inDrive, the world’s second most-downloaded ride-hailing app, has launched in Riyadh, its second city in Saudi Arabia. The move strengthens inDrive’s presence in one of the world’s fastest-growing regions.
The Riyadh launch builds on strong interest seen in the Kingdom and continues inDrive’s investment in service quality and safety including driver verification, ride tracking and 24/7 customer support.
With inDrive, riders propose a fare and drivers choose to accept, decline or counter. This transparent in-app negotiation helps both sides agree on a fair price. Drivers also benefit from service fees that are 2–3× lower than typical industry rates.
inDrive holds strong positions across the Middle East and North Africa with top rankings in Morocco, Egypt and Algeria – reflecting sustained user demand for fair, affordable services across the region.
inDrive’s strategy is designed for fast-changing mobile-first economies where people demand services that are pitched as both affordable and fair.
The company recently began rolling out a modular super app anchored by high-frequency daily services like grocery that deepen engagement and create natural cross-sell into mobility, courier, Fintech and more. inDrive’s super app markets will see the mix of services that matters most locally rather than a one-size-fits-all blueprint.
“Riyadh is a big milestone for us,” said Arsen Tomsky, Founder and CEO, inDrive.
“We’re building a platform that treats people fairly and puts real choice back in their hands. Our negotiation model is simple, transparent and it works at scale. We will keep growing by staying local, listening to communities and delivering everyday value.”
To date, inDrive has completed more than 6.5 billion transactions and surpassed 360 million app downloads worldwide. The business operates with a capital-efficient, low-CAC, high-retention model that has already brought the company to EBITDA profitability while delivering double-digit growth in the first half of this year.
