What is the Yango number for a ride in Addis Ababa?
The published number for requesting a ride by phone in Addis Ababa is 8610. Call it when you want an operator to look for an available car. Tell the operator where you need to be picked up and where you want to go. Before ending the call, make sure you understand the details of the request. The number on this page is presented for ride requests. This page does not establish that it is a general support line for every Yango question.
Can you request a ride without internet?
Yes. The phone option lets you call and speak to an operator without using mobile data. This can help when you cannot open the app or would rather explain your pickup point aloud. The operator will look for an available car after you call. Availability and arrival details depend on the request, so confirm them during the call. Keep your phone close in case you need to clarify your location. If calling is inconvenient, you can make a ride request in the Yango app when you have internet access.
What happens when you call?
An operator looks for an available car after you call. Be ready to describe your pickup point clearly. A nearby landmark can help explain where you are, but do not assume the operator can find you from a landmark alone. Say where you want to travel, then check that the pickup and destination details were understood. Ask how you will recognize the car and how you will know when it arrives. The published page does not give a fixed arrival time, so ask for the details of your particular request instead of relying on a general estimate.
Why use the Yango app?
The app gives you another way to request a ride. It may suit you when you can use the internet and prefer to enter your trip details yourself. The phone option is useful when you need to make the request without internet. Choose the method that works for you at the moment. A request made through either method is for transportation provided by a third party. If you have a question about a specific ride, use the details given during that request. Phone and app requests may give you different information, so check the details for the method you use.
What should you check before a ride?
Check your pickup point, destination, and the details the operator gives you. If anything is unclear, ask before you finish the call. This page does not confirm a standard payment method or a fixed price. Ask which payment options apply to your request and what you should expect to pay. You can also ask how the car will be identified and how arrival information will reach you. Keep the details you receive so you can refer to them if you need help with that ride later.
