How many people use Uber in NZ?

In our nationally representative poll, 40% of the respondents - representing some 2 million Kiwis - said that they had used the Uber app in the last 2 years.



As of March 2026, Uber maintains a significant presence in New Zealand, with an average monthly traffic of approximately 26,600 users according to recent mobility data. This figure represents a core segment of the active population in urban centers like Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch. Uber has become deeply integrated into the Kiwi transport fabric since its launch, though it competes with local alternatives like Ola and traditional taxi services. The usage reflects a broader trend of "mobility-as-a-service" in the country, where residents and tourists alike rely on the app for reliable, GPS-tracked transportation. While the absolute number of users is lower than in larger neighbors like Australia, the per-capita adoption rate remains high among the tech-savvy urban demographic and international visitors exploring the North and South Islands.
