How ride-sharing services Uber, Ola and Zoomy compare in Auckland. Kiwi drivers working for our three biggest ride-share companies have revealed which takes the biggest cut.

In New Zealand, Uber's most significant direct competitor is Ola, an Indian-based ride-sharing giant that has established a strong presence in major cities like Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch. Ola often competes aggressively on price, offering frequent discount codes to riders and a higher percentage of the fare to drivers to build its network. Another notable rival is Zoomy, a locally owned and operated New Zealand company that markets itself on being "kiwi-owned" and providing better support for local drivers. Additionally, DiDi, the Chinese ride-hailing powerhouse, has expanded into the New Zealand market, providing further competition with its own app-based platform. For those looking for more traditional alternatives, the "Your Ride" app and various established taxi fleets like Auckland Co-op Taxis have modernized their services with their own booking apps to compete in the digital space. As of 2026, the market remains a battleground between these global players and local favorites, ensuring that passengers generally have multiple options for app-based transport across the country.
