Taxi

Taxis are the most commonly used mode of transportation to and from the airport. You can reach your hotel, the city centre, or any other destination comfortably by using a taxi. Taxi fares for travel to nearby neighbourhoods are generally low, however, it is important to keep in mind that taxi drivers receive a tip of up to 15%.

The shuttle service is another mode of transportation for those planning to travel to the airport from the city centre. If you want to get around the problem of transportation in a comfortable way, the shuttle service is an option to consider.   

Private Vehicle

Using your private vehicle is another option. The airport is located along Interstate 5 (I-5). You can drive to the airport by taking the State Route 163 (SR 163), the Interstate 8 (I-8), the I-15, and then by following directions. You can also park your vehicle at the airport’s car park area, but do note that car park fees are charged by the number of hours, days, and months.

Some airline companies flying to Abu Dhabi International Airport offer a free 24-hour shuttle service which you can benefit to go both to the airport and the city center.

City Bus

You can reach the city by taking buses A1, which depart from the airport every 40 minutes.

Taxi

Taxi is one of the alternatives that can be considered to reach the city. The most common means of transport in Abu Dhabi is taxi. However, since demand is high, you can wait for a long time under heat. Almost all the taxis accept credit cards. If you are traveling for business purposes, buying a voucher may be beneficial.

Car Rental

Renting a car is one of the most reasonable options for transportation in Abu Dhabi. Because the United Arab Emirates is a fortunate country in terms of oil reserves, oil prices are quite low.
