For setting up InDrive before the trip, travelers advise disabling location access for the app, turning on a VPN, and registering with a phone number; the verification notice may arrive in Telegram. After arrival, location can be enabled to order rides and pay cash.

InDrive now verifies the start of a ride: the passenger shows or gives the in-app code, the driver enters it in their app, and the trip activates only then. Travelers also report more licensed taxis in the app and more newer vehicles with air conditioning.
