Update, 2 October 2026: Uber has left Nigeria
Uber stopped operating in Nigeria on 2 September 2026, so the Uber app no longer takes rides, deliveries or new drivers here. The Uber details below are kept for reference only. Bolt and inDrive still operate, or you can book a vetted driver on Travo. Compare options in our guide to Uber alternatives in Nigeria.
With Uber ending its operations in Nigeria, passengers need reliable alternatives for daily transportation, business trips and airport transfers. The main options to consider include Bolt, inDrive and LagRide.
Bolt
Bolt is one of the strongest replacements for Uber in Nigeria. It operates in several Nigerian cities and allows passengers to request rides through its app.
The app provides an estimated fare before booking, while passengers can see driver and vehicle details before starting their journey.
inDrive
inDrive is another popular Uber replacement. Instead of relying entirely on a fixed fare, passengers can suggest a price and receive offers from drivers.
This can be useful for passengers who want to negotiate fares and drivers who prefer greater control over the trips they accept.
LagRide
LagRide is a Lagos-focused ride-hailing option. It can be considered by passengers looking for an alternative service for trips around Lagos.
Which Uber Replacement Is Best?
The best option depends on your location and priorities:
- Bolt: Good all-round option for everyday rides.
- inDrive: Useful when negotiating fares is important.
- LagRide: Suitable for passengers travelling around Lagos.
Prices and driver availability can change depending on distance, traffic, location and demand, so comparing available options before booking is recommended.
For Former Uber Drivers
Former Uber drivers can explore alternative platforms such as Bolt and inDrive. Before registering, check vehicle requirements, documents, commissions, trip demand and operating costs.
How Travo.ng Can Help
Travo.ng can help travellers plan transportation across Nigeria, including everyday rides, business trips and airport transfers.
Although Uber has left the Nigerian market, passengers and drivers still have alternative ride-hailing options available.
