Uber and Bolt are not widely available for ride-hailing services in Maputo, Mozambique, though local alternatives do exist and can be used with your eSIM data.
While major international ride-hailing apps like Uber and Bolt have a limited or no presence in Maputo, you'll find local options for getting around. Apps such as Txopela (for motorbike taxis and tuk-tuks) and Moz Taxi are used by residents and can be downloaded and utilized with your eSIM data connection. Traditional metered taxis are also readily available, particularly at Maputo International Airport (MPM) and major hotels, but it's advisable to agree on a fare beforehand.
Your eSIM will automatically connect to the strongest available major mobile network in Mozambique, ensuring you have reliable data for navigation, communication, and using any local ride-hailing apps. The exact network provider may vary depending on your specific eSIM plan. We recommend checking the current availability of local apps upon arrival or arranging airport transfers in advance, especially if arriving late.
