Is Uber Available in Macau?

Macau is a licensed-taxi market. Uber returned on 2 February 2026 as Uber Meter Taxi, which means the app dispatches an ordinary licensed taxi and the official taximeter determines the fare.

It is the easiest first app for many visitors because an existing international account, saved credit card or Apple Pay can work, and the booking remains in a familiar English interface. Uber says these trips are electronic-payment only. Do not pay the driver again in cash, and request the official meter receipt if needed. A match is not guaranteed, especially during major events, late at night or in poor weather.

MAAS PLUS is the current name of the Macau Radio Taxi passenger app. It offers a second licensed-taxi dispatcher, but app quality, SMS setup and payment can be less predictable for a short-term foreign user. It is sometimes spelled MassPlus; that is the same product, not another taxi network. AMap is useful for navigation but is not a necessary taxi recommendation now that Uber provides a direct visitor-friendly booking path.

Official airport and ferry-terminal ranks, hotel staff and the radio-taxi telephone line remain practical backups. Carry the destination in Traditional Chinese or Portuguese and keep pataca or Hong Kong dollar cash for a street or radio taxi unless the driver confirms another method. Match the plate and vehicle before boarding. Macau taxis cannot carry a passenger through immigration into Hong Kong or mainland China.

Grab, Bolt, DiDi and Lyft are not ordinary Macau alternatives.
