Planning a trip to Laos? Whether you’re exploring the ancient temples of Luang Prabang, wandering the vibrant streets of Vientiane, or heading to the scenic mountains of Vang Vieng, there’s one app that will make your journey smoother, safer, and smarter: LOCA Laos

From ride-hailing and digital payments to mobile connectivity, LOCA is the all-in-one app trusted by over 500,000+ international travelers in Laos. Here’s why tourists consistently rate LOCA as the #1 travel companion app in Laos—and why you should download it before you land.

🚖 1. Safe, Electric, and Reliable Rides in Laos

One of the biggest concerns for travelers in any new country is transportation. In Laos, LOCA offers the most trusted ride-hailing service, with a fleet of modern electric vehicles (EVs) and professional local drivers. Safety is the #1 reason international travelers choose LOCA taxis.

What makes LOCA different?

• Safety First: Every driver undergoes a strict background check and is covered by insurance up to 500 million LAK.

• No Haggling: With transparent pricing and in-app payments, there’s no need to negotiate fares.

• Real-Time Tracking: You can see your driver’s location and ETA in real-time.

• 24/7 Human Support: If you ever need help, LOCA’s support team is available around the clock.

• Eco-Friendly Travel: Many of LOCA’s cars are 100% electric, helping reduce emissions while you explore Laos.

Whether you need a quick ride from Wattay International Airport, a trip to your hotel, or a day of sightseeing, LOCA has you covered.

💳 2. Pay Anywhere with LOCA PAY – No Cash, No Problem

Laos is still a largely cash-based economy—but tourists using LOCA don’t need to carry kip everywhere.

With LOCA PAY, you can:

• Use your credit card to scan and pay any LAO QR code

• Access over 1 million merchants, from restaurants and cafés to hotels and local shops

• Seamlessly connect to QR codes from 19+ Lao banks—even in places where credit cards aren’t normally accepted

This makes LOCA the only app in Laos that gives tourists full access to QR code payments without needing to top up or exchange currency.
