Today, there are multiple ride-hailing apps to choose from: Uber, Careem, inDriver and DiDi, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks. Since I’ve been a regular user of ride-hailing apps for the past three years, here is my breakdown of their pros and cons:UberThe most popular ride-hailing app in Egypt and globally, US-based Uber is the fastest when it comes to availability. The base fare for an average ‘UberX Saver’ rose from EGP 6.8 (USD 0.36) to EGP 7.25 (USD 0.38), and the price per kilometer changed from EGP 2.38 (USD 0.12) to EGP 2.47 (USD 0.13). In terms of safety, Uber does not offer a hotline that one can contact in case of an emergency. DiDiDiDi, which entered the Egyptian market in September 2021, is the latest addition to ride-hailing apps in Egypt.
