The Short Answer
Uber Eats operates in the most countries
Uber Eats is available in over 45 countries and 6,000+ cities across 6 continents, making it the food delivery app with the widest geographic reach in the world. No other delivery platform comes close to this level of global coverage. For travelers, this means your Uber Eats account, saved payment methods, and preferences work almost everywhere you go.
But "most countries" does not always mean "best app." Uber Eats may have the widest reach, yet in most individual countries a local or regional competitor is more popular, has more restaurant partners, and delivers faster. The key to ordering food abroad is knowing both the global apps and the local favorites.

App-by-App Breakdown: Where Each Delivery Platform Operates
Uber Eats — 45+ Countries (Most in the World)
Uber Eats is the food delivery app that operates in the most countries. As an extension of the Uber ride-hailing platform, it launched food delivery in 2014 and rapidly expanded to become the most geographically distributed delivery service in the world.
Where it operates: United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Romania, Czech Republic, Sweden, Ireland, Switzerland, Austria, Japan, India, Taiwan, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, Australia, New Zealand — and more.
Why it matters for travelers: Your Uber Eats account is truly global. Sign up once, save your credit card once, and order food in any of 45+ countries without creating new accounts or re-entering payment details. It scores 92/100 on our Payability Score — the highest of any delivery app — because it consistently accepts foreign credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay worldwide.
Where it has exited: Uber Eats has pulled out of several markets over the years, including China (2016), South Korea (2019), Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and several smaller markets where it could not compete with entrenched local players.
Glovo — 25+ Countries
Barcelona-based Glovo is the second-most geographically spread delivery app, operating across Southern and Eastern Europe, North Africa, Central Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa. Unlike Uber Eats, Glovo is also a "quick commerce" platform — you can order groceries, pharmacy items, and packages, not just restaurant food.
Key markets: Spain, Italy, Portugal, Poland, Romania, Ukraine, Georgia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Morocco, Tunisia, Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Kazakhstan, and more.
Tourist-friendliness: Glovo accepts international Visa and Mastercard, offers Apple Pay in most markets, and has English language support. Its Payability Score is 82/100. It is an excellent option for travelers in Southern Europe, the Balkans, and North Africa where Uber Eats is less dominant.
Wolt — 25+ Countries
Originally from Finland and now owned by DoorDash, Wolt has expanded aggressively across Northern Europe, Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and Japan. It is known for high-quality restaurant curation and a polished app experience.
Key markets: Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Germany, Greece, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Israel, Japan, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Serbia, Cyprus, and more.
Tourist-friendliness: Wolt scores 86/100 on our Payability Score. It accepts all major international credit cards, supports Apple Pay and Google Pay, and provides excellent English-language interfaces even in non-English markets. One account works across all Wolt countries.

Key markets: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic, Romania, Hungary, Croatia, Portugal, South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania.
Tourist-friendliness: Scores 80/100 on Payability. International cards work in most markets, and the app provides good English support. If you already use Bolt for rides, the same account covers food delivery.
Deliveroo — 10+ Countries
London-based Deliveroo operates in fewer countries than Uber Eats or Glovo but has deep market penetration in its core markets, particularly the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, UAE, Singapore, Hong Kong, Kuwait, and Qatar.
Tourist-friendliness: Deliveroo scores an excellent 88/100 on Payability. It accepts all major international credit cards and mobile wallets. Its interface is fully English in all markets. One account works across all Deliveroo countries.
Regional Leaders (Fewer Countries, Huge Market Share)
Some of the world's largest delivery platforms by order volume only operate in a single region or even a single country:
- DoorDash — 4 countries (USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand) but #1 in the US by far
- Meituan — 1 country (China only) but processes more daily orders than any other app globally
- Grab — 8 countries across Southeast Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, Myanmar, Cambodia)
- Rappi — 9 Latin American countries (Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Uruguay)
- iFood — 1 country (Brazil only) but dominates with 80%+ market share there

