On 27 August 2026, BDrive officially started rides in Qatar. The company was set up before then; 27 August is the day our ride service officially began for the public across Greater Doha — and we couldn't be more proud to serve this community.

Built for Qatar

BDrive was built from the ground up for the Qatari market. That means QAR pricing with no hidden surcharges, phone numbers in the +974 format, full Arabic right-to-left support, and a customer experience team in Doha available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Where and how you can ride

Riders can book across Central Doha, West Bay, The Pearl, Lusail, Hamad International Airport and many more areas, in four ride categories: Economy, Comfort, SUV and Premium. You see the fare in QAR before you confirm.

Drivers you can trust

Every driver is reviewed before their first ride: our team checks their Qatar ID, driving licence and vehicle registration (istimara), and looks at photos of the car. Safety isn't a feature we added at the end — it's the foundation.

BDrive is licensed by Qatar's Ministry of Transport, and you can check the Ministry's list of licensed companies yourself.

What comes next

Rides are just the beginning. Item delivery, shipping & logistics, and pick & drop are in development and will arrive in the same app. Follow along on our Roadmap, or get the app from the Download page.

Thank you to every rider, every driver, and every Doha resident who believed in BDrive. Let's move Qatar forward together.
