The public transport network in Abu Dhabi is not as extensive as it is in neighbouring Dubai so depending on your circumstances you may need to purchase a vehicle.
If you are living in central Abu Dhabi you might be able to get along by using buses which are economical and quite frequent or taxis. However, if you live in any of the suburbs or have children who need to be transported to school a car could be a good investment.
That being said, most expats choose not to drive in Abu Dhabi because of the chaotic driving conditions. While the infrastrcuture is modern and well maintained, Abu Dhabi is known for its reckless road users.
If you are brave enough to get behind the wheel - be careful ! Remember never to drink drive - as it is a serious offence in UAE and avoid running red lights or speeding as fines are high. Cars are cheap and readily available in Abu Dhabi or you could choose to hire a car.
