Careem, the region’s leading multi-service platform, has reduced fares for GO, its value-focused car category, making it the best priced ride in Qatar. Customers can now book trips for as little as QR 7.5, which is 10% lower than previous fares. This means that a trip from the Old Airport to Westbay will fall from QR 15 to QR 14. Savings on longer trips are even more attractive; a ride with Careem GO from Al Nasr to The Mall of Qatar is now just QR 24, down from QR 27
The reduced fares are a win-win for both Customers and Captains, as Careem has decreased its margins to ensure that Captains earn more than 80% of the trip fare.
Commenting on the new pricing model, Khaled Nuseibeh, General Manager of Careem EMGCC, said: “With demand for rides exceeding supply during peak hours, we saw a need for a more affordable alternative. By reducing fares for Careem GO, we are opening up our platform to more people across Qatar and providing more business for our hard-working Captains, thereby ensuring that everyone can get their day moving with Careem without compromising on experience or reliability.”
