Obr - اطلب تكسي

What the Obr taxi app is for

Obr - اطلب تكسي is a taxi booking app for passengers in Iraq. A rider sets a destination, and the app connects them with a nearby captain. The developer says the service has run since 2017 and calls it the first Iraqi taxi app.

The listing says the app covers trips inside Iraqi cities and between provinces. It is aimed at people who need a ride without arranging one by phone with a driver they do not know. The developer also says a 24/7 support line is available for riders who need help.

Cities covered and travel between provinces

The developer lists Baghdad, Mosul, Anbar, Kirkuk, Najaf, Erbil, Karbala and Babylon as the places where it operates at full capacity. It also says riders can travel between these provinces.

Because intercity trips are listed alongside city rides, the app can be used for longer journeys as well as short local ones. The listing does not give fares or distances for those trips.

Choosing a vehicle and scheduling a ride

Riders can choose between a standard taxi, a private car, or a larger vehicle for more passengers. The vehicle type is picked before the request is sent.

A ride can be booked straight away or scheduled in advance. The developer says scheduling lets riders plan a trip around their own timetable.

Fare estimates, cash and the built-in e-wallet

The app shows the expected fare before the trip begins. According to the developer, this lets riders know the price before they get in the car.

Payment can be made in cash or through an e-wallet built into the app. The listing does not describe how the e-wallet is funded.

Following a captain and messaging during a trip

After a request is accepted, the rider can follow the captain's approach on a map. The app also sends a notification for each update to the trip.

The listing says calls and messages with the captain are free inside the app. A rider can also share the route with family members, who can follow the trip as it happens.

After each trip, riders can rate the journey. The developer says the captain's rating is visible before a booking is made, so riders can check it first.

Safety measures and booking by phone

The developer says every trip is covered by full health insurance. It also says captains are registered in person, trained, and have their vehicles inspected on a regular basis.

Customer service runs 24 hours on the short number 6188, by call, by message and through all of the company's platforms. If the internet drops, the listing says a rider can call 6188 and a car will be sent.
