"On ride-hailing app InDrive, riders and drivers have to do something many Uber users have never done: negotiate the price of a ride. Instead of accepting the trip price set by the app, passengers can submit their ride request along with a proposed payment amount. Drivers can then view the proposal and accept it or send a counteroffer."
"InDrive said it takes a commission of about 10% on each ride. By comparison, Uber hasn't disclosed how much it takes from each ride, but a recent study of driver trip data suggested it averaged 42% at the end of 2024."
"InDrive's pricing approach has helped it expand into 48 countries across Latin America, Asia, and Africa. In 2025, it was the second-most downloaded ride-hailing app worldwide, behind Uber, according to data provider Sensor Tower."
InDrive operates a unique ride-hailing model where passengers propose ride prices and drivers can accept or counteroffer, contrasting with Uber and Lyft's fixed pricing systems. The company takes approximately 10% commission per ride, significantly lower than Uber's estimated 42%. InDrive has expanded to 48 countries across Latin America, Asia, and Africa, becoming the second-most-downloaded ride-hailing app globally in 2025. The company entered the US market in 2023 with a Florida test but withdrew in 2024. Executives attributed the exit to higher insurance costs relative to other operating regions, which would have required raising commission rates to maintain profitability.
