Abu Dhabi taxi services

Abu Dhabi now has a centralized taxi booking service, visitors can call 02-600535353 to book a taxi. This number books a taxi for all the 7 taxi franchisee companies (the new silver colored taxi's).

Taxis that travel long distances - say from Abu Dhabi to Dubai - are available near the main bus station in Hazza Bin Zayed Road. Fares typically cost Dhs 150 from Abu Dhabi to Al Ain or Dubai, and slightly higher going to Sharjah. Shared taxis also ply these routes, costing around Dhs 50 per person. A taxi ride from the airport to the Abu Dhabi town centre costs approximately Dhs 65 and takes about 35 minutes.
Most drivers in Abu Dhabi speak good English. They are, however, more familiar with landmarks than street names hence, it always helps to mention parks, banks, shopping malls or hotel names when giving directions to your desired destination.

Driver's License

Individuals who have a driver's license from countries in America, Europe, a few other countries can transfer there driver's license to a UAE driver's license easily. More information below.
