Abu Dhabi to Sharjah
Car Lift Service

The main options for travelling from Abu Dhabi to Sharjah are: (1) Private car lift or taxi — the fastest and most convenient option, taking 60–90 minutes for the roughly 115 km journey; (2) Intercity bus via Abu Dhabi Bus services, which takes longer and requires a connection; (3) Driving yourself, which requires navigating through Dubai on Sheikh Zayed Road (E11). A private car lift is the most direct option, especially with luggage or multiple passengers.

An Abu Dhabi RTA metered taxi from Abu Dhabi to Sharjah typically costs AED 150–250 or more depending on traffic and the exact pickup/drop-off points, as the meter runs for the entire 115 km journey plus any waiting time. A private car lift from us offers a fixed price from AED [120] with no meter — so you know the cost before you get in. [Verify current RTA intercity taxi fares as they may change.]

As of 2026, there is no direct passenger train connecting Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. The Etihad Rail project is developing freight and eventually passenger rail across the UAE, but an operational Abu Dhabi–Sharjah passenger service is not yet available. Road transfer (private car lift, taxi, or bus) remains the only practical option. [Verify current Etihad Rail timetable for any updates.]

There is no fully non-stop intercity bus directly between Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. Abu Dhabi DOT bus services (routes E100, E300, and related lines) connect Abu Dhabi to Dubai, from where you can then take a Sharjah-bound bus — but this requires a transfer and significantly longer travel time (often 2+ hours total). A private car lift is a direct, door-to-door alternative. [Verify current Abu Dhabi–Sharjah bus routes with Integrated Transport Centre.]
