Why are we increasing fares?
While we have always tried to keep prices as low as possible, we need to be aware of the increased costs for driver-partners. This comes after implementing an in-depth earnings review to ensure that the Uber app continues to be a reliable economic opportunity for driver-partners, as well as an affordable option for riders.

Safety tips you need to follow as you move around:

  1. Please wear masks at all times and use an alcohol based hand sanitizer before and after every trip.
  2. Practice social distancing by sitting in the back seat and only a maximum of 2 riders allowed in the vehicle.
  3. We also encourage you to use card payments if possible to reduce the number of contacts during the trip.

If you feel sick or unwell, please do not go out and make sure to call the NCDC hotline by dialing 080097000010.

We believe that these fares remain competitive, and we’re committed to offering a high-quality service to riders in Lagos
