Booking a Dubai courier
Porter’s courier option is for parcels sent on demand. Check both endpoints, the load and the app quote before committing to an urgent delivery.
- Booking and delivery window
- Book when needed. Porter advertises 24/7 courier availability but no advance booking or specific scheduled time slot.
- Dubai route coverage
- The Dubai page names Downtown, JLT, International City, Deira, Al Qusais, Al Quoz and Jebel Ali among its service areas. Check both endpoints in the app; the page also lists Sharjah-area names and does not establish universal Dubai coverage.
- Extra charges and returns
- Check the route fare plus parking, any night surcharge, tolls and cancellation or return charges. Cancellation fees apply after five minutes from driver allocation; returned or rejected parcels can incur further costs.
- Parcel limits
- The Dubai courier category advertises a 20 kg weight limit; parcel dimensions and item acceptance must be confirmed in the app. Confirm parcel dimensions and acceptance in the app; a weight headline does not establish suitability for every item.
- Timing and liability
- Same-day delivery has no timeliness warranty. Two-wheeler terms cap specified direct-loss liability at AED 100 and advise insurance above that value. Treat delivery timing as subject to the accepted booking and current availability. Notify Porter of any insurance as required by the terms. Do not import the larger-value threshold from its separate general/truck terms.

The current courier FAQ says specific time slots are unavailable, and Porter’s booking FAQ says it does not provide advance booking. Book when needed, subject to vehicle availability.
What cover applies to two-wheeler parcels?
The two-wheeler terms cap specified direct-loss liability at AED 100 and advise arranging insurance for higher-value consignments, with the required notification to Porter. Check item acceptance and the policy terms before sending valuables.
