Nigeria’s taxi industry is thriving, thanks to the advent of numerous new Taxi Apps that make it simple to navigate the country without breaking the bank. With the arrival of Taxi Apps, commuting in Nigeria has become much easier, less expensive, and even safer than before. Here are 5 of the top Taxi Apps in Nigeria right now.
Uber
Uber has risen dramatically in recent years, primarily in Lagos and Abuja. The service provides some additional benefits and is thus a great option for people wishing to hail a cab. It’s also popular since it has an easy-to-use UI that allows you to see exactly where your cab is using GPS as well as how far away your ride is from you. Since its debut in Nigeria in 2014, it has gained popularity in numerous cities across the country. Furthermore, users can pay for their journeys with cash or credit cards.
Bolt
Bolt, originally known as Taxify, is Uber’s main competitor in Africa, and it has a good reputation for being user-friendly and inexpensive. GPS monitoring and customer help on multiple platforms, including Twitter and Facebook, are among the features of the app. The rating system is very beneficial; it’s as simple as giving your driver a one-to-five star rating after each journey. Bolt now serves Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Jos, and Port Harcourt. You may create an account using Facebook or your email address.
inDriver
Without a doubt, inDriver is one of the most convenient ways to navigate around Nigeria’s major cities. If you need a taxi, go no further—you can hail a cab with your smartphone and get picked up swiftly by friendly drivers who are more than eager to take you anywhere you need to go. The costs are cheap, and there are no hidden fees or charges—just open your app and swipe when you need a ride! The best aspect is that there’s no need to worry about driving while intoxicated because drivers are subjected to background checks before they can drive for inDriver.
Rida
Rida is a mobile app that connects you with taxi drivers in your area, allowing you to catch a ride anywhere and at any time. However, Rida does not stop there: it also allows users to follow all cabs on their journeys and discover empty taxis in real-time. You can even bargain with the driver before you begin your journey. You can use Rida to schedule travel from one state in Nigeria to another. The Rida app was created by former Uber employees from Russia and Armenia.
Rideme Taxi
Rideme Taxi is a ridesharing firm based in Nigeria that was started in 2018. The program, which is available for both Android and iOS, allows users to plan, track, and pay for their taxi rides. This app also has a “Female-for-Female” service option. This means that verified female riders can select female drivers to drive them. In addition, there is an Alarm feature in place in case of an emergency.
Conclusion
It’s no secret that apps have changed the way we live our lives, including how we get about. Take an Uber or one of these taxi apps if you need a ride.
