Comparing the two ride hailing apps to help you pick the right one for Kenya.
| Bolt | Little Cab | |
|---|---|---|
| Description | A popular alternative to Uber in Nairobi and Mombasa, frequently offering lower fares. The driver network is large, which means short wait times even during off-peak hours. | A Kenyan-built ride-hailing app developed in partnership with Safaricom. It integrates directly with M-Pesa for payments, making it the most seamless cashless ride option if you already have M-Pesa set up. |
| Essential? | Yes | No |
| Pro Tip | Bolt often undercuts Uber by 10-15% on the same route. Check both apps before confirming a ride, especially for longer trips across Nairobi. | If you are already using M-Pesa, Little Cab's integration is seamless. Payment is deducted automatically from your M-Pesa wallet at the end of each ride. |
