FAQ

Taxi apps in Lebanon,
answered.

Common questions about booking a taxi in Lebanon, and where Noqta fits. App coverage in Lebanon changes, so check before you travel.

Is there Uber in Lebanon?
Uber launched in Lebanon and announced service in Saida in 2018. Its current coverage there is something we have not been able to confirm, so check the Uber app for your area before relying on it. Noqta operates in Saida today.
Does Careem work in Lebanon?
No. Careem permanently stopped operating in Lebanon in 2022.
Does Bolt work in Saida?
Bolt lists Beirut as its only Lebanese city, so it does not cover Saida. Noqta does.
What is the best taxi app in Saida, Lebanon?
In Saida your realistic options are Noqta, a local taxi office you call, or a driver you already know. Noqta shows you the fare before you confirm and holds that price, and lets you set your pickup as an exact point on the map instead of describing an address.
Which cities does Noqta cover?
Saida, Lebanon. Noqta does not currently operate in other Lebanese cities — if you are outside Saida, the app will not be useful to you yet.
How much does Noqta cost?
You see the exact fare in the app before you confirm the ride, and that is what you pay. The app itself is free to download.
Can the price change during the ride?
No. The fare you confirm is the fare you pay. Traffic, delays or a longer route do not change it.
Do I need an account to book a ride?
You can set a pickup point and get moving without filling in a profile. See our Privacy Policy for exactly what is stored and how to delete it.
Can I get a taxi between Saida and Beirut airport?
Yes — we cover the route between Saida and Beirut airport in both directions. Call or message us on WhatsApp to arrange it.
Does Noqta have shared taxis (service) in Saida?
Yes. Noqta offers a shared Sedan alongside a private car, so you can split a ride the way a Lebanese service taxi works, but booked from the app with the fare shown first. Shared availability depends on the route you are travelling.
Can I book a taxi in advance in Saida?
Yes. Noqta lets you schedule a ride in Saida up to a week ahead, or book one immediately. You pick the day and time when you set your pickup point, which is useful for early departures you cannot risk missing.
Can I see where my taxi is in Noqta?
Yes. After you confirm a ride in Noqta you see the car moving on the map toward your pickup point, along with the minutes until it reaches you, the driver's name, and the car model and colour, so you know which vehicle is yours.
Can I share my taxi trip with someone in Noqta?
Yes. Noqta lets you send your live trip to a contact, and they can follow the ride on a map until you arrive. This is useful for night rides in Saida, or when someone is waiting for you at the other end.
What taxi apps work in Lebanon?
Careem left Lebanon in 2022 and Bolt lists Beirut as its only Lebanese city. Uber announced Saida in 2018, but its coverage there is unconfirmed. In Saida, Noqta operates today, showing the fare before you confirm and tracking the car to your door.
What if my pickup has no street address?
That is the reason Noqta exists. Tap the point on the map and your driver navigates to that exact point — no address, no landmark, no phone call to explain where you are.
