The drive
Abu Dhabi is about 490 km from Muscat by road. The drive takes about five hours, plus the time at the border. Your chauffeur collects you from your hotel, home or office in Abu Dhabi and drives you straight to your address in Muscat — or the other way round, at the same price.
Crossing the border
You stay with your chauffeur and car throughout, and complete the exit and entry formalities at the UAE and Oman border posts. Bring your passport and, if your nationality requires it, a UAE visa; entry rules for Oman also depend on your nationality, so we ask about your passports when you book.
Border fees are paid by passengers at the border and are not included in the price. Waiting time at the border is included, and so are up to three stops on the way, with about an hour of waiting in total.
How the price works
Prices are per vehicle and per way, the same in either direction, and the car’s return journey is already included, so a one-way trip has no extra charge. The same rates apply between Muscat and Dubai, Sharjah or Ajman and Al Ain; every rate is on our prices page.
