Frequently asked questions

Does Uber work in Singapore?

No — Uber does not operate in Singapore. Uber sold its Southeast Asia business to Grab in 2018 — Grab is the dominant ride-hailing app in Singapore.

What ride-hailing app should I use in Singapore?

Grab is the recommended app to use in Singapore.

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 Singapore?

Yes — download Grab 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.
