1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing our website at carlift.ae, initiating a WhatsApp conversation with Car Lift UAE, or using any of our car lift services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”).

If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use our services. These Terms apply to all passengers, corporate clients, and any other individuals or organisations who engage with Car Lift UAE in any capacity.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Car Lift UAE (“the Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), a transport services provider operating in the United Arab Emirates.

2. Service Description

Car Lift UAE provides organised shared car lift services within the United Arab Emirates, including but not limited to:

  • Ladies-only car lift services with optional female drivers
  • Family and school transport services
  • Corporate and staff transport solutions for businesses
  • Airport transfer services to and from UAE airports
  • Private car lift services for individual passengers

All services are provided by Car Lift UAE using its own fleet and affiliated drivers. Car Lift UAE is not a ride-hailing platform and does not operate as a technology intermediary between independent drivers and passengers.

Routes, timings, and pickup points are subject to availability and may change. We will provide reasonable notice of any significant changes to confirmed bookings.

3. Booking & Cancellation Policy

Booking

  • All bookings must be made via WhatsApp or our website contact form.
  • Daily car lift bookings must be confirmed by 9:00 PM the previous evening.
  • Monthly packages are confirmed upon receipt of payment.
  • Car Lift UAE reserves the right to refuse bookings at its sole discretion.

Cancellation by Passenger

  • Daily bookings cancelled before 10:00 PM the night before are fully refunded or credited.
  • Daily bookings cancelled after 10:00 PM may incur a cancellation fee of up to 50% of the trip cost.
  • Monthly package cancellations must be submitted in writing (WhatsApp or email) at least 5 business days before the next billing period.

Cancellation by Car Lift UAE

  • Car Lift UAE reserves the right to cancel any booking due to force majeure events, extreme weather, vehicle breakdowns, or driver unavailability.
  • In such cases, affected passengers will be notified as early as possible and offered a rescheduled ride or full refund.
