Just rent a car in Abu Dhabi for the day and drive through to Dubai and drop the rental car off at their branch in Dubai. A lot of car rental places do shuttles to the airport. Cheap car rental can start at dhs95 for an economy car but since you say you have loads of bags you might have to get a bigger car.

Mirdif or rashidya would be the best option if you do know someone there. Parking at MCC is free but I do not think you can park overnight.

cant you see if you can go on the etihad bus.

just remember though that if you do not park ina proper area you may get towed, went past a car that has been parked up for a good lone while, prob gone on summer hols, but is on a sand bit outside a villa, and its got a sticker on it now...... surely if the first day alone is going to cost you 240 then thats about the cost of a taxi from ad to dxb. ring up al ghazal limo, they do station wagons, dont know the price to dxb though its more expensive.... of course....

There is a direct metro to both terminal 1 and 3, you can park maybe at Nakheel Harbour and Tower? You can take about 2 suitcases per person, just travel gold class.

Or you park at Nakheel Harbour and Tower and take a taxi from there. Will cost you around AED75 I think to the airport.

where I live in JLT there isnt any set parking spots, lots of empty spaces. Park and get a taxi from here, taxi will cost about 70 going and 95 on your return.

Does Mirdiff CC charge for parking like MOE does? If you return and exit on a weekend then the parking will be free I guess. Festival city is even closer. Maybe pay for valet parking at one of the hotels - there is seldom a time limit and a one-off charge of say 50aed.
Could you park at someones villa in Mirdiff/ Garhoud ?

How about something on the metro line?
Then you could get a quick connection bus/ taxi from T3 to T1

Not unless you have friends that live locally, like Mirdiff, where you can park you car. Cheaper to get a taxi, or maybe ask a friend to drop you off.

Just checked online (Terminal 1) , the airport parking costs 240 dhs first day and then 100 each day. That is too expensive. Metro is not an option cause we always have a lot of suitcases. Really hope for a better solution. Thanks in advance!
