Car Transport

[DubaiJohn]

Morning all. In the process of buying a new car and because I’ve moved down to Abu Dhabi I now need to go through the whole rigmarole of exchanging cash in Dubai and trucking it down to Abu Dhabi to be registered.

Couple of questions about this.

Does anyone know of a company that’ll do the transport and the paperwork side of things? Failing that just a transport company that is reliable and preferably a covered truck as it’s my dream car and it’s fairly expensive so want it taking care of.

Pics will follow - just waiting for an al Tayer pre inspection report before the final decision is made.

Unfortunately can’t register it in Dubai as have Ab Dab visa now. It’s also a private purchase so al Tayer unlikely to be interested I’d say.

Thanks though.

It does indeed Jerry. Considered another McLaren but as exit plans are in place it’s time to scratch that Ferrari itch.

Thanks for the lead. I’ll drop him a line.

Cheers Thb that’s the issue I relocated down here a year ago so no more dubai lease for me.

They certainly make life hard in this place!

Thought I'd update this thread with who I used and how it went. I used carsmiddleast.com and I have to say they were excellent. They picked up the car from Dubai and delivered it to Abu Dhabi. I also used them to register and test the car in Ab Dab and they were invaluable in short circuiting the absolute shambles that is the registering a new car in Abu Dhabi.

Really happy with them and now the proud owner of a Ferrari FF!

I think my experience was slightly affected by the fact that the only place open on a Saturday is the main 24 hour place.

However now seems no need for a test in Dubai only the paperwork. Down to Abu Dhabi for a test which was all straight forward. Then into the little shack place to get the plates and then prepare to wait. We short cut the process and it still took close on two hours. In any case all sorted now.

I got the black one that I think is still up on Dubizzle for 429. Bloody lovely bit of kit. Couple of minor niggles that’ll start with a wheel alignment.

It’s the one that was up for private sale.
