Frequently asked questions

Does Uber work in Brazil?

Yes — Uber operates normally throughout Brazil.

What ride-hailing app should I use in Brazil?

99 is the recommended app to use in Brazil.

Why doesn't Uber work the same everywhere?

Uber has exited or been restricted in several markets due to local regulations or competitive sales — for example, it sold its Southeast Asia business to Grab and its China business to Didi, and has faced regulatory bans in a handful of European countries.

Should I download the local app before I arrive in Brazil?

Yes — download 99 and set up payment before you land, since some apps require a local phone number or work poorly without a data connection right at the airport.
