Uber is currently the leading cab service in South Africa with over 969,000 active riders and 12,000 drivers. The app was founded in 2008 by two men in Paris, while the app only reached SA shores in 2013.
With just a click of a button, you can request a ride from almost anywhere in South Africa. This is a free service that is available on all Android and iPhone devices.
Users can choose whether they want to pay via credit card or whether they would prefer cash. Not only this, but riders can decide on the type of experience they want.
