When a single vehicle needs to move a crowd, a double decker carrying up to 72 passengers can replace two smaller coaches and keep your whole group together. Our double decker bus hire in Dubai suits festival shuttles, large event transfers, weddings and corporate days where both capacity and a memorable arrival matter.
UAE Bus Hire operates from Business Bay, Dubai, and covers all seven emirates. Every quote includes the driver, fuel, Salik tolls, CDW, liability insurance, breakdown assistance and 24/7 support by phone and WhatsApp, so the figure you agree is the figure you plan around.

Shuttles for large events and festivals
Concerts, sports fixtures, exhibitions and festivals tend to create two pressure points: the arrival rush and the moment everyone wants to leave at once. A double decker with up to 72 seats clears a queue faster than a fleet of minibuses, and fewer vehicles means fewer bays to arrange at the venue.
Most event clients run the bus on a loop between a hotel, car park or metro station and the venue entrance. Tell us your expected headcount, the hours the shuttle should run and where passengers will gather, and we will suggest whether one double decker is enough or whether pairing it with a coach of 35–56 seats makes the loop more reliable.
- Looped shuttles between hotels, car parks and venues
- Single-run transfers for delegates or ticket holders
- Return journeys timed around the end of an event
- Combinations with other fleet sizes for very large crowds
Weddings and corporate days that need a standout vehicle
A double decker draws attention on arrival, which is exactly why couples and companies book one. For weddings, it can carry guests from the hotel to the ceremony and on to the reception in one trip, so nobody is left waiting for a second car. Many couples also like it as a backdrop for group photographs before guests board.
Corporate teams use the same appeal for product launches, staff celebrations and team days, where a large branded group arriving together makes an impression. If you are planning the full programme for a wedding or event, our wedding and event coach hire page explains how we coordinate several vehicles across one day.
Specific styling, decoration or interior features depend on the vehicle allocated to your booking, so please ask about them when you request a quote rather than assuming they are available.
Capacity: how far do 72 seats go?
Our double decker seats up to 72 passengers, the largest single vehicle in the fleet. Treat that as a ceiling rather than a target: if your guest list is close to 72, allow for late additions and for anyone carrying bulky items, then confirm the final number with us before the day.
If your group is smaller, another vehicle may be a better fit. Our coaches seat 35–56, midi-coaches 22–33 and minibuses 16–19. For groups beyond 72, we can combine a double decker with a coach or midi-coach so everyone travels at the same time.
- Double decker: up to 72 seats
- Coach: 35–56 seats
- Midi-coach: 22–33 seats
- Minibus: 16–19 seats
- MPV / van: 6–12 seats
Route suitability and pick-up points
A double decker is taller and longer than a standard coach, so it is happiest on main roads, hotel forecourts and venue drop-off zones designed for large vehicles. Narrow residential streets, tight basement entrances and some older districts can be harder to reach.
Before confirming, we look at your pick-up and drop-off addresses and the route between them. Where a door-to-door stop is not practical, we will propose a nearby meeting point with safe space to board. Share any venue access instructions or loading-bay details early, as large venues often allocate coach parking in advance.
