Taxis & Rideshare in Ubon Ratchathani - Grab, Uber & Local Taxis

# Taxi and Rideshare Options in Ubon Ratchathani Ubon Ratchathani offers two main ground transportation options: traditional local taxis and the Grab rideshare app. **Grab** operates in the city and provides the convenience of cashless payment, upfront fare estimates, and driver tracking through the app. To use Grab, download the app, set your pickup location and destination, and the app will show available drivers and estimated arrival times. This option works well for travelers who prefer knowing their route in advance and having a digital record of their journey. Local taxis are readily available throughout Ubon Ratchathani, particularly at the airport, bus stations, and major hotels. These traditional taxis typically use meters, though it's advisable to confirm the driver will use the meter before departing, or agree on the fare beforehand for longer journeys. **For different travel situations**, Grab offers excellent convenience for travelers unfamiliar with the local language, as destinations are set in the app and there's no need for negotiation. It's particularly useful for hotel-to-attraction trips or when you want payment handled digitally. Traditional taxis provide a comfort option when you need immediate service without waiting for app matching, or when traveling to areas where rideshare coverage may be limited. Both services can handle airport transfers and city tours - check current rates in the booking widget below for the most up-to-date pricing. For the best experience with local taxis, having your destination written in Thai or shown on a map can be helpful, while Grab handles this automatically through its interface.
