TADA

Book a premium van ride in Korea using an international phone number and foreign credit card — no local SIM or Korean bank account required. About TADA: TADA is a Korean premium ride-hailing service operated by VCNC, a subsidiary of Viva Republica (the company behind the Toss banking app). Unlike Kakao T, Korea's dominant taxi app which effectively requires a Korean phone number and bank-linked payment, TADA was built to also work for visitors, accepting international mobile numbers and foreign credit cards, and running a fleet of spacious vans rather than standard sedans. Key Features: Works With a Foreign Number and Card: Sign up and pay without a Korean phone plan or bank account, unlike most local competitors. Van-Based Fleet: Rides use larger vans (TADA Next, Plus, Premium and car-seat options) rather than standard taxis, useful for groups or extra luggage. In-App Ride Controls: Adjust the vehicle's volume, lighting and temperature from the app on some ride types. Booking and Charter Options: Beyond an immediate pickup, book airport transfers, hourly charters or custom reservations with an English-speaking driver on request. How to Get Started: Download the TADA app and register with your phone number (international numbers are accepted). Add a payment method, including foreign credit cards. Enter your destination and choose a TADA vehicle option. Confirm your ride and track your driver's arrival in the app. Important Notice: TADA covers a smaller fleet than Kakao T, Korea's dominant ride-hailing app, so wait times can be longer, especially outside Seoul or during peak hours — check the app for real-time availability in your area.
