Bus: Limited services link most towns with the local airport. However, most hotels run their own scheduled bus services to the airports, city centre and beach resorts.
Taxi: Available in all towns. In Abu Dhabi and Al-Ain, urban journey fares are metered, whilst fares for longer journeys should be agreed in advance. There is a surcharge for air-conditioned taxis. Many travellers find taxis to be the quickest and most convenient method of travel from Abu Dhabi to Dubai.
Car hire: Most international car hire companies have offices at airports or hotels. A passport and either a valid international or national licence are necessary.
Regulations: The speed limit in built-up areas is 60 to 80kph (37 to 50mph) and 100 to 120kph (62 to 74mph) elsewhere.
Documentation: An International Driving Permit is recommended, although it is not legally required. A local driving licence can be issued on presentation of a valid national driving licence, two photos and a passport.
