Taxis & Rideshare in Juba (2026) - Grab, Uber & More

In Juba, the only door-to-door transport you can reliably hail is the city's network of local taxis. These are usually older saloon cars with a yellow band or taxi sign on the roof. They cruise the main thoroughfares such as Airport Road, Ministries Road, and around major hotels and markets. To use one, simply stand on the curb and wave, drivers will slow down and you can negotiate the destination and fare through the window before getting in. Most taxis are shared, so expect to ride with other passengers going in roughly the same direction. If you prefer privacy you can ask for a "special hire," which means the entire car for yourself. Because there is no formal dispatch system, it helps to have your destination described by a nearby landmark rather than a street address, and to agree on the price before the journey starts. For travelers prioritizing comfort or traveling late at night, requesting a "special hire" taxi is the best option, just tell the driver you want the car exclusively and confirm the arrangement before departure. During busy daylight hours, shared taxis are the quickest way to move around the city center and cost significantly less, though you may make several stops. If you are arriving at Juba International Airport, taxis queue outside the terminal. Approach the first vehicle in line and negotiate directly, as there is no meter. Always check live rates in the booking widget below before you travel, since fares can shift with fuel prices and demand.
