Our Story

Classic Group of Companies

Established in Dubai in 2006, Classic Group of Companies has grown from a specialist chauffeur provider into the UAE's most trusted corporate ground transportation group. With a combined fleet exceeding 300 vehicles and more than 400 licensed chauffeurs, we operate across all seven Emirates from our headquarters in Al Khawaneej, Dubai.

Our roots are in corporate travel — the demanding, high-stakes kind where a missed pickup or the wrong vehicle has real consequences. That operational discipline is why multinational companies, government bodies, five-star hotel groups, and diplomatic missions have stayed with us for years, and why many of our earliest client relationships remain active today.

In 2009, we founded Al Marwa Garage — a dedicated 12,300 sq ft maintenance facility — bringing all fleet servicing and inspection entirely in-house. In 2017, we expanded to Abu Dhabi, and our JAFZA branch has long served the industrial and logistics community at Jebel Ali. Every entity in the group shares the same operating standards, the same trained workforce, and the same commitment to making every journey seamless.

Infrastructure

Operations & Infrastructure

Operational continuity is engineered into every layer of the business. Our infrastructure ensures that a booking placed at 2 a.m. is dispatched, tracked, and delivered with the same reliability as one placed during business hours.

Al Marwa Garage

Our 12,300 sq ft in-house facility in Dubai performs scheduled servicing, emergency repairs, pre-hire inspections, and cosmetic rectification. Every vehicle is cleared by a qualified mechanic before re-entering the active fleet pool — no vehicle operates with a deferred fault.

Real-Time Dispatch Platform

A dedicated fleet management system manages bookings, assigns the nearest available driver, and delivers full trip details to the chauffeur's device. Clients receive automated confirmations and driver details ahead of every journey.

Live GPS Tracking

Every vehicle carries a GPS transponder monitored by our operations centre around the clock. This enables proactive management of traffic delays, route adjustments, and live ETA updates for waiting clients or hotel concierge desks.

24/7 Operations Centre

Classic Group never closes. A staffed operations centre handles bookings, re-allocates vehicles in the event of disruption, coordinates with airport meet-and-greet teams, and manages last-minute changes regardless of the hour.

Corporate Partners

Why Corporates Choose Us

Dedicated Account Management

Every corporate account is assigned a named account manager who handles escalations, produces monthly reporting, and manages contract renewals. Clients are never routed through a generic queue — there is always a single point of contact who knows your account.

Monthly Consolidated Billing

Purchase-order-friendly invoicing with itemised trip reports and end-of-month statements simplifies the finance and procurement process for large organisations. We work to your billing cycle, not ours.

Confidentiality as Policy

Passenger manifests, travel itineraries, and movement patterns are never shared with third parties. From our dispatch platform to our chauffeurs' conduct, discretion is built into every touchpoint.

Written Service-Level Agreements

We commit to on-time performance benchmarks, vehicle condition standards, and chauffeur presentation requirements in writing, and we report against them monthly. Clients know exactly what they have contracted for.

Pan-UAE Coverage

With operations in Dubai, JAFZA, and Abu Dhabi, and the ability to serve all seven Emirates from a single account relationship, Classic Group is the only chauffeur partner your organisation needs.
