Chauffeur service in Sharjah

Trips from Dubai and trips that start in Sharjah

Assure is RTA licensed in Dubai, so any trip that leaves Dubai runs in our own car with our own chauffeur. That covers a drop-off at an Al Majaz hotel, a day at Expo Centre Sharjah, or a morning at the Heart of Sharjah with the car waiting.

Your trip	How it runs
One way from Dubai or DXB to Al Majaz, Al Khan or University City	Assure car and chauffeur, under our RTA licence
Return trip from Dubai, with the chauffeur waiting at Expo Centre or a museum	Assure car, kept for the hours you book
Starts at SHJ or a Sharjah address, ends in Dubai or another emirate	Partner car, arranged on request through our partner network, subject to availability
Starts and ends in Sharjah, such as a day of meetings in Al Taawun	Partner car, arranged on request through our partner network, subject to availability

Useful on the ground: getting around Sharjah, Sharjah airport arrivals and the Expo Centre Sharjah access guide.

The Sharjah to Dubai commute

Two roads carry most of the traffic between the cities. Al Ittihad Road runs from Al Majaz and Al Taawun through Al Nahda into Deira, then on towards DIFC and Downtown Dubai. The E311, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, runs further inland past Sharjah Airport and University City, and connects with Al Khail Road in Dubai.

The times below are free-flow figures from the OSRM route planner on OpenStreetMap data.

Trip	Main road	Road distance	Without traffic
Al Majaz to Deira (Al Rigga)	Al Ittihad Road	about 13 km	14 min
Al Majaz to DIFC	Al Ittihad Road, then Umm Hurair Road	about 20 km	21 min
Al Majaz to Downtown Dubai	Al Ittihad Road	about 22 km	23 min
Al Majaz to Dubai Marina	Al Ittihad Road, then Sheikh Zayed Road	about 40 km	37 min
Expo Centre Sharjah to Downtown Dubai	Al Ittihad Road	about 20 km	22 min
University City to Downtown Dubai	E311, then Al Khail Road	about 34 km	32 min

At weekday rush hour these figures stretch. The morning queue builds towards Dubai and the evening queue back towards Sharjah. We don’t print a peak figure, because it changes with the day and the weather. Tell us the time you need to arrive, and the chauffeur plans the start time and the road.

Bus, taxi and private car options for the same corridor are compared in our Dubai to Sharjah guide.

Drive times inside Sharjah

Sharjah’s museums, souks and waterfronts sit close together around Khalid Lagoon and the corniche. From Al Majaz Waterfront, most are under 10 minutes away without traffic.

From Al Majaz Waterfront to	Road distance	Without traffic
Al Noor Island	about 2 km	4 min
Central Souq	about 4 km	6 min
Al Qasba	about 4 km	6 min

Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization	about 6 km	8 min
Rain Room	about 6 km	8 min
University City	about 14 km	17 min
Sharjah International Airport	about 19 km	19 min

Our Sharjah city tour strings the Heart of Sharjah, the Islamic Civilization museum and Al Noor Island into one day with the car.

Beyond Sharjah city: the desert and the east coast

Sharjah runs right across the country to the Gulf of Oman. Inland, the Al Dhaid road leads to the Mleiha desert and Sharjah Safari. Khor Fakkan, on the east coast, is reached on Khor Fakkan Road through the Hajar Mountains.

From Al Majaz Waterfront to	Road distance	Without traffic
Mleiha	about 58 km	43 min
Sharjah Safari, Al Dhaid	about 69 km	59 min
Khor Fakkan	about 119 km	1 h 29 min

For the dunes, see our desert safari from Sharjah. Trips on to Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah or Abu Dhabi are listed on our intercity transfers page. Al Majaz to central Abu Dhabi is about 157 km, roughly 1 hour 45 minutes without traffic.

Sharjah Airport (SHJ) pickups

The airport sits 13 km south-east of Sharjah city. By road, the terminal is about 19 km from Al Majaz, 8 km from University City and 21 km from Ajman. Downtown Dubai is about 39 km and 34 minutes away on the E311, and Dubai Marina about 58 km.

Your chauffeur follows the flight and waits in the arrivals hall with your name on a board, and VIP guests are welcomed personally. SHJ pickups are arranged on request, so send your flight number early and we confirm the car. Full terminal details are on our Sharjah Airport transfers page.

Option at SHJ	How it works
Pre-booked chauffeur	Name board in arrivals, one car for the group and bags, price agreed before you land
Sharjah Taxi	Metered, from the arrivals taxi stands, with a AED 20 surcharge on every trip from the airport
Air Arabia coach	To Al Ghurair Centre in Deira, 8am to 11.30pm from the airport, AED 20 one way

Limousine service in Sharjah

Sharjah Taxi runs its own limousine from outside SHJ arrivals. A booked limousine with Assure is a different job: a set car, a set chauffeur and a pickup time agreed in advance.

Car	Passengers	Where it comes from
Mercedes-Benz S-Class or BMW 7 Series	3	Assure fleet
Cadillac Escalade	6	Assure fleet
Escalade, Hummer H2 or Chrysler 300 stretch	8 to 12	Partner network, subject to availability

A wedding arrival at a Sharjah venue usually means the couple’s car plus guest transport. The car options are on our limousine service page.

Groups, exhibitions and staff runs

For a group, one van keeps everyone together on the 22 km run from Al Majaz to Downtown Dubai. The Mercedes-Benz V-Class seats 6 with 4 large bags. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter seats 13 or 19 and is in our own fleet. Coaches of 35 and 50 seats, for exhibitions at Expo Centre Sharjah or staff shuttles from Al Nahda, come through our partner network, subject to availability. Sizes are on our bus rental page.

How to book a chauffeur in Sharjah

1. Send the date, the pickup address and the time you need to arrive, on WhatsApp at +971 56 684 8148 or in the trip form.
2. For a commute, name the Dubai drop-off district so the chauffeur can choose between Al Ittihad Road and the E311. For a day hire, give the hours instead.
3. Count guests and large bags: a sedan takes 3 guests and 2 bags, a Mercedes-Benz V-Class 6 guests and 4 bags.
4. For an SHJ arrival, include the flight number. A pickup that starts in Sharjah needs a partner car, which we confirm before you get the quote.
5. Reply to the quote on WhatsApp to lock in the booking.

What sets the price

• The start point: an Assure car from Dubai, or a partner car for a start at SHJ or in Sharjah.
• A one-way transfer or a number of hours.
• The time of day, since a rush-hour run takes longer than the same road at night.
• The car class, from a sedan to a stretch limousine or a coach.
• Salik tolls, if the route passes a Dubai toll gate.
