Which of the 3 apps, GO, Uber and DiDi, works for calling a taxi in Miyazaki Prefecture depends on the city or town. Only Miyazaki City is covered by all 3 apps, and beyond that, GO covers only Kunitomi Town and Aya Town. This page lists the municipalities named on the official service-area pages of the 3 apps, and the 23 municipalities that are not named.
In short

- GO only: Kunitomi Town and Aya Town.
- Not named by any app: 23 of the 26 municipalities. Call a taxi company directly.
- Fees: GO charges a ¥100 app arrangement fee that depends on the taxi company. Uber charges ¥100 in its target areas, but Miyazaki is not named on its list.

3. Pickup fee and app arrangement fee
GO’s app arrangement fee is ¥100, and whether it applies depends on the taxi company. On the “choose a taxi company” screen before you request a car, you can see whether that company charges it. The pickup fee is “the fee charged when the customer is picked up”, and the amount is set by each taxi company’s rules. GO also lists a ¥100 handling fee when you choose to pay in the car, a peak charge of about ¥30 to ¥100 at times and places where demand is concentrated, and a cancellation fee from ¥500. However, Miyazaki Prefecture is not on the list of areas where the app arrangement fee, handling fee and peak charge occur in GO’s help pages (checked October 13, 2026; GO says the service areas will be expanded in turn). The safest way is to check the fee details in the app before you call. (GO Help: app arrangement fee / handling fee / peak charge and off-peak discount / GO fares, Japanese)
The pickup fee on Uber Taxi goes to the taxi company. The amount differs by company, and some partner companies do not set one. The estimated fare shown in the app does not include the pickup fee, so it is added on top of the meter fare. Separately, from September 28, 2026, Uber Taxi rides starting in the municipalities of the target areas carry an app arrangement fee (travel agency handling fee) of ¥100 (tax included) per ride. Rides at fixed airport fares are excluded. Uber’s help page says the target is “each target municipality in 20 prefectures”, but the list on the page shows only 11 prefectures, and Miyazaki Prefecture is not named. Before you ride, check the fare breakdown behind the “i” mark after you choose the vehicle type in the app. (Uber Help: about the app arrangement fee, Japanese)
DiDi says the fare is calculated by the meter in the taxi, and that you also pay the pickup fee, highway tolls and other charges incurred during the trip. The fee for reserved orders (¥300 to ¥780) applies in some areas, such as Hokkaido. (DiDi FAQ, Japanese)
4. Where the apps do not work
If you suddenly need a taxi outside Miyazaki City, Kunitomi Town and Aya Town, you can phone a company in a nearby city or town. See the list of taxi companies in Miyazaki Prefecture (Japanese). If you need a designated driver service, use the list of designated driver services in Miyazaki Prefecture (Japanese).
