inDrive, the world’s second most-downloaded ride-hailing app, has launched its services in Riyadh, marking its second city in Saudi Arabia. This move strengthens inDrive’s presence in one of the world’s fastest-growing regions, building on strong interest seen in the Kingdom. The company continues to invest in service quality and safety, including driver verification, ride tracking, and 24/7 customer support.
With inDrive, riders propose a fare and drivers choose to accept, decline, or counter. This transparent, in-app negotiation helps both sides agree on a fair price. Drivers also benefit from service fees that are 2–3 times lower than typical industry rates, making the platform attractive for gig workers.
inDrive holds strong positions across the Middle East and North Africa, with top rankings in Morocco, Egypt, and Algeria, reflecting sustained user demand for fair, affordable services across the region. The company’s strategy is designed for fast-changing, mobile-first economies where people demand services that are both affordable and fair.
Recently, inDrive began rolling out a modular SuperApp, anchored by high-frequency daily services like grocery delivery, that deepen engagement and create natural cross-sell opportunities into mobility, courier, fintech, and more. The super app markets will see the mix of services that matters most locally, rather than a one-size-fits-all blueprint.
“Riyadh is a big milestone for us,” said Arsen Tomsky, Founder and CEO of inDrive. “We’re building a platform that treats people fairly and puts real choice back in their hands. Our negotiation model is simple, transparent, and it works at scale. We will keep growing by staying local, listening to communities, and delivering everyday value.”
To date, inDrive has completed more than 6.5 billion transactions and surpassed 360 million app downloads worldwide. The business operates with a capital-efficient, low-CAC, high-retention model that has already brought the company to EBITDA profitability, while delivering double-digit growth in the first half of this year.

The launch in Riyadh is expected to intensify competition in the ride-hailing market, offering consumers an alternative pricing model and drivers a more favorable revenue split. As inDrive continues to expand its footprint, its focus on fairness and affordability could reshape mobility services in the region.
