No Uber? No problem
Is there Uber in Belize? How to get a ride instead
There is no Uber in Belize. Belize is not on Uber's own list of cities (checked November 2026), and Lyft runs only in the United States and Canada. Ryde is the Belizean app for the same thing: set where you are going, see the fare, and a licensed taxi comes to you.
Coming January 1, 2027
What to use instead of Uber in Belize
Ryde
Book a licensed taxi in towns across Belize, see the fare before you book, and follow your driver on the map. Ryde opens January 1, 2027.
A taxi stand or your hotel
Licensed taxis wait at the airport, the Water Taxi Terminal and in town centres, and any hotel can call one.
The water taxi
For San Pedro and Caye Caulker, the boat from Belize City takes you across. No car or taxi crosses the water.
A rental
Rent a golf cart on the cayes or a car on the mainland, and drive yourself.

Why it is different from Uber
Ryde books only licensed taxis: a driver's own taxi, with a permit and insurance that covers passengers, each paper checked by a person. Taxis in Belize have no meters, so Ryde shows the fare first and nobody has to haggle. Drivers pay Ryde nothing: every fare and every tip is theirs.
