Moving the cities the big apps forgot.
Xryde is a Nigerian ride-hailing platform built for the cities and towns the industry overlooks. We started in Edo State, and we're growing everywhere Nigerians ask us to be.
Born in Auchi and Ekpoma, on purpose.
Ride-hailing changed how Nigeria's megacities move, but it stopped there. Outside Lagos and Abuja, millions of people in busy, growing towns still start every trip the old way: flagging down whatever passes, negotiating every fare, hoping for the best.
We didn't think that was fair. So instead of fighting for scraps in saturated cities, Xryde launched in 2026 where the need was real: Auchi and Ekpoma, university towns full of students, traders and families, plus the communities around them. That's 13 towns across Edo State and counting.
Every part of Xryde is built for how these cities actually work: fares you see before you book, cash accepted at the end of every trip, verified drivers from the same communities they serve, and an SOS button that takes safety seriously. From here we're expanding across Edo State and beyond, into Delta, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, and every town that asks for us.

The rules we don't break.
Start where we're needed
The big platforms chase megacities. We build for the towns they skip, because people in Auchi deserve the same tap-and-go ride as people in Lagos.
Safety as standard
Verified drivers, driver and vehicle details before you get in, in-app SOS with Trusted Contacts, and two-way ratings on every single trip.
Drivers are partners
A flat 12% commission means drivers keep 88% of every fare. New drivers get a 7-day free trial, and we're working toward a future where driving leads to owning the car.
Proudly Nigerian
Built in Nigeria, for Nigerian roads and realities: cash-friendly payments, local support you can actually call, and prices that make sense.
