inDrive, the globally recognized mobility and urban services platform, has revealed a transformative launch for its peer-to-peer ride-hailing in 15 new Nigerian cities and freight services in Lagos Nigeria.
The announcement was made at the esteemed Lagos Startup Week, an event that celebrates entrepreneurship and innovation in Africa.
inDrive’s commitment to community empowerment through fair, transparent urban mobility, and delivery solutions is underlined by this new expansion within Nigeria. The company sees vast opportunities within this dynamic country and is eager to engage and serve new local markets.
The ride-hailing service has already achieved a triumphant operation in Lagos, Abuja, and Ibadan. With the forthcoming grand launch this July, the service will further extend its reach to Kano, Kaduna, Benin City, Nnewi, Aba, Onitsha, Jos, Enugu, Warri, Abeokuta, Akure, Owerri, Calabar, Ado, Ekiti and Uyo. These metropolitan areas stand to gain immensely from the access and convenience that InDrive provides.
Alongside this ride-hailing expansion, inDrive also introduces a pioneering solution named inDrive.Freight, designed to meet the pressing needs of commercial businesses, SMEs, and private individuals.
This on-demand, same-day delivery service caters to freight weighing from 20kg to 20tn. The unique peer-to-peer model allows customers to choose from various delivery options and a wide range of vehicles for city deliveries.
Headquartered in Mountain View, California, inDrive has already made significant strides in the ride-hailing industry, with its app being downloaded more than 175 million times and currently operating in 655 cities across 48 countries.
