💰
Pay on Arrival
Cash, Africell Money, or Orange Money. No upfront payment required.
Getting from Lungi to Freetown
The Lungi–Freetown crossing involves either the water taxi (Sea Coach Express — 30 min) or the government ferry (1–2 hrs). We coordinate both options and can book your water taxi ticket alongside your taxi transfer.
We recommend the water taxi for speed and reliability, especially if you have a connecting commitment in Freetown. Message us your arrival time and we'll arrange everything.
📤
Share Your Ride with Family or Colleagues
Once your driver is confirmed, we send you their name, phone number and vehicle plate via WhatsApp. Forward that message to a family member or colleague so they know exactly who is picking you up — the same trip-sharing safety feature used by Uber and Bolt, powered by WhatsApp so it works everywhere in Sierra Leone.
