What is the best way to get from Dubai to Abu Dhabi?

Private car service is the best way to get from Dubai to Abu Dhabi. It allows for flexibility, convenience, and the opportunity to turn your drive into an experience.

Is there a direct public transportation option from Dubai to Abu Dhabi?

There are direct bus options, which take on average 2 - 2.5 hours depending on traffic and route. While economical, this takes longer and is less flexible than a private car. There is currently no train service between Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

What should I expect to pay for a car service from Dubai to Abu Dhabi?

Prices vary depending on the vehicle, seasonality, and when you book, with the best prices available when booking in advance. For a one-way trip without sightseeing stops, you can expect to pay between $137 - $202. For a group of 7 passengers, the cost can be as low as $29 per seat, as Daytrip charges per vehicle, not per passenger.

How far is it from Dubai to Abu Dhabi?

The distance is 86 miles (139 km) along a scenic highway.

Can I stop along the way to take pictures or visit attractions?

You can ask your driver for quick photo stops along the way. If you’d like to visit a sightseeing stop, we recommend you to add these to your itinerary well in advance of your trip.

Are there any travel tips for making the journey more enjoyable?

We recommend you pack wisely with water, sunscreen, and light but modest clothing.

We screen all our drivers for criminal and traffic records, and personally interview each one. We also inspect their cars for safety, comfort, and reliability. All cars must be less than ten years old, in excellent operating condition, and insured as required by local law. And because our drivers are locals, they're familiar with the rules and customs of the road.
