Airport Transfers
Private, fixed-price transfers from Zayed International Airport (AUH) to hotels and addresses in Abu Dhabi, with professional drivers and flight monitoring.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Zayed International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Zayed International Airport, known until February 2024 as Abu Dhabi International, is about 30 km east of central Abu Dhabi.
Getting from Zayed International Airport to Abu Dhabi means about 30 km to the center, so the choice is usually between a taxi, public transport and a pre-booked private transfer. A private transfer is the one to book when you want the price settled before you fly: it is fixed per vehicle, your driver is waiting after arrivals, and the vehicle is sized to your party and luggage (Sedan, SUV or Private Van).
A private shuttle from Zayed International Airport is reserved for your party alone, unlike a shared shuttle that collects other passengers and stops at several hotels. It suits families, groups and anyone with a lot of luggage who wants to go straight to one address.
Our standard private transfer. Room for a family and their luggage.
from USD 75.00

Entry requirements to the UAE depend on your nationality and your passport. Check the UAE's official visa information before you travel, and keep your documents with you for immigration, which comes before baggage claim and your driver.
