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

In Gabon, the dominant door-to-door option is the shared or private local taxi. Vehicles range from older saloon cars to newer minivans and are flagged down on the street or arranged through your hotel or restaurant. Trips within Libreville, Port-Gentil or Franceville are usually negotiated before you get in, simply state your destination and agree on the fare. If the driver nods, you're set. For added comfort or when travelling with luggage, ask for a "course" (private hire) rather than a "woro-woro" shared ride. The former keeps the car to yourself, while the latter may pick up additional passengers en route. Taxis are plentiful in city centres and around transport hubs. But after dark you may need to walk to a main road or phone your hotel concierge to call one for you. Because Grab and other international rideshare apps do not operate in Gabon, taxis remain the only on-demand option. Choose a private taxi when you prioritise comfort, air-conditioning and direct routing, good for airport runs or late-night travel. Shared taxis are the go-to for short hops in busy districts and cost noticeably less, though you'll trade personal space and travel time. Always confirm the fare up front, carry small notes, and agree whether the price is per person or for the entire vehicle. For current rates and reliable bookings, use the local widget below.
