Accra, your uberX is arriving!

Uber has officially arrived in Ghana’s most economically vibrant hub! Accra continues to be a place where businesses are born, and has become one of Africa’s fastest growing cities. The city is alive with colourful people, vibrant streets and constant innovation – these are just a few of the reasons why Uber loves Accra.

That’s right! You can now request a safe, reliable and affordable ride at the tap of a button. Whether you’re headed to Kotoka International Airport, Marina Mall, Labadi Beach or anywhere in between – simply request uberX from your smartphone and enjoy the ride!

What is Uber?

For those who don’t know about Uber, we help people get a ride at the tap of a button – there’s no flagging your hands to stop a taxi or entering an unfamiliar car. It’s the most convenient way to get a safe, reliable and affordable ride – the app detects your location, tells you about your driver in advance, and you can choose to pay with card or cash, which makes it easy and safer for both riders and drivers.

To request a ride:

1. Download the Uber App
2. Register with your personal details
3. Choose your pick-up location, request a ride and track your car in real-time

With Uber, riders can also share the costs of their ride with a tap of a button — which means whether you are heading to the airport, doing some shopping at Marina Mall, planning movie nights at Silverbird Cinema or going out for some late night partying, you will get there for less!
