Moto-Taxis

🏍️ Moto-Táxis in Luanda – Fast and Budget-Friendly Transport

Moto-táxis are one of the fastest and most flexible ways to get around Luanda, especially during rush hour. These motorbikes operate throughout the city, often stationed at busy corners or moving through neighbourhoods looking for passengers.

💸 Prices and How It Works:

  • Typical fares range from 300 Kz to 1000 Kz, depending on distance (around €0.35 to €1.20)

  • Always negotiate the price before the ride, as there are no meters

  • Payment is made in cash

  • Some drivers are part of cooperatives or wear vests with identification — choose these when possible for added safety

🪖 Safety Tips:

  • Helmets are not always offered — if you’re staying long-term, it’s best to bring your own

  • Avoid riding at night unless it’s absolutely necessary

  • Wear trousers and avoid open shoes for better protection

  • Don’t use moto-táxis with two passengers already on board — it’s illegal and more dangerous

💡 Moto-táxis are ideal for short distances or when you’re in a hurry. Just make sure you prioritise safety and choose trustworthy drivers.
