My go-to place for direct currency exchange is UAE Exchange, and they're all over the place including the Dubai airport.

Can anyone confirm whether or not the airport taxis accept credit cards? According to my hotel concierge, they do not:

"Dubai Taxi is also accessible from all the terminal in Dubai international Airport, they are all located just exactly outside the arrival hall of each terminal. The drive from Dubai International Airport to XXX takes about approximately 15- 20 minutes and it would cost approximately AED 50 to AED 70 depending on the traffic. Please note that Taxi in Dubai Airport will only accept payment in Cash."

Thanks.
