UberGo affordable e-hailing service now available in South Africa

Uber South Africa has announced its budget e-hailing ride service UberNam has been renamed to UberGo and is now available nationwide.

“We are excited to announce that UberGo, a low-cost product available in Port Elizabeth since 2017, has become a permanent option across South Africa,” the company stated.

“We have therefore decided to change the name of UberNam to UberGo, to follow Uber global standards,” the company stated.

I've been using Uber Nam since December and at first there were few cars. Conditions were your destination could not be the airport.

What I noticed was that the same cars on the regular Uber were on Nam. I've never had a hatchback pick me up. It's also the same drivers too. They do complain about the lower rates though, even though this cheaper Uber was meant for smaller, more fuel efficient, older vehicles.
