How Much Does a Private Concierge in Dubai Cost? Membership vs Pay-per-Request
Global concierge clubs charge from £2,000 to $210,000 a year. In Dubai there is another model — no membership fee, you pay per request. Here is which one makes sense for you.
A private concierge in Dubai costs either an annual membership — from about £2,000 to over $200,000 a year at international clubs — or nothing up front, if you use an on-request concierge such as Obsidians Concierge: you pay only for what you book, with the service built into a written, all-in quote and an invoice from a licensed UAE company.
TWO WAYS TO PAY FOR A CONCIERGE
Membership. You pay a yearly fee for access to a lifestyle manager, then pay separately for every ticket, table or flight. Published 2026 prices: Quintessentially roughly £2,000–£25,000+ a year depending on tier; Pure Entertainment Group from $12,000; Knightsbridge Circle from $55,000 plus a $25,000 joining fee, and $210,000 for a one-to-one manager. A membership makes sense if you live between several cities and send requests every week.
Pay per request. No yearly fee. You send a request — a Paddock Club pass, a yacht for Saturday, a car from the airport — and receive a quote with the final price. The concierge's margin is inside that price. This is how Obsidians works in Dubai: you pay when you book, not to stay a member.
WHAT YOU ACTUALLY PAY FOR IN DUBAI
Typical starting points we quote: a yacht from AED 850–1,100 per hour with a 3-hour minimum; VIP airport meet & greet with fast track at DXB; a chauffeur by the hour, day or full visit; a private jet priced per route. Every quote states what is included — VAT, transfers, service — so the number on the quote is the number on the invoice.
HOW TO CHECK THE PRICE IS FAIR
Ask for a written quote with every item listed. Ask who issues the invoice and which licence they hold — Obsidians is operated by TRIPS FACTORY TOURISM LLC, licensed by Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism (licence 890349). Pay by bank transfer to a UAE business account or by card, never in cash to an individual. Read our guide to ticket and VIP scams in Dubai before paying anyone.
WHICH MODEL TO CHOOSE
If you visit Dubai a few times a year, or need one event, one yacht, one transfer — pay per request. If you have a family office and several homes, a membership may be worth it. Many of our clients are members of a global club and still book Dubai through a local concierge who is on the ground.
