Abu Dhabi Zayed International Airport Transfer — AUH

Abu Dhabi Zayed International Airport (AUH) is the UAE capital's main gateway and the hub for Etihad Airways. Located 30 km from Abu Dhabi city centre, it handles an enormous volume of connecting traffic as well as point-to-point leisure and business passengers. A significant proportion of AUH arrivals are heading to Dubai rather than Abu Dhabi — a 120 km journey that is one of the most popular private transfer routes in the Gulf. A private transfer from LocalsRide covers all scenarios at a fixed price, with your driver waiting at your booked pickup time.

Transfers start from AED 176 — fixed price, confirmed at booking. No meter, no hidden fees, no surge pricing.
