There are a lot of threads already on here about DTC, RTA and their varied apps that may help your research.

If you don't want to hail a taxi by flagging down on the road, you could either call the RTA booking centre or speak to hotel, concierge, shop or property you may be at.

If you are looking at using a ride hailing app like Careem or Uber, you won't get the cheapest prices (as you're paying for the convenience, or possibly better vehicles or even surge pricing).

Careem App

Order the Hala taxi.

It also allows you to order food etc.
