How much is a chauffeur from Dubai or DXB to Abu Dhabi?
DXB ↔ Abu Dhabi is a fixed AED 475 by Lexus in either direction. The fare includes fuel, Salik, Darb tolls and the direct one-way drop-off.
The Dubai to Abu Dhabi run is one of the most-booked routes on Chauffeurr — business meetings at ADGM and ADNOC HQ, embassy appointments, F1 weekends at Yas Marina, Louvre Abu Dhabi day trips and onward connections at Abu Dhabi International (AUH). DXB ↔ Abu Dhabi is a fixed AED 475 by Lexus in either direction, with no surge and no toll surprises on direct drops.
Every chauffeur knows the route — Sheikh Zayed Road (E11), the alternate Emirates Road (E611) when traffic dictates, and the fastest in-city approaches into ADGM, Saadiyat Island, Yas Island and the Corniche. We track traffic in real time and re-route to keep you on schedule for that 9am meeting.
For a same-day return, our most popular package is a Dubai → Abu Dhabi → Dubai charter with up to 6 hours of waiting time in Abu Dhabi — same chauffeur, same vehicle, one fixed price from AED 1,400 in an E-Class. Ideal for board meetings, court hearings or a long lunch at Emirates Palace.

Never-miss reliability
How we never miss The ride that cannot be missed.
On-time guarantee
Chauffeur staged 15 minutes before pickup, every time. If we make you late for a flight or meeting, the ride is on us.
Strict no-cancellation
Once your booking is confirmed, we never cancel on you. Driver illness or vehicle issue triggers an immediate backup dispatch — not a refund and goodbye.
Backup car protocol
A second vehicle is held on standby for every flight pickup, wedding, FBO transfer and time-critical inter-emirate run. Mechanical failure adds zero minutes.
Live flight tracking
Pickup auto-adjusts to your actual landing time across DXB, DWC, AUH, SHJ and DWC FBOs. 60 minutes of free wait after wheels-down on every transfer.
How global travel programmes use us
Local accountability instead of global subcontracting
This page covers intercity · uae. The operating model behind it is the same everywhere we work in the Emirates, and it is the reason international travel programmes route their UAE legs to us.
When a traveller books premium ground transport through a worldwide platform, the company taking the payment is almost never the company driving the car. The local leg is passed to whichever supplier is available, and nobody in the destination market owns the outcome. Chauffeurr removes that layer: we operate only in the United Arab Emirates, with vehicles licensed to us, chauffeurs employed by us and a dispatch desk sitting in Dubai on local time.
That is why international networks, hotel concierge teams, travel management companies and corporate travel departments keep their global tooling and hand the UAE portion to a specialist. They get a single accountable operator for every emirate, licence documentation on request, and an operations contact who can reroute a car in real time rather than escalate a ticket overnight.
For travellers it shows up as detail: chauffeurs who know the correct tower entrance, the community gates that need a pass logged in advance, where a car can legally wait through a long meeting, and how much time a route genuinely needs at peak. Fares are fixed before departure with Salik, parking and fuel included, so the price quoted is the price invoiced.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long does the drive from Dubai to Abu Dhabi take?
Door-to-door is typically 90 minutes from Downtown Dubai to Abu Dhabi corniche, depending on traffic on Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) and the Dubai-Abu Dhabi border. We monitor traffic in real time and re-route to keep you on schedule.
Is the Dubai-Abu Dhabi chauffeur cheaper than a taxi?
A Dubai RTA taxi to Abu Dhabi typically costs AED 250-350 one-way but cannot pick you up inside Abu Dhabi for the return — you would need a separate Abu Dhabi taxi back. Chauffeurr offers a fixed round-trip price with the same driver, no second booking, and a luxury saloon instead of a hatchback.
Can I book a return same-day Dubai-Abu Dhabi chauffeur?
Yes — popular for business meetings at Etihad Towers, ADGM, ADNOC HQ and embassy visits. Book a 'Dubai → Abu Dhabi → Dubai (with wait)' charter from AED 1,400 in an E-Class for up to 6 hours, including all tolls, parking and the same chauffeur both ways.
Do you offer Abu Dhabi to Dubai pickups?
Yes. We pick up from Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH), the corniche, Yas Island, Saadiyat Island, ADNEC, ADGM and any private address with the same fixed-fare model. WhatsApp +971 (50) 239 0670 for a 5-minute quote.
Is the toll (Darb / Salik) included in the price?
Yes. All Salik tolls in Dubai and Darb tolls in Abu Dhabi are included in the fixed fare. You will never see a surcharge added after the ride.
