Driver salary in UAE
Most driver ads in the United Arab Emirates pay AED 2,500 – 4,500 plus accommodation or allowance per month, and AED 5,000 – 7,000 for heavy-vehicle and executive drivers. Packages vary a lot: check whether housing, transport, medical insurance and annual flights are included or paid as an allowance, because that can change the real value by 30% or more.
