How do you pay with Cabify?

With Cabify, the easiest way to pay is electronically, via the app. Just add a payment method to your account and from then on, you'll be charged automatically at the end of the journey.



Paying with Cabify in 2026 is almost entirely digital and automated via the app. When you set up your account, you are required to add a payment method—typically a Credit/Debit card, PayPal, or Google/Apple Pay. Once your ride is complete, the fare is automatically deducted, and a digital receipt is sent to your email. In 2026, Cabify has also integrated with various "Corporate Billing" systems for business travelers. In certain markets, such as Spain and parts of Latin America (Mexico, Colombia, Chile), there is still a "Cash" option available, but you must select this before requesting the ride in the app's settings. If you choose cash, you pay the driver directly at the end of the trip. For international travelers in 2026, the "Digital" route is strongly advised to avoid currency exchange issues and to ensure a "contactless" experience. Additionally, the app allows you to pre-select a tip percentage (5%, 10%, or 15%) or add a custom tip after the journey is finished, which is also handled digitally through your saved card.
