Taxi Alternative
in Abu Dhabi
A car and driver booked in advance, instead of the rank. The fare is settled before you leave, and your chauffeur waits in arrivals at Zayed International holding your name.
What changes when the car is booked
In Abu Dhabi the difference is not the car, it is everything around it. A booked ride is paid for before you get in, the driver has your flight number and the exact address, and the car waits where you step out. None of that gets decided at the kerb.
Five differences
you notice on arrival
Whether you land at Zayed International or start from the centre of Abu Dhabi, the same five points separate an improvised ride from a prepared one.
- The amount is known and confirmed before you book, whatever the traffic.
- Your driver tracks the flight number and moves the pick-up if the aircraft is late.
- You are met inside arrivals with your name displayed, not in a car park away from the terminal.
- The car stops at the exact address, with luggage carried to the door.
- The same driver can stay with you all day, which removes any search for a car between appointments.

How is this different from a taxi in Abu Dhabi?
The ride is booked ahead and the amount is settled before departure. Your driver tracks the flight, meets you inside arrivals and stops at the exact address. You do not look for a car and you do not discover the fare on arrival.
How is the rate set?
The rate is calculated on your exact route and confirmed in writing before you book. It does not move for traffic or for waiting time at the airport.
Can I book at short notice?
Booking is open around the clock and we regularly handle same-day requests in Abu Dhabi. A day's notice is still worth having during major trade fairs and peak weeks.
Do your drivers speak English?
Yes, our drivers in Abu Dhabi speak English, with French or Arabic on request. Tell us which language you prefer when booking and we assign the driver accordingly.
