About Abu Dhabi Taxi
Abu Dhabi taxis are silver and white in colour, making them distinctive from Dubai's cream and red vehicles and Sharjah's cream and orange cabs. The fleet is metered and regulated. Drivers are licensed and the service is considered reliable for city travel within Abu Dhabi.
For intercity trips - particularly to Dubai - drivers will typically negotiate a rate rather than run the meter, as the meter fare would be very high for a 140 km journey. Always agree on a price before departing for long-distance trips.
Dubai to Abu Dhabi Private Alternative
For intercity transfers between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, a pre-booked private chauffeur offers significant advantages over hailing a taxi. You agree the price before travel, your driver arrives at your address, and there are no surprises in traffic.
Gulf Chauffeur covers Dubai to Abu Dhabi day trips from AED 1,000. This includes pickup anywhere in Dubai, the drive to Abu Dhabi, your driver waiting throughout the day, and the return to Dubai. We also handle one-way transfers - useful for Abu Dhabi residents heading to DXB airport, or for business travellers with flexible return plans.
