Home › Compare ride prices
Fab is the independent rideshare comparison app that compares ride prices from 11 apps (Uber, Bolt, Lyft, Freenow, Heetch, G7 and five more), side by side, across the apps you have connected, so you find the cheapest ride before you tap Book.
To compare ride prices, open Fab, type your pickup and destination, and the app pulls the real fares of the moment from Uber, Bolt, Lyft, Freenow and seven more apps at once, then ranks them cheapest first. You see exactly which app is cheapest for your exact trip, right now, and book in the app you prefer. No more opening four apps one by one and guessing which one to pick. That's the whole point of Fab: one taxi price comparison, done in seconds, so you never book without seeing what the other apps are asking.
The reason a rideshare comparison app matters is simple: the cheapest option is almost never the same app twice. On the same route, Bolt can come out cheapest in the morning, Uber at lunch and a Freenow taxi at midnight, because pricing shifts with demand, promotions and each app's own surge rules. Checking one app tells you one price. Checking Fab tells you all eleven, and the difference between the first and the last is often 30 to 40 percent. Comparing before you book is the only reliable way to stop overpaying, and Fab makes it a two-second habit rather than a chore.
Fab asks each app you have linked for its price, at the same time. Eleven apps, one screen, the real prices of the moment.
Most price estimators guess. Fab doesn't. It fetches the exact fare each app would charge you at this moment (surge and promotions included) and puts them side by side. The number you see in Fab is the number you pay when you book. That's what makes Fab a genuine rideshare comparison app and not just another estimate widget: the real prices of the moment, sorted cheapest first, every single time you compare.
Fab doesn't just rank prices and leave you to it. You compare, pick the cheapest ride, and jump straight into that app to book: one tap, no app-hopping.
| App | Type | Sample price* |
|---|---|---|
| Bolt | Ride | Cheapest · ~£9 |
| Uber | Ride | ~£11 |
| Lyft | Ride | ~£12 |
| Freenow | Taxi | ~£13 |
*Illustrative example for a short city trip. Real prices are compared in the Fab app and change with route, time and demand: the cheapest app is rarely the same twice.
Fab isn't rideshare-only. It runs a full taxi price comparison alongside the ride apps, so licensed taxis and private-hire cars land in the same list. Freenow, G7 and LeCab sit right next to Uber, Bolt and Lyft, and a metered taxi often beats a surging rideshare fare. Comparing both in one screen is the only way to know which is actually cheaper for your trip, and Fab does it automatically.
Licensed taxis with an upfront fare. Fab adds the intermediation fee so the price you compare is the price you pay.
France's largest taxi network. A regulated metered fare that can undercut a surging ride at peak times.
Premium private-hire cars with fixed pricing, compared line for line against every rideshare option in Fab.
Surge doesn't hit every app at the same time or by the same amount. When Uber spikes on a rainy Friday night, Bolt, Lyft or a Freenow taxi may still be at a normal fare, and Fab shows you that gap instantly. Because Fab compares real prices with surge already baked in, you can see who is surging and who isn't, then book the app that isn't. It's the simplest way to beat surge pricing: don't guess which app got hit, compare all eleven and take the cheapest ride still standing.
Long trips are where the price gap between apps is widest, and an airport run is the longest most of us take. Between the city and the terminal, one app can be £15 more than another for the identical route. Fab runs an airport transfer price comparison across Uber, Bolt, Lyft, Freenow and the taxi networks, so you lock the cheapest ride to or from the airport instead of paying whatever the first app quotes.

You enter your pickup and destination, and Fab asks each app you have linked for its price, at the same time (Uber, Bolt, Lyft, Freenow and more), then sorts the real prices of the moment from cheapest to most expensive. There's nothing to configure: you see the prices side by side for your exact trip, then you choose the app you book in.
Yes, completely. Fab is free to download and free to use, with no ads. You only pay for your ride, at the price shown by the app you pick: Fab never takes a commission and never marks the price up.
No app is cheaper every time: the cheapest app changes with the route, the time of day, demand and promotions. That's exactly why Fab exists: instead of guessing, it compares Uber, Bolt and 9 other apps and shows you which is cheapest at the moment you order. See more questions →
