Nobody has reported it to us, and we don't list it as an operator. That means we have nothing on it — not that it is safe. Check it yourself before you send any money.

We have nothing on this one, so the checking is yours. Three things to do before any money moves.
Ask the company for its trade licence number and check it with the economic department of the emirate it says it is licensed in — in Dubai, the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), still often called the DED. Make sure the name, the activity and the expiry date on the licence match the company you are dealing with.
Car rental, airport transfers and other transport are also regulated by the RTA in Dubai, so ask for the RTA permit too.
Any one of these is a reason to stop and check. Several together is a reason to walk away.
Asks for a bank transfer, crypto or Western Union
A card payment can be disputed. These cannot easily be pulled back.
A price far below market
If it is much cheaper than everyone else, something is being left out of the price.
Work out the real all-in costNo licence shown, or a name that doesn't match
They won't show a trade licence, or the name on it is not the name you are dealing with.
A deposit demanded before you see the car
Pressure to pay up front, before you have seen the vehicle or the contract.
A brand-new website or Instagram with no history
A recent account, few real photos and no reviews you can trace back to real customers.
Refuses a signed contract
Won't put the price, the deposit and the terms in writing before you pay.
A card payment is the one you can most easily dispute with your bank if the car, the tour or the boat never turns up, or isn't what was described. Cash and bank transfers are the hardest to get back.
Companies in our directory have a public profile you can read before you pay, with any reviews and the details they publish themselves. Each profile shows what is and isn't verified.
Open the company directoryFile a claim with whatever you have — the booking, the receipt, the messages. We verify it, contact the company for its side, and publish the outcome either way.
