Routes
Abu Dhabi to Riyadh
Car transport from Abu Dhabi to Riyadh runs from the UAE capital straight to the Saudi capital by dedicated car-carrier. We collect your vehicle door-to-door anywhere in the emirates, with terminal drop-off available in Abu Dhabi, and deliver within Riyadh city limits, surrounding districts on request. Abu Dhabi's position gives this route a natural head start toward the Al Ghuwaifat border, and transit typically runs three to five days depending on customs at the crossing. We prepare export and import documentation in advance so the vehicle clears the border without the delays that catch out less-organised shipments. Keep in mind Saudi Arabia's five-year age limit on imported vehicles (classics over 30 years are exempt) and the 5% duty plus 15% VAT charged on the assessed value at customs — these are settled separately from your fixed transport fee, with nothing marked up. This corridor suits capital-to-capital relocations, government and corporate moves, and anyone buying from the UAE's used-car market for delivery in Riyadh. You receive a fixed road-transport quote, a reference to follow the shipment's progress, and one dedicated contact overseeing the move from pickup in Abu Dhabi to delivery in Riyadh.

Customs and border notes
Border and customs processing is handled with pre-prepared paperwork. Estimated transit times are subject to border and customs processing and are not guaranteed.
FAQs
Typically: the vehicle registration card (Mulkiya), your Emirates ID or passport, and an export certificate if the car is being deregistered. We prepare the customs paperwork and tell you exactly what applies to your case.
We do. Paperwork is prepared before the truck moves, and our team coordinates the crossing. You do not need to be present at the border.
Transit times are estimates and are subject to border and customs processing, which can vary. We keep you updated at every stage, including any delay at a crossing.