Which App to Use by Region
Knowing which app operates in the most countries is useful, but what really matters is which app to open when you land. Here is a quick-reference by region.
Europe
Europe has the most competitive delivery app landscape. Uber Eats, Glovo, Wolt, Deliveroo, Bolt Food, and Just Eat Takeaway all operate across multiple European countries. Your best bet as a tourist: download Uber Eats and Glovo or Wolt depending on the specific country.
- Western Europe (UK, France, Spain, Italy): Uber Eats + Deliveroo or Glovo
- Northern Europe (Nordics, Baltics): Wolt + Bolt Food
- Eastern/Central Europe (Poland, Czech Republic, Romania): Glovo + Wolt + Bolt Food
- Balkans (Croatia, Serbia, Greece): Wolt + Glovo
Southeast Asia
Grab dominates the region across 8 countries. It is the #1 app in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, and Vietnam for both rides and food. Uber Eats exited Southeast Asia in 2018, selling to Grab. Foodpanda is the main alternative in several markets.
Latin America
Rappi operates in 9 Latin American countries and is the most "international" option in the region. Uber Eats also has significant presence in Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and Chile. iFood dominates Brazil specifically. For tourists, Uber Eats is usually the most accessible.
Middle East
Talabat (owned by Delivery Hero) covers 8 countries across the Middle East and North Africa. Deliveroo is strong in the UAE, Kuwait, and Qatar. Uber Eats has limited presence. For the UAE and Qatar, Deliveroo or Talabat are your best tourist options.
Africa
Uber Eats operates in South Africa, Kenya, and Nigeria. Glovo has expanded to multiple African countries including Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Morocco, and Tunisia. Bolt Food also covers several African markets. Coverage is mostly limited to major cities.
East Asia
East Asia is dominated by single-country giants. Meituan and Ele.me in China. Coupang Eats and Baemin in South Korea. Uber Eats and Wolt in Japan. Uber Eats and Foodpanda in Taiwan. Most of these local apps are very difficult for tourists to use. See our Payability Score guide for details.
Oceania
Uber Eats and DoorDash both operate in Australia and New Zealand. Menulog (owned by Just Eat Takeaway) is also popular in Australia. All three accept international credit cards and are easy for tourists.
The Smart Traveler Strategy: Which Apps to Download Before Any Trip
Based on our analysis of food delivery app availability across 195 countries, here is the most efficient strategy for travelers:
The 3-App Rule
For most trips, you only need three delivery apps on your phone:
- Uber Eats — Your global safety net. It works in 45+ countries and always accepts your foreign card. Download it once, set up payment once, and it is ready in almost any country.
- The regional leader — Grab for Southeast Asia, Rappi for Latin America, Glovo for Southern/Eastern Europe, Talabat for the Middle East. These apps have better local restaurant coverage than Uber Eats in their regions.
- The local #1 — Check our country guide for your specific destination. The local favorite often has the best prices, fastest delivery, and widest restaurant selection.
Download Before You Land
Some apps require SMS verification during signup. This can be difficult with a foreign SIM or on airport Wi-Fi. Sign up for Uber Eats and any regional apps at home with your regular phone number before your trip. Add your credit card and verify everything works. Then you are ready to order the moment you arrive.

Yes, with most international apps. Uber Eats, Glovo, Deliveroo, Wolt, and Bolt Food all allow you to use a single account across every country they operate in.

Uber Eats is the single best food delivery app for international travelers. It operates in 45+ countries, your account works everywhere, it accepts foreign credit cards with a 92/100 Payability Score, and it offers English interfaces globally. However, you should always pair it with the top local app in your destination — Grab in Southeast Asia, Rappi in Latin America, Glovo in Southern Europe — for better restaurant selection and faster delivery.
By international country coverage: 1) Uber Eats (45+ countries), 2) Glovo (25+ countries), 3) Wolt (25+ countries), 4) Bolt Food (15+ countries), 5) Deliveroo (10+ countries). By total order volume globally: 1) Meituan (China), 2) DoorDash (USA), 3) Uber Eats (global), 4) Grab (Southeast Asia), 5) Deliveroo (Europe). For travelers, the coverage-based ranking is more useful.
As of 2026, Uber Eats operates in over 45 countries and 6,000+ cities worldwide. This spans North America (USA, Canada, Mexico), South America (Brazil, Colombia, Chile, others), Europe (UK, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, and many more), Asia (Japan, India, Taiwan, Sri Lanka), Africa (South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria), and Oceania (Australia, New Zealand). Uber Eats has exited some markets over the years, including China, South Korea, and Egypt.
Food delivery is a hyper-local business. Success depends on restaurant partnerships, delivery driver networks, and pricing — all of which favor local companies that understand the market deeply. In Thailand, Grab and LINE MAN have more restaurant partners. In South Korea, Baemin and Coupang Eats are culturally embedded. In Brazil, iFood has 80%+ market share. Uber Eats excels at being "good enough everywhere" rather than "the best somewhere specific."
