Abu Dhabi Airport Transfer: Private Chauffeur from Zayed International

From Terminal A to Yas, Saadiyat or Downtown Dubai, with one agreed fare and a driver who is already waiting.

Zayed International is a calm, modern airport, but the drive that follows can be long. Many arrivals are heading to Dubai, an hour and a half away or more. A Calibra Drive Abu Dhabi airport transfer gives you a private car and professional driver for the whole distance, whether you are going ten minutes to Yas Island or across the emirate line to the Marina. You know the price before you land. You know who is collecting you.

Routes

Where can I travel from Abu Dhabi airport by private car?

Abu Dhabi Airport to Yas Island, Saadiyat Island, the Corniche and Al Ain

Yas Island is the closest major drop, usually 10 to 15 minutes from Terminal A. Saadiyat’s resorts and the Louvre district are typically around 25 minutes; the Corniche and city hotels around 30 to 40. Al Ain is a longer run of roughly 90 minutes, and our SUVs make it a comfortable one.

Abu Dhabi Airport to Dubai: direct intercity transfer

This is our most requested Abu Dhabi route. A private Abu Dhabi to Dubai transfer runs about 75 minutes to Jebel Ali and Dubai Marina and closer to two hours for Downtown, traffic depending. One fare, no change of car. If you are flying out of Dubai instead, see our DXB and DWC airport transfers.

Cruise transfers: Zayed Port and the Abu Dhabi Cruise Terminal

We link AUH and city hotels with the Abu Dhabi Cruise Terminal at Zayed Port, with SUVs and vans sized for cruise luggage.
