Ride-hailing in Nigeria

Ride-Hailing Fares & Availability in Kano, Nigeria

Bolt is confirmed operating in Kano. Fares and driver availability across Nigeria have been under real pressure since fuel prices jumped in early 2026, which drove multi-day driver strikes over commission and pricing in March. Check current fares directly in the Bolt, Uber, and inDrive apps before you ride — availability and pricing shift city to city and week to week.

Worth knowing: This city has lower confirmed smartphone and social-media adoption than Nigeria's southern hubs — expect fewer active drivers and less consistent availability than in Lagos or Abuja.
