Why Shamsi Rides

The UAE's first child-first ride platform

No other service in the UAE combines verified female drivers, child safety protocols, and subscription scheduling — all in one app.

Female drivers, always

Every Shamsi driver is a verified woman — background-checked, child-safety trained, and CPR certified. Parents can request the same regular driver every week.

100% female network

Built for children under 12

A female companion or childminder rides alongside the driver for all children under 12. Car seats are fitted and inspected before every single ride — no exceptions.

Companion auto-assigned

Live tracking, every second

Real-time GPS on every ride. Parents see the driver's location from the moment she sets off. Door-to-door handoff means the driver waits until an adult confirms safe arrival.

Live parent dashboard

Subscription, not on-demand

Shamsi is a weekly subscription service — minimum 3 rides per week — so your child always has a reliable, familiar driver they know and trust.

From AED 149/mo

Closing the school activity gap

Working parents can't always leave early. Shamsi fills the gap between school hours and pick-up time — nurseries, swimming, coding clubs, summer camps, and more.

After-school specialists

Peace of mind, not just a ride

An in-app SOS button, WhatsApp alerts at every stop, and a post-ride safety report — so you're connected to every moment of your child's journey, even when you can't be there.

SOS always one tap away
How it works

Simple, safe, every week

Four steps from sign-up to your child's first safe ride.

1. Create profiles

Add your children's details, ages, safety needs, and preferred pickup location.

2. Choose your plan

Pick your subscription — Only Sunshine or My Sun and Moon — and select which days work for your family.

3. Meet your driver

A verified female driver is matched to your schedule. You see her profile, ratings, and can choose a regular driver your child loves.

4. Track every ride

Live GPS, WhatsApp alerts, door-to-door handoff, and a post-ride report — you're connected to every journey.

Safety promise

Safety isn't an add-on.
It's everything.

Every feature of Shamsi Rides was designed around one question: what would make a parent feel completely at ease?

Full background checks

Every driver is police-checked, identity-verified, and interviewed in person before joining the Shamsi network.

CPR & child safety training

All drivers and companions hold valid CPR certification and complete our child safety training programme before their first ride.

Car seat on every ride

Age-appropriate car seats are fitted and inspected before every journey. Parents can also bring their own — we accommodate both.

Door-to-door handoff

Your driver does not leave until an adult at the destination has confirmed your child's safe arrival — every single time.

Optional live cabin camera

Add live cabin camera access to your subscription. View a real-time feed from inside the vehicle during any ride.

One-tap SOS

The SOS button is always visible in the app — for parents and children. Instant alerts go to your emergency contact and Shamsi's safety team.
