonia-based ride-sharing service Bolt has launched app-based limousine ride-hailing services in Abu Dhabi, allowing residents and visitors to book rides through a network of licensed fleet operators, drivers, and vehicles. According to the company, taxi services are also expected to launch in the coming weeks as the platform expands its operations in the capital through a partnership with Dubai Taxi Company.
The rollout follows Bolt’s expansion in Dubai, where 1,823 National Taxi vehicles were integrated into the platform during the first quarter of 2026. Dubai Taxi Company stated that e-hailing activity across its taxi and limousine divisions grew 24% year-on-year during 2025, with an additional 9% increase recorded in the first quarter of 2026.
Dubai Taxi Company said the expansion forms part of wider plans to increase accessible mobility services for residents, visitors, and businesses across the UAE. The company currently operates more than 11,000 vehicles across taxi, limousine, bus, and delivery bike services, including over 6,800 taxis.
According to the company, its taxi and limousine divisions completed 53 million trips during 2025, while the operator holds approximately 47% of Dubai’s taxi market by fleet size.
