If you ride, know the cost first.

Book in a few taps and see the cost before you commit. If you would rather settle a different price with your driver, you can do that before the trip starts, and the agreed figure replaces the quote.

Before you confirm

Three things you always have.

Not features so much as commitments: each one is something you can check on the screen in front of you rather than take on trust.

Waiting is free for the first 3 minutes at pickup on every class, and charged by the minute after that. The minimum fare is set to the base fare, which is charged on every trip — so the floor never binds and no adjustment line ever appears on your receipt. These are the national rates; a state can be given its own card, and prices from these until it is.

The two levies on your bill

Added to the fare and passed on in full. Neither goes to MyKaab.

While you are in the car

Share your trip

Send a live link from the trip screen. Whoever opens it sees where the car is, where it is going and the route it is taking, without needing the app.

Nobody keeps your number

Calls between you and your driver go through a number that belongs to neither of you.

One tap for help

The SOS button reaches the MyKaab safety desk around the clock and, if you have chosen one, your emergency contact.

Trip recording

Recordings are kept for 30 days and then deleted.

3 free minutes at pickup

Waiting is only charged after that, so a driver arriving a little early costs you nothing.

Cover on every trip

Passenger cover is on the bill of every trip, not an extra you have to remember to add.

Rider questions

The useful details.

The five riders ask most. The rest are on the questions page.

Four charges and two levies. A base fare charged once at the start, a rate for every kilometre, a rate for every minute, and waiting at ₦100 a minute after the first 3 minutes, which are free. On Economy that is ₦2,500 to start, ₦150 a kilometre and ₦50 a minute. Then trip insurance at ₦350 and the state road fund at ₦30. See the whole rate card.
