Car Lift Dubai to Abu Dhabi, Door to Door
A shared seat costs AED 100 one way and the whole car costs AED 200. We collect you at your building and set you down at your office door, so there is no station to reach first. The drive covers about 140 km on the E11 and takes 90 to 120 minutes, with fuel, Salik and Darb already inside the price you agree before you travel.

The Route
How Long the Drive Takes, and Who Takes It
90 minutes is the honest figure for an early start and two hours is the honest figure once the road fills. It is about 140 km of the E11, which most people still call Sheikh Zayed Road, and the slowest stretch is usually the approach to the emirate border at Ghantoot.
Most riders work in one emirate and live in the other. Morning cars collect in Business Bay, DIFC, Jumeirah Lakes Towers, Dubai Marina and Deira, and reach Khalifa City, Al Reem Island, Al Raha Beach, Mussafah and the Corniche inside the window you book. Evening cars run the same way back.
You choose the time. Send the hour you need to arrive and we work backwards from it. The fare comes back before the journey and does not change because of traffic, and the driver name, photo and plate reach you before pickup.
Fares
How Much Is a Car Lift From Dubai to Abu Dhabi?
A shared seat is AED 100 one way and AED 200 for a same day return. A private car is AED 200 one way and AED 350 for a same day return. A held seat for the working month is AED 3,500 shared or AED 6,500 private.
Every fare covers fuel, the driver, Salik on the Dubai side and Darb on the Abu Dhabi side. You pay nothing at the gate, and the figure does not move at rush hour.
Every price on this page matches every other price on this page. That sounds like a small promise until you open three other car lift sites and find a shared seat quoted at two different numbers on the same screen.

About Us
Who We Are and Why We Started
Emirates Pick & Drop Lift was created to make the Dubai to Abu Dhabi commute easier and more affordable. Instead of driving yourself every day or paying high taxi fares, passengers can book a shared or private car lift based on their needs.
The service supports regular commuters travelling between the two emirates for work, study and other commitments. Bookings can be arranged around your required pickup and arrival time, with the driver and vehicle details shared before pickup.
The service also offers different booking options, including daily car lift, weekly car lift, monthly car lift, shared car lift and private car lift.

Daily Car Lift Services
Daily plans suit anyone crossing every day while their schedule is still settling. The driver reaches your address at a set time each morning, you ride in the same car, and you pay per journey rather than upfront. People splitting the week between two offices often start here.

The Sums
What It Costs to Drive Yourself Instead
Fuel alone on this commute is commonly estimated at AED 600 to AED 800 a month. Add Salik and Darb on every crossing, then tyres, servicing and what the car loses in value. Then add the part that never shows on a bill: two to three hours a day behind the wheel, five days a week.
A monthly shared seat is AED 3,500. Over a 22 day working month that is close to AED 160 a day for return travel, with somebody else driving and your hands free.

Client Reviews
What Clients Say About Us
Regular commuters use the service for daily office runs, ladies-only rides and staff pickups. A few of them describe travelling with Emirates Pick & Drop Lift.
"I am an office worker, so I need a car lift service from Dubai Marina to Abu Dhabi city five times a week. The reason I prefer this company is their well-trained drivers and 24/7 customer support. Almost 9 months have passed and I have never faced a single issue."
Siraj ChawlaDubai Marina
"I always prefer their monthly packages because I save a lot of money compared to taxis or driving myself. Also I never deal with heavy traffic on Sheikh Zayed Road — their drivers handle all the traffic and parking stress. Fully satisfied."
Meer Al-BatrosPalm Jumeirah
"For my daily company staff pick up and drop off, I only recommend their car lift services. They pick up every staff member from their location in Dubai and drop them at the office in Abu Dhabi. Using their service for the last 5 months."
Balwinder KumarOud Metha
"I use their ladies car lift daily from Saadiyat Island to Dubai. All drivers are respectful and well-mannered, and I never feel uncomfortable or insecure during the ride."

Yes. Etihad Rail starts at AED 39 against our AED 100, and the journey is 64 minutes against our 90 to 120. Take the train if it suits you.
It runs station to station, from Al Yalayis in Jumeirah Golf Estates to Mohammed Bin Zayed City, with five departures each way per day and nothing between 07:14 and 13:14. Etihad Rail asks passengers to arrive 30 minutes before departure. Add your travel to and from both stations before you compare, because we collect at your building door at the hour you choose.
Yes, with a licensed operator and commercial passenger insurance. The insurance is the part that matters: a private policy does not pay out when the person in the back seat paid for the seat. Every car in our fleet carries commercial passenger cover.
Yes. Cancelling more than 12 hours before pickup costs nothing.
You can pay by cash in dirhams, Visa or Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, bank transfer or corporate invoice. Single rides are paid on the day and monthly plans in advance, and receipts are covered under how payments and invoices work.
