inDrive, a global mobility and urban services platform operating across 48 countries, has once again been named the world’s second most downloaded ride-hailing app, maintaining its impressive growth momentum in 2024 for the third year in a row, according to leading market intelligence firm Sensor Tower. inDrive also ranked as the fifth most downloaded app globally in the travel and navigation category.
With over 280 million app downloads globally, inDrive now ranks among the top five most downloaded travel apps, alongside Google Maps and Waze. While this model has been key to inDrive’s success in many markets, pricing structures vary by country. In the Philippines, where bid-based pricing is not applicable, inDrive instead focuses on providing Filipinos transparency on vehicle types, distance from pick-up point, and fair pricing based on the local regulations, among others.
Building on its mission to challenge injustice and improve lives, inDrive has expanded beyond ride-hailing to include city-to-city and intercity transportation, courier services, freight solutions, and urban services like housekeeping and home repairs.
