Relocating from Abu Dhabi to Dubai sounds simple at first, with just two hours apart, the same country, and the same language. But those who’ve done it before will tell you it's a whole different story, especially without hiring a professional moving expert.
Between navigating community rules, scheduling movers, and settling into a new city, there’s a lot that first-time movers don’t expect.
Here’s what people wish they knew before making the move, and how partnering with 800 TRUCK’s office, home or villa moving services can make your transition smoother from start to finish.
Many people assume that booking movers on the same day of their actual move date without proper planning will be fine.
In reality, moving between Emirates requires coordination between two management offices, different access permits, and more travel time.
You must plan your move one or two weeks in advance.
Start now by using our 800 TRUCK moving calculator to get a clear estimate of costs and vehicle size.
The online calculator helps you understand how much space you’ll need and save you from last-minute expense surprises.
Once your moving date is confirmed with us, our in-house team of moving experts will handle logistics on both ends, coordinating permissions, scheduling the right-sized truck, and ensuring timely arrival in Dubai.
One of the biggest challenges that people face when moving from Abu Dhabi to Dubai is managing multiple services.
Some companies can handle only transport boxes, leaving you to deal with packing, unpacking, and furniture assembly.
800 TRUCK offers complete home moving services and villa moving services, covering organising, packing, safe transport, unpacking and full setup in your new space.
We use quality packing materials, reinforced wrapping, and item labeling for efficient packing and unpacking.
Every move done by our team is well-planned, co-ordinated, supervised, and executed by trained professionals, giving you a truly stress-free experience.
Each Dubai community, from Jumeirah to Downtown to Meydan, has its own moving policies.
Most often you’ll need:
Move-in, move-out permits or NOC
Approved timing for loading and unloading
Building or villa access coordination
800 TRUCK’s local expertise means our operations team will take care of all these requirements well in advance and on your behalf.
We know the process for DAMAC, Emaar, Nakheel-managed communities, and more, further saving you hours of back-and-forth with management offices.
A smooth move doesn’t end with just unloading boxes in your new home or office space in Dubai.
Once you’ve arrived, you’ll likely need help fixing shelves, assembling furniture, mounting TVs, or hanging curtains.
Other than hiring multiple contractors, 800 TRUCK offers affordable handyman services, which you can integrate with our home, villa, or office moving services in Dubai.
Our in-house team can handle:
Curtain and lighting setup
Furniture installation
Wall mounting and minor repairs
With such multiple services available in one place, you will save time and start living comfortably in your new home or establish the office space as early as possible.
What looks like a quick drive between Emirates can easily turn into a half-day operation once you add loading, travel, and access waiting times.
Booking movers with proper route planning and dedicated supervisors ensures your belongings reach safely and on time.
800 TRUCK’s drivers and coordinators plan your route based on Dubai’s community access windows, ensuring your move is smooth, punctual, and efficient.
If your new home in Dubai isn’t ready, your lease starts late, or renovations are ongoing, don’t rush your move. Instead, store your items safely with 800 TRUCK’s storage facilities in Dubai.
Our climate-controlled units are closely monitored all day, ensuring the utmost safety of your belongings.
You can store any of your house or office-related belongings with us until you need them.
Once your space is ready, we deliver everything back, unpack, and set it up, all through our expert moving team.
Here are a few things first-time movers often wish they’d done differently:
Packing too late: Start early to avoid last-minute chaos.
Ignoring building permissions: This can delay your truck entry for hours.
Hiring based on cost alone: Choose value, not just price.
With 800 TRUCK, everything from packing to transport and assembly is handled professionally. You’ll always know what’s included in our package, what to expect, and who’s responsible.
Whether you’re upgrading to a Dubai villa or relocating for work, 800 TRUCK provides a complete, transparent, and flexible moving experience.
Here’s what sets us apart:
End-to-end support: Packing, moving, handyman setup, and storage, all under one roof.
