Airport transfers
Transfers from Abu Dhabi to Dubai International Airport
Flying out of Dubai International Airport at the end of a stay in Abu Dhabi means a drive up the coast before the check-in queue. Business travellers with a morning departure, families who have spent the week on Yas Island or Saadiyat, and groups heading home together use a private car for this leg because the pickup is from an address they give rather than a rank they have to find. Set the pickup time by working back from the departure, enter the passengers, and the vehicle list follows. If you searched for a taxi from Abu Dhabi to Dubai airport, this is the pre-booked version: a set vehicle, with the total fixed before you set off.

About this transfer
Give the pickup address exactly. Abu Dhabi's hotels spread from the Corniche on the main island out to Yas and Saadiyat, and the driver needs the building, not just the district. Then work back from the flight: the time the airline asks you to be at the airport, the road between the cities, and a margin for traffic leaving Abu Dhabi and entering Dubai. Dubai International Airport sits in the north-east of Dubai, close to Deira and the Creek, which means the car crosses nearly the whole city before it reaches the terminals. Check which terminal your airline uses before you confirm the drop-off; they are not all on the same side of the airfield. If you are travelling with more bags than you arrived with, say so when you choose the vehicle. Meet & Greet at Dubai International Airport can be booked for the same flight date on AI Concierge alongside this transfer. The reverse leg, from the airport down to Abu Dhabi at the start of a trip, has its own page with its own pickup time.
