To book a taxi with several stops in one ride, open the Taxi Masr app, set your final destination, then add the stops you need (up to 5) in order. The app calculates the distance and time across the whole route and shows you a single price on the official tariff before you confirm — with one flag fall, instead of a new flag fall at every stop.

Many passengers need to get more than one thing done in a single trip every day: dropping the children at school before work, stopping at several places to pick up supplies, or collecting colleagues on the way. This article explains how multi-stop rides save you time and money.

The problem with booking a separate ride for every stop

Without a multi-stop option, passengers are left with one of two costly choices:

  1. Ending the ride and ordering a new car at every stop: That means paying the flag fall several times (for example EGP 20 × 3 = EGP 60 in flag falls alone), and waiting for a new car each time.
  2. Agreeing verbally with the driver to wait: This often ends in an argument over the waiting charge and the final price.

Taxi Masr solves this with a single route calculated in advance and a clear price before you get in.

Cost comparison: separate rides vs one multi-stop ride

An example of a daytime trip in Mansoura with three stops, 8 km in total (3 + 3 + 2 km) and about 22 minutes of driving, on the official tariff (EGP 20 flag fall + EGP 5 per km + EGP 0.50 per minute):

Booking methodHow it is calculatedEstimated cost
3 separate rides3 × flag fall (60) + 8 km (40) + 22 min (11)≈ EGP 111
One multi-stop ride (Taxi Masr)One flag fall (20) + 8 km (40) + 22 min (11)≈ EGP 71
The differenceOne flag fall instead of three≈ EGP 40 saved (about 36%)

These are illustrative estimates; the actual price appears in the app before you confirm, and a captain may offer you a discount of up to 20% off the meter fare.

How to book a multi-stop taxi with Taxi Masr

  1. Open the Taxi Masr app: Set your pickup point precisely.
  2. Enter your destination: Then choose to add a stop.
  3. Add up to 5 stops: In the order you want (for example: school, then the supermarket, then the office).
  4. Check the price: The app calculates the distance and time across every stop and shows the total price on the official tariff.
  5. Confirm the request: The captain receives the full route with its stops and marks their arrival at each one, so you can follow the ride's progress without explaining the way every time.

When multi-stop rides are most useful

  • Shopping and errands: Stopping at more than one shop and leaving your purchases in the car before moving on, instead of carrying bags down the street.
  • Family and student trips: One ride with friends or neighbours in which everyone is dropped at their own door along the same route.
  • Medical errands: Picking up test results at the lab, then the clinic, then the pharmacy in one organised trip.

What about the time spent at each stop?

The price you see before you confirm is the price of the whole ride with all its stops, and no waiting meter is added for the stops. The only waiting that is charged is at the pickup point: the first 5 minutes are free, then EGP 1.50 per minute up to a maximum of EGP 30. Even so, keep each stop short out of respect for the captain's time.

Frequently asked questions about multi-stop taxi rides

Can I change the stops during the ride?

Stops are set when you request the ride and the price is calculated from them, so check your stops and their order carefully before confirming.

What is the maximum number of stops in one ride?

Up to 5 stops per ride, which covers most daily errands and shopping trips.

Can the captain refuse to stop at one of the stops?

The captain sees the full route with its stops before accepting the ride, so accepting the ride means accepting the whole route. If you run into a problem, you can file a complaint from the ride screen.

How do I pay for a multi-stop ride?

You pay the total once at the end of the ride: cash, InstaPay, a bank card (Visa / Mastercard / Meeza), or a POS terminal if the captain carries one.

Save time and effort by fitting your daily errands into one fair ride. Download the Taxi Masr app and start your multi-stop ride on the official meter.
