Comparing the two ride hailing apps to help you pick the right one for Egypt.
| Careem | InDrive | |
|---|---|---|
| Description | A regional ride-hailing giant now owned by Uber, but operating as a separate app with its own driver fleet. Very popular among locals and often has better availability in neighborhoods where Uber coverage is thinner. | A ride-hailing app where you propose your own fare and drivers either accept or counter-offer. Useful for price-conscious travelers and available in most Egyptian cities. |
| Essential? | Yes | No |
| Pro Tip | Careem offers a 'Go' economy tier that is often cheaper than Uber's equivalent. You can also pay in cash through the app if you haven't set up a card. | Start your offer at about 70-80% of what Uber quotes for the same route. Drivers will often accept or negotiate slightly higher. |
