Taxis & Rideshare in Maseru - Grab, Uber & Local Taxis

## Getting Around Maseru by Taxi and Rideshare Maseru relies primarily on traditional taxi services for on-demand transportation, as international rideshare apps like Grab are not currently available in the city. Local taxis operate throughout the capital and can be found at designated taxi ranks near major landmarks like the Maseru Mall, government buildings, and hotels. To use a taxi, you can either visit a taxi rank or flag one down on the street – look for vehicles displaying taxi signage. It's advisable to agree on the destination and confirm the fare before starting your journey, as meters are not standard. For added convenience and safety, ask your hotel or restaurant to call a reputable taxi service for you, which is particularly recommended for evening travel or airport transfers. When choosing between taxi options in Maseru, consider your priorities and circumstances. Hotel-arranged taxis typically offer the most reliable service and English-speaking drivers, making them ideal for first-time visitors or those traveling with luggage to Moshoeshoe I International Airport. Street taxis provide more flexibility for spontaneous trips around the city center and are widely used by locals for everyday transportation. For business travelers or those prioritizing comfort, pre-booking through your accommodation ensures a known, vetted driver. Whichever option you choose, check current rates in the booking widget below, as fares can vary based on distance, time of day, and whether you're traveling within the city or to surrounding areas.
