Maidride
for the City
Maidride
The first real ride-hailing service for underserved Cities
Vetted drivers, upfront fares, real-time tracking.
Your city. Your price. Your ride.
Built different.
For this city.
We didn't copy-paste a Lagos startup. We built Maidride from the ground up for how people actually move in Maiduguri.
Safety that's real
Every driver has a verified license, inspected vehicle, and clean record. Your trip is tracked start to finish. Share your live location with family with one tap.
Fares you agree to first
See the full price before you book. Distance + time = your fare. No surge pricing, no driver haggling, no surprise at the end of the trip.
Every corner of Maiduguri
Gwange, Shehuri, Bolori, Bulumkutu, Old Maiduguri — we go where you need to go. No 'that area is far' from our drivers.
Three taps.
You're moving.
No registration hoops. No cash upfront. Just open, tap, ride.
Enter destination
Open Maidride, type where you're going. See the full fare instantly — distance-based, no mystery pricing.
Driver accepts
A vetted driver near you accepts the trip. You see their name, car, plate, and live location on the map.
Ride & arrive
Your driver picks you up and takes you there. Rate the trip after. Pay cash at the end.
We are serious about safety. Full stop.
In a city where most transport is informal, we decided to build trust from scratch. Here's how.

Maiduguri first.
Everywhere next.
We launched in Maiduguri because this is home. Every city we add next will get the same care and attention — not a generic rollout.

Maiduguri is talking.
“I booked a ride at 6am and the driver was there in 4 minutes. Nothing else in this city gives you that.”
“Finally something built for us. Not Lagosians, not Abuja people — for us. The prices make sense here.”
“My daughter uses it to get to school. I can see where she is the whole time. That alone is worth everything.”
“Driver was professional, car was clean. I've stopped flagging down kabu-kabu. This is the future.”
“The fare shown before booking is the fare I paid. That hasn't happened to me before with any service.”
“Signed up as a driver two months ago. Made more this month than in the whole last quarter of my old job.”
