Fiafia Ride

Fiafia Ride is a taxi booking app for Upolu, Samoa. Book a taxi from your phone, see the price before you book, watch your car arrive on the map, and pay the driver (your captain) in cash at the end of the trip. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Book a taxi: set your pickup on the map and choose where you are going. • See the fare before you book, in tala (WST), for a Standard car (4 seats) or a Larger car (6 seats). • Hire a taxi and its captain by the hour. • Track your taxi live on the map as it drives to you, then along the road to your drop-off. • See your captain's first name, photo, car, plate number and rating. • Message or call your captain about your pickup. • Share a live link of your trip with family or friends. • Call 911 from the trip screen in an emergency (it always asks first). • Rate your captain after the trip. • See your past trips and save or share an invoice (PDF). • Save places like Home and your favourites for quick booking. MORE THAN TAXIS • Food: order from local restaurants and cafés, collect at the counter and pay cash there. • Rent a car or a bike by the day from local rental companies. • Find houses and fales to rent by the night or the month. • Browse cars for sale from dealers and people, or put your own car up for sale. • Explore: the best places on Upolu and Savai'i, with a Ride Here button to get there. MADE FOR SAMOA Many places in Samoa have no street address, so pickup works by pin: the app shows the nearest village or landmark, such as "Near Fugalei Market". Taxis run on Upolu. PAYMENT Cash only. You pay your captain, or the business, in person. There are no payments or purchases inside the app. SAFE CAPTAINS Every captain is approved in person by the Fiafia Ride office, which checks their driver's licence and car. FOR CAPTAINS (TAXI DRIVERS) Apply to drive in the app and meet the office. Once approved, go online to receive taxi requests near you, get directions to the pickup and drop-off, and see your earnings, daily statements and platform fee. YOUR PRIVACY We collect only what a ride needs. Your exact location is shared with your captain only while they are coming to pick you up. You can ask us for a copy of your data, and delete your account in the app.
