Need a ride? You can book one now on Lalamove

Let's be real, getting around Metro Manila can be a total adventure (and not always the fun kind!). Although public transport is an option, it often falls short, especially if you're carrying a lot of things or need to reach your destination quickly.

If you're tired of the commute struggle, Lalamove's got you covered. They're not just about deliveries anymore—now you can book a ride with them too with Lalamove Ride.

"We're taking a step further in our mission to make your life easier and more efficient," it wrote in the newsletter announcement.

"Ride Hailing is another step towards making Lalamove your go-to solution for all your transportation needs. We are confident that this feature will add value to your day-to-day commutes and travels," it added.

To access this new service, Lalamove said to make sure to update your app to the latest version.

Then, click the "Ride" option and input the pick-up and drop-off points.

Next, select your vehicle option—either Car, which is ideal for up to four passengers, or CarXL, an SUV/MPV is ideal for up to six passengers.

After doing so, add your contact number and choose your preferred payment method. Once you've reviewed the order, tap "Place Order" and wait until you match with a driver.

Lalamove is now among the ride-hailing apps available in the country, alongside Grab, inDrive, Joyride, and Angkas.
