3 apps2 essential
Uber
EssentialAvailable in Lagos and Abuja. A familiar and reliable way to navigate these sprawling cities. Cashless payment options make it safer and more convenient than street taxis.
Pro tip: Always confirm your driver's name, car model, and plate number before getting in. In busy Lagos pickup spots, multiple drivers may try to claim your ride.
Bolt
EssentialThe most popular ride-hailing app in Nigeria by volume. Cheaper than Uber in most cases, with strong driver availability across Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt.
Pro tip: Bolt's 'Ladies Only' option pairs female riders with female drivers. A thoughtful feature available in Lagos for those who prefer it.
InDrive
Nice to haveA ride-hailing app where you propose your own fare and drivers accept, decline, or counter-offer. Popular in Nigeria for its flexibility and often the cheapest option.
Pro tip: Start your offer at about 70% of what Uber quotes for the same trip. Drivers usually counter, and you will meet somewhere in the middle.
