How do I reserve a ride on Cabify?

Choose your destination point. Then Select 'Reserve' in the lower right corner of the screen. Choose the date and time you want your Cabify to pick you up and click on 'Continue'. Select the category you want to reserve and then click on 'Confirm reservation' and that's it!



Reserving a ride on Cabify in 2026 is a straightforward process through their mobile app or website. To start, open the app and enter your destination as if you were booking a ride "Now." Once the journey details are set, instead of clicking the final booking button, look for the "Reserve" or "Schedule" icon (usually a clock symbol) in the lower corner of the screen. You can then select your desired date and time, often up to 30 days in advance. Cabify typically requires reservations to be made at least two hours before the pickup time, especially for airport transfers. Once confirmed, you will receive an email and a push notification with the reservation details. A major benefit of Cabify's reservation system is that it often provides a fixed price guarantee, so you won't be subject to unexpected surge pricing if traffic or demand increases at the time of your actual departure.
