These Are the Best Rideshare Apps to Use When Traveling Internationally

When traveling abroad, it’s not enough to assume Uber will be the only rideshare option. App availability shifts by country and city, so travelers are urged to download relevant apps before departure and verify service using tools like Google Maps. In Maps, checking the Taxi directions tab can reveal supported rideshare services and sometimes price estimates with app download links. The article highlights regional leaders: Grab across Southeast Asia, Careem across the Middle East (14 countries, including Egypt, Morocco, Kuwait, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia), and Ola in India, where it holds about 60% market share and supports multiple vehicle types. It also notes DiDi in China and beyond, BlaBlaCar in Europe for longer carpool trips, and 99 in Brazil with last-minute booking features.
