Lalamove Ride is the latest entry in Malaysia’s competitive ride-hailing market, offering residents in Klang Valley a new 24/7 transportation option with affordable and transparent pricing.

The service, accessible via the existing Lalamove app, enables users to book rides just as they would schedule deliveries, creating a seamless experience for its customers.

Announced last week across Lalamove’s blog and social media channels, Lalamove Ride promises professional drivers and a streamlined booking process.

“If you’re familiar with Lalamove’s faster and cost-effective delivery service, it’s time to explore our latest offering,” the company said in a recent statement.

To access the service, existing Lalamove users can simply tap the “Ride” tab in the app, enter their destination, and select their pick-up time.

Currently, the service offers only one vehicle option—sedans—but the company hinted that the interface and options may evolve as Lalamove Ride grows.

Although Lalamove Ride is still new, the presence of another player provides increased flexibility and potential cost savings for passengers.

For now, Lalamove Ride is exclusively available in Klang Valley, and it remains to be seen how widely it will be adopted.

While the app interface isn’t as detailed as some competitors, Lalamove has expressed confidence in the service’s potential to expand its user base and attract more drivers.

The company’s approach of combining ride-hailing and delivery within one platform could set it apart, especially for users seeking convenience and efficiency.
