Cabify
Strong in Spain and Latin America. Often more reliable in mid-size cities.
What Cabify is
Cabify is a ride-hailing app focused on Spain and Latin America, where it is a well-established alternative to Uber. Travelers often find it reliable in mid-size cities and value its upfront pricing: the fare is locked in before you book, although it does rise at times of high demand.
What it does for travelers
- ✓Upfront fixed fares quoted before you confirm the ride
- ✓Professional driver network with vehicle and sometimes premium tiers
- ✓In-app card payment, with cash accepted in some Latin American markets
- ✓Live tracking and trip-sharing safety features
- ✓Scheduled rides in many cities for airport pickups
Good to know
- Strongest in Spain and across Latin American countries such as Colombia, Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay; not a global service (it exited Mexico in 2024).
- Free to download; you pay per trip at the quoted fare
- Registration with a phone number is required, and a payment method may need setting up before your first ride
- Local payment options differ by country, so check what is offered at booking
Travel tips
- Because fares are fixed upfront, Cabify can be predictable when local taxis bargain, though it adds its own surcharge at times of high demand
- Book a scheduled ride the night before for early airport departures
- Confirm the driver and licence plate before getting in, especially at busy ranks
- Have a backup app installed, as driver availability can thin out in smaller cities late at night
When to reach for it
Choose Cabify in Spain and Latin America when you want a fare fixed before you book and a more consistent experience than informal taxis or thinly covered rivals in mid-size cities.

Cabify — frequently asked
Where does Cabify operate?
Primarily in Spain and across several Latin American countries. It is not available worldwide, so confirm coverage for your destination in the app.
Does Cabify use surge pricing?
Yes, in its own way. Cabify adds a high-demand surcharge at busy times, but the fare is quoted upfront and fixed before you confirm, so it won't change mid-trip.
Can I pay by cash?
Cash is accepted in some Latin American markets but not everywhere. The payment methods available are shown when you request the ride.
