Cancun will become the 58th city in Mexico, where the platform operates.
InDrive received the license to operate in Cancun, from the government of Quintana Roo, which makes it the 58th city in the country where the travel application operates.
“Quintana Roo becomes a strategic state for the operation of inDrive in Mexico, so we are delighted to obtain the official operating license,” said Alexander Akhmataev, director of business development of inDrive for Latin America.
“We are confident that bringing our pioneering mobility model to Cancun will contribute to expanding the transportation options for all people, promoting the well-being of citizens, that is a milestone that demonstrates that public-private partnerships are profitable for all actors involved,” he added.
Through a statement, the platform reported that Luis Rodrigo Alcázar, director of the Mobility Institute of Quintana Roo, was the one who granted the official operating license to provide their services in the entity.
“We welcome inDrive to Cancun, the epicenter of the diverse state of Quintana Roo, when we started the conversations with the platform, we had cleared several fundamentals that had to be respected, first of all, guarantee compliance with the current legal framework, second make clear how local regulations of the sector are comprehensive and, above all, achievable. We are proud of the work they have done to achieve this feat and hope to see them grow in the market,” said Luis Alcázar. Akhmataev added that, obtaining the license involved hours of conversations with community leaders, government officials and other stakeholders in order to listen to all the actors in society.
On the other hand, in 2023, inDrive recorded a 51 percent growth in its local business in Mexico; as well as having increased 50 percent the number of independent drivers registered in the app.
Finally, the company emphasized that, entering the market of Quintana Roo, the company will provide a great alternative for more people to move from one place to another without having to worry about high rates.
