Is Uber Available in Lithuania?

Partly, Uber works in some cities

Uber currently lists Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Šiauliai and Panevėžys. Bolt covers many more Lithuanian cities and usually offers the more useful first check.

Bolt is the most useful first ride app in Lithuania and its official city list covers the capital, major cities, resorts and many regional towns.

A city appearing in the app does not guarantee a nearby driver, especially late at night, outside the centre or for a return from a rural attraction. Uber is no longer limited to Vilnius. Its current Lithuania page lists Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Šiauliai and Panevėžys, but Bolt usually offers broader supply. eTAKSI is a well-established local taxi and private-ride dispatcher in those same five major cities.

It shows a preliminary fare rather than an unconditional final price and allows card or cash selection. Etransport is another legitimate local option with a much longer advertised town list, advance requests and categories such as minivan, child seat and pet-friendly rides, although a listed town does not prove that a car will be available at a particular time. Forus remains active and lets passengers propose a price through its Deal category, but its smaller supply and weaker recent user feedback make it a backup rather than a first download. At Vilnius Airport, use the designated Bolt pickup beside the intercity bus stops or the official taxi rank directly outside Arrivals.

Official airport taxis accept cash and cards and display approved tariffs inside; keep the receipt. For any app, confirm the exact pickup pin, plate, car and driver, review the payment method before ordering and do not cancel to pay privately. An advance request is not a guaranteed vehicle. Arrange a licensed taxi through the accommodation for a very early flight, a child seat, accessible transport or a rural return where failure would matter.

Ride Hailing Apps in Lithuania

Bolt app icon

BoltEssential

Lithuania's most practical ride app, with broad official city coverage and generally stronger driver supply than its rivals.

Pro tip: At Vilnius Airport, follow the app to the dedicated pickup beside the intercity bus stops. Regional coverage does not guarantee a driver for the return trip.

Uber app icon

Uber

Ride-hailing in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Šiauliai and Panevėžys, useful for a second fare and wait-time comparison.

Pro tip: Uber is no longer Vilnius-only. Compare the complete price and pickup time with Bolt before confirming.

eTAKSI app icon

eTAKSI

Local taxi and private-ride dispatcher in Lithuania's five largest cities, with preliminary pricing and card or cash options.

Pro tip: The displayed fare is preliminary. Select the payment method before ordering and treat an advance request as a request, not a guaranteed car.

Etransport - Taxi and more app icon

Etransport - Taxi and more

Lithuanian taxi and ride dispatcher with an extensive advertised town list, advance booking and specialist vehicle categories.

Pro tip: Useful for a child seat, minivan or regional request, but confirm that a driver accepted it. A town in the service list does not guarantee immediate supply.

Forus app icon

Forus

Smaller ride and licensed-taxi backup whose Deal category lets the passenger propose a fare and choose an accepting driver.

Pro tip: Check the real driver response and arrival time before relying on it. Recent feedback and local reports indicate less dependable supply than Bolt.

These apps need data

Guac eSIM covers Lithuania with plans from $0.58 per GB. Install it before you land and activate instantly.

A data eSIM gives you internet, not a local phone number, so it cannot receive SMS verification codes.
