Plan an Abu Dhabi collection

The collection emirate sets the same-day cut-off: Abu Dhabi bookings must be made before 14:00 for delivery by 21:00. Do not use Dubai’s later cut-off for this direction. Select Al Ain or Ruwais explicitly when relevant, rather than using a central Abu Dhabi address for the quote.

  • Confirm the sender can hand over the sealed item during collection.
  • For Dubai offices, include reception hours, tower access and the named recipient.

Understand the route price

The table uses representative locations and the live pricing engine. The inter-emirate adjustment is already included in its subtotal; VAT is shown separately. Choose your actual addresses, item and speed to see the final total before confirming. Do not add the inter-emirate percentage a second time.

From AED 65 for documents on Standard, and AED 111 for Express with a dedicated driver, before VAT. Your exact price appears instantly online before you pay; no phone call needed.

Can it arrive the same day?

Yes. Book before 14:00 for a Abu Dhabi collection and it is delivered by 21:00 today. Express starts immediately with a dedicated driver.

How fast is same-day delivery from Abu Dhabi to Dubai?

Express uses a dedicated driver on a direct journey; timing depends on both addresses, traffic and access checks. Same-day bookings made before 14:00 are delivered by 21:00. Confirm the handover time if the recipient closes earlier.

It is roughly 140 km by road. On Express the driver goes direct with no other stops, and you follow the delivery live on the map.

The reverse direction has its own route page with the from-price — prices are symmetric per item and speed, plus 5% VAT shown before you pay.

I send on this route regularly. Do you have business rates?

Yes. Contracted business accounts start from AED 15 for approved monthly volume, parcel sizes and zones on standard or consolidated delivery. VAT and conditions apply; this is not a flat price for every journey on this route.
