Intercity travel in the Emirates follows a handful of great corridors, and car lift exists because those corridors are commutes, not occasions. The E11 between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the Al Ittihad Road squeeze out of Sharjah, the long E66 run to Al Ain — each route below is written for its own direction, because a 6 am collection in Discovery Gardens and a 6 pm collection in Khalifa City are different journeys that happen to share a road.

View route →Frequently asked questions
Which is the most popular car lift route in the UAE?
Dubai to Abu Dhabi is by far the busiest corridor: thousands of residents live in one emirate and work in the other, and the E11 journey of about 140 kilometres is too far for a daily metered taxi. Sharjah to Dubai is the second major flow, driven by families who live in Sharjah and work across Dubai.
Do routes run in both directions?
Yes — every corridor on this page is served in both directions, and each direction has its own page because pickups, drop-offs and peak patterns differ. A morning Dubai to Abu Dhabi run collects commuters, while the evening Abu Dhabi to Dubai flow brings them home; booking the direction you actually travel keeps your pickup point accurate.
Can I ride a route only a few days a week?
Yes. Monthly contracts are built around your real schedule — five days, six days or a rotating shift pattern — and daily bookings cover one-off trips. Tell us the days and times you actually travel when you enquire, and the quote will be based on that pattern rather than a standard package.
What if my city pair is not listed?
Private car lift can be arranged for most city pairs in the UAE, including Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain, even where no scheduled shared route runs. Send us the pickup and drop-off points through the quote form and we will confirm whether we can cover it and what the private fare would be.
How long do intercity journeys take in traffic?
Off-peak, Dubai to Abu Dhabi takes about an hour and a quarter; weekday peaks add time on every corridor, worst on Sharjah to Dubai where the morning queue can double the trip. Your driver plans around known peak windows, and monthly riders get pickup times chosen to land them at work reliably.
