How a Vilanculos taxi works

One message, then the car comes.

A Vilanculos taxi with EKAYA is a private car with a local driver for getting around Vilankulo town, with the price agreed on WhatsApp before you get in. Dinner on the beach road, the market, a lodge across town, back to your room after dark: here's the whole thing.

  1. When you need a ride

    Send us one message

    Tap the button and tell us where you are, where you’re going and when. We send the price for your ride in the chat.

    What if the price changes?

    It won’t. The price we send is the price you pay, and nothing is added at the end.

  2. Before the ride

    We send the price first

    You know what the ride costs before you get in, so there’s nothing to negotiate on the street.

  3. Pickup

    Your driver is confirmed

    Before the car arrives we send you your driver’s name and the car’s number plate on WhatsApp, so you know exactly who is coming. Then a local driver picks you up where you are, at the time you choose.

    What if I don’t know who’s picking me up?

    You will. Your driver’s name and the car’s plate are in your WhatsApp chat before the car arrives, so you can check them when it pulls up.

    What if we don’t speak Portuguese?

    You won’t need it. Everything is planned in advance, so your driver already knows where you’re going. And our drivers always do their best to communicate with you on the way.

  4. On the way

    Anywhere in town, day or night

    To dinner, the market, your lodge or back to your room, with a driver who knows the town.

    What if it’s after dark?

    No problem. Our drivers are local and very experienced on these roads at night, and the price is agreed beforehand either way.

  5. Need more time?

    Keep the car for longer

    Want it for a few hours, or a drive out of town? Tell us and we’ll agree the time and the price with you first.

How much is a taxi in Vilanculos?

Priced per ride, agreed first.

A Vilanculos taxi ride is priced per ride, because every ride is different: a hop to the market isn’t a lift across town. So we don’t publish a price list. We tell you the exact price for your ride before you get in, which means there’s nothing to negotiate on the street.

This is for getting around town. Airport runs and longer routes are fixed-price: see our Vilanculos airport transfers, Vilanculos to Tofo and all private transfers. New to town? Start with our Vilanculos guide and getting around Mozambique.

Before you ask

Vilanculos taxi questions, answered.

How much is a taxi in Vilanculos?
It's priced per ride, so the price depends on where you're going. Message us the pickup and the destination and we send the exact price before you get in. That's the price you pay.
How do I book a taxi in Vilanculos?
On WhatsApp. Tell us where you are, where you're going and when, and we reply with the price and send a driver. Nothing to fill in, no app to download.
Can you pick me up at night?
Yes. Our drivers are local and very experienced on these roads at night, and the price is agreed beforehand either way.
Can I book the car for longer than one ride?
Yes. Tell us what you need, whether that's a few hours around town or a longer drive, and we'll agree the time and the price with you before we set off.
Is this the same as an airport transfer?
No. This is for getting around town. Airport runs and longer routes are fixed-price transfers, such as Vilanculos airport to your hotel and Vilanculos to Tofo. If you're not sure which you need, just ask.
