Bus Rental from Sharjah to Dubai — Cost, Routes & How to Book

Pricing depends on bus size, contract length, daily kilometres and whether fuel and a driver are included. For a standard staff shuttle running one trip each morning and evening between Sharjah and Dubai, monthly costs typically range from AED 10,500 to AED 15,500 per month with a driver and fuel included.

A 23-seater Toyota Coaster or Mitsubishi Rosa on a monthly Sharjah-to-Dubai contract usually falls in the AED 12,000 to AED 15,000 range with driver and fuel. A 30-seater staff bus starts around AED 10,500 to AED 13,500 per month. Larger 50-seater buses for bigger workforces range from AED 13,500 to AED 16,500 per month depending on the exact route and number of daily trips.

If you only need the bus with a driver but no fuel, prices drop by roughly AED 2,000 to AED 3,000 per month. Older model buses are also available at a lower rate, though we always recommend checking vehicle condition and maintenance history before choosing a cheaper option.

The biggest cost drivers are the distance from the pickup point in Sharjah to the drop-off in Dubai, the number of trips per day, and the bus model and age. A route from Al Nahda or Al Qasimia to Deira or Bur Dubai is shorter and cheaper than a route from Muwaileh or Industrial Area to JLT or Dubai South.

Two trips per day — morning pickup and evening return — is the standard for staff shuttles. Some contracts require a midday trip or split shifts, which adds to the monthly cost because the driver and bus are occupied for longer.

Seasonal demand also plays a role. September and January see peak demand when schools and new corporate contracts start, so booking early secures better rates and vehicle availability.

For small teams of 10 to 20 passengers, a 14-seater Hiace van or a 20-seater Toyota Coaster works well. The Coaster is more comfortable for longer commutes and handles highway driving smoothly.

For medium groups of 25 to 35 passengers, the 30-seater staff bus is the most popular choice on this route. It offers a good balance of capacity and cost, and fits most company staff shuttle requirements.

For large workforces of 40 to 60 passengers, the 50-seater Ashok Leyland or Higer bus is the standard. If your headcount is higher, a 66-seater coach keeps everyone on one vehicle instead of running two buses.

Start by sharing your pickup area in Sharjah, drop-off area in Dubai, group size, timing and contract length. JMT Group will confirm the best bus size and give you an itemised quote within the hour during business hours.

For monthly contracts we recommend a site visit to confirm the route, check road access at both ends, and agree on exact pickup times. This prevents delays on day one and makes the contract run smoothly from the start.
