Gett returns to international markets months after exiting them
The Israeli ride-hailing company is partnering with HQ to let customers book taxis and other rides abroad through its app, with prices displayed in shekels and Hebrew-language customer service.
Gett announced Wednesday that it is launching a new service in partnership with HQ that will allow Israeli users to book rides abroad and pay directly through the Gett app, with prices displayed upfront in shekels.
According to the company, the service will initially be available in 25 countries as part of a trial and will later expand to more than 70 countries.
With the launch, Gett users will be able to book rides abroad through the familiar Israeli app, with trips provided by local and international transportation companies. Users will not need to download additional apps or register separately with the local providers. Customer service will be provided by Gett in Hebrew through the app.
HQ is an Israeli-American technology company developing a platform for managing transportation and mobility services for businesses. It connects hundreds of local transportation providers and fleets across more than 1,000 cities worldwide, enabling it to provide Gett with access to transportation services in destinations around the world.
As part of the partnership, Gett customers will be able to choose from a range of transportation options, including taxis, electric vehicles, premium cars and larger vehicles. The service will also offer Uber-style shared rides in some locations.
The various options will appear directly in the Gett app, similar to the experience Israeli users are accustomed to at home. Prices will be displayed in shekels before booking, and payment will be made using the payment method already saved in the app.
The service will initially be available in Austria, Italy, Ireland, the United States, Belgium, Georgia, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Hungary, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Finland, the Czech Republic, France, Canada, Cyprus, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.
The launch marks a return to international markets for Gett, albeit through a very different model.
In April 2026, Gett officially ended its remaining operations outside Israel after selling its London business to Lyft for approximately $55 million. The deal brought an end to Gett's direct international operations and left the company focused entirely on the Israeli market. Its operations in Russia had previously been suspended following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine.
Gett is now returning to international markets without rebuilding and operating its own transportation networks abroad. Instead, it will act as the customer-facing platform, connecting Israeli users with local transportation providers through HQ's global network.
The model allows Gett to offer an international service without the infrastructure, regulatory exposure and operational costs associated with directly running transportation businesses in multiple countries.
