Taxi's in Abu Dhabi?
I'm starting a job in Abu Dhabi at the beginning of July, working in the musaffah industrial district and most likely living in a hotel on yas island for the first few months until I find my feet? Does anyone know how practical it is to get around by taxi for the first month until I sort a car out after my first wages??

Ok thanks! Are they an expensive way of getting around?

Re: Taxi's in Abu Dhabi?
It's going to be around 25-35 Dhms from Yas to Musaffah, depending where you are there. One way fare. Could be expensive over the week unless the company picks up the tab.
There is a more than reasonable serviced apartments in Mohammed Bin Zayed City called Sahara Suites, in the Mazyat Mall block, which may be worth looking at and is much closer to Musaffah. |

600 535353 is the call centre number and I find that they send cabs within 5 minutes. There is a 5AED charge on top for this service, but it is great if you are somewhere where finding a cab on the street is difficult.
You could also try and find a cab driver that you like and do a deal with them to pick you up/drop you off each day for a fixed monthly fee. I did this for a while when I first came to Abu Dhabi. Taxis are fine, but I prefer the flexibility of having a car. You could hire one if you have an international license - some good bargains on for the summer. This means that all the insurance and hassle is already covered and you have the car available for those wonderful jaunts to Mussafah! |

If you do drive, be extra careful in Musaffah; driving standards there are much worse than in Abu Dhabi city, and sometimes are even worse than Sharjah.
The fact that 90% of vehicles there are commercial vehicles or company cars doesnt help either. |
