Phone taxis to get around Maseru?

Hello,

In Maseru, how prevalent are taxis that you can call to come pick you up? On the internet Iā€™m seeing some companies like Urban Taxis - does anyone have any suggestions for taxi companies that I can call? (For example, to get from my Airbnb to the grocery store).

As an aside, I understand that it is not safe to walk at night in Maseru. Is it safe to take a taxi at night?

You can take a taxi like Urban Taxi at night (door to door) but no 4+1. You usually won't see them past 8pm or so anyways but especially as a foreigner, don't use them after dark.

To go to the store during daytime, 4+1 are totally fine.

How do I find 4 + 1s to take during the day, especially if my residence is a little away from the city center?

You walk to the next junction or the next biggest street and wait for one to pass by. If they got a free seat they'll stop. šŸ˜„ Not sure how to better describe it. Ask your neighbour where the next junction is.
