Renting a car in Abu Dhabi can prove to be a winning choice: the city is very large and public transport, although efficient, is not comparable to Dubai’s: the metro is still only a project (it is said that it could be ready in 2017 but work on the 4 lines has not yet started) and buses can be boring to wait for. Crucially, it is not easy to find a bus that follows the tourist routes.

Therefore, to explore the city in complete freedom, stop at will along the Corniche, visit the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, get to the Marina Mall and the Heritage Village, and above all get to Yas Island for a ride to Ferrari World, there is nothing better than a rental car.

Finding your way around the city of Abu Dhabi is easy, its layout with orthogonal streets is somewhat reminiscent of Manhattan, and getting around without getting lost is a matter of only a few hours of practice.

Travel information

Car hire at Abu Dhabi Airport

Renting a car at the airport is the most convenient solution

Abu Dhabi Airport is an ultra-modern international airport and among all the services offered to arriving passengers, a dedicated car rental area is a must.

At Abu Dhabi airport there are rental counters for all the major international companies and the offices are all open 24 hours a day 7 days a week; they are located in the area known as Skypark Plaza, situated on the opposite side of Terminal 3, within walking distance of both Terminal 1 and Terminal 3.

If your flight lands at Terminal 2, you can take the shuttle bus to Skypark Plaza, which departs every 20 minutes. The journey takes 5 minutes, but as an alternative for the more sporty, it is also possible to walk there (one kilometre and about 15 minutes walk, which can however become uncomfortable when there is a lot of luggage to carry).

Car hire companies at the airport

There are numerous car rental companies at Abu Dhabi International Airport, both local and international. The list includes Budget, Dollar, Europcar, Hertz, Thrifty, Avis and Payless, along with the local Fast Rent a Car. All these companies give customers the option of renting a car directly via the Internet, a wise choice that allows them to get the best price, especially if the booking is made well in advance.

The prices for car rental, however, are quite competitive, and above all, petrol prices in this part of the world are unthinkable in most of the world countries, around 30 euro cents per litre, which could convince even the most budget-conscious to indulge for once and rent a big car.
