Move It can be a lifesaver when traffic is heavy and you need to reach your destination quickly. However, before checking the fare or applying a promo code, there is one important question you need to answer:
Is Move It available in your area?
Move It does not currently operate nationwide. Its motorcycle taxi service is concentrated in Metro Manila, parts of the Greater Manila Area, Cebu, and Cagayan de Oro.
Even within those locations, coverage can vary. One barangay may have plenty of riders, while a nearby area may be outside the app’s booking boundary. Rider availability can also change depending on the time, weather, demand, and your exact pickup point.
This guide explains the current Move It service areas in the Philippines, including Metro Manila, Cavite, Rizal, Bulacan, Cebu, and Cagayan de Oro. It also shows you how to check whether a particular route is covered before you leave home.

Where is Move It available in 2026?
As of August 6, 2026, Move It’s publicly listed and promoted passenger areas include:
- Metro Manila
- Selected parts of Rizal
- Selected parts of Bulacan
- Selected parts of Cavite
- Cebu
- Cagayan de Oro
Move It’s official service-area page specifically names several cities and municipalities within Metro Manila and the surrounding Greater Manila Area. Meanwhile, official 2026 promotional posts continue to advertise rides in Cebu and Cagayan de Oro.
Here is a quick overview:
| General service area | Places specifically identified by Move It |
|---|---|
| Metro Manila | Manila, Quezon City, San Juan, Mandaluyong, Pasig, Makati, Pateros, Taguig, Pasay, Parañaque, Muntinlupa, Caloocan, Valenzuela, Malabon and Navotas |
| Rizal | Taytay, Cainta and Rodriguez or Montalban |
| Bulacan | San Jose del Monte and Meycauayan |
| Cavite | Selected areas; exact municipalities are not clearly identified on the public service-area page |
| Cebu | Selected routes and locations around Metro Cebu |
| Cagayan de Oro | Selected routes within Cagayan de Oro |
The most reliable coverage checker is still the Move It app. Public location lists may not show exact barangay boundaries, temporary restrictions, or newly added routes.
Is Move It available throughout Metro Manila?
Move It’s largest and most established service area is Metro Manila.
The company’s official service-area page currently lists the following locations:
- Manila
- South Quezon City
- The rest of Quezon City
- San Juan
- Mandaluyong
- Pasig
- Makati
- Pateros
- Taguig
- Pasay
- Parañaque
- Muntinlupa
- South Caloocan
- North Caloocan
- Valenzuela
- Malabon
- Navotas
These locations cover much of the National Capital Region, including major business districts, residential communities, shopping areas, schools, government centres, hospitals, and transport hubs.
However, you should not assume that every road inside Metro Manila is automatically accessible.
A route may still be unavailable because:
- The pickup pin is inside a restricted property.
- Motorcycles cannot legally stop at the selected location.
- The destination is beyond the current booking boundary.
- There are no nearby online riders.
- The road is closed or inaccessible.
- The app cannot create a valid motorcycle route.
Coverage and rider availability are two different things. Your city may be supported, but the app may still struggle to find a rider at a particular time.
Move It service areas in Manila
The City of Manila is included in Move It’s official coverage list.
Passengers may generally try booking in areas such as:
- Ermita
- Malate
- Binondo
- Divisoria
- Quiapo
- Sampaloc
- Tondo
- Santa Cruz
- Pandacan
- Paco
- San Miguel
Actual availability depends on the route displayed in the app.
Manila can be challenging for pickups because of one-way streets, crowded roads, loading restrictions, markets, and large transport terminals. Make sure your pickup pin is on an accessible street rather than inside a building or in the middle of a prohibited stopping area.
Is Move It available in Quezon City?
Yes. Move It’s official page separates Quezon City into South QC and the rest of QC, indicating broad service coverage across the city.
Popular booking areas may include locations around:
- Cubao
- Quezon Avenue
- Timog Avenue
- Tomas Morato
- Commonwealth
- Diliman
- UP Village
- Eastwood
- Katipunan
- Fairview
- Novaliches
- North EDSA
Quezon City is geographically large, so matching conditions can differ significantly. Finding a rider in Cubao or North EDSA may be easier than finding one in a quiet residential area near the city boundary.
Check the estimated arrival time rather than looking only at whether the app displays a fare.
Is Move It available in Makati?
Yes. Makati appears on Move It’s official service-area list.
Move It can be useful for trips around:
- Makati Central Business District
- Ayala Avenue
- Salcedo Village
- Legazpi Village
- Poblacion
- Guadalupe
- Chino Roces Avenue
- Circuit Makati
- Rockwell and nearby areas
Office workers often use motorcycle taxis for first- and last-mile connections to MRT stations, bus stops, offices, restaurants, and nearby residential communities.
During morning and evening rush hours, demand can be high. Place your pin at a legal and recognizable pickup area because riders may not be able to wait on major roads for long.
Is Move It available in Taguig?
Yes. Taguig is included in Move It’s published service area.
Passengers may find the app useful for destinations around:
- Bonifacio Global City
- Market! Market!
- Uptown Bonifacio
- McKinley Hill
- Pembo and nearby communities
- C5 Road
- Taguig residential areas
Move It has also identified Market! Market! as one of its booking-booth locations. Booking booths can provide a more recognizable motorcycle taxi pickup point in busy commercial areas.
When booking from BGC, use a designated pickup area when available. Placing your pin directly on a busy intersection or a restricted curb can lead to confusion or cancellation.
Is Move It available in Pasig?
Yes. Pasig is one of the locations named on Move It’s service-area page.
Common destinations may include:
- Ortigas Center
- Capitol Commons
- Pasig City Hall
- Kapitolyo
- Rosario
- Tiendesitas
- C5 and Ortigas Avenue areas
Parts of the Ortigas business district also border Mandaluyong and Quezon City. Check the exact map pin because a building’s mailing address may not always match the most practical motorcycle entrance.
Is Move It available in Mandaluyong?
Yes. Mandaluyong is part of Move It’s listed coverage.
Passengers can try booking around:
- Shaw Boulevard
- Boni Avenue
- Greenfield District
- Pioneer
- Ortigas Center
- SM Megamall
- MRT Shaw and Boni areas
SM Megamall has appeared on Move It’s list of selected booking-booth locations.
Mall entrances can be confusing, so specify the building, entrance, pickup bay, or nearby establishment where you are waiting.
Is Move It available in Pasay and Parañaque?
Yes. Both Pasay and Parañaque appear on Move It’s official service-area page.
These locations include many hotels, entertainment venues, offices, residential communities, transport stations, and areas near the airport.
However, airport and terminal pickups can have special access or stopping arrangements. Do not assume your rider can reach every terminal door.
Open the app, place the pin at an accessible location, and follow any pickup instructions displayed. When necessary, communicate with the rider through the app and agree on a safe meeting point within the supported booking route.
Is Move It available in Muntinlupa?
Yes. Muntinlupa is included in Move It’s published service area.
Passengers may try booking around:
- Alabang
- Filinvest City
- Festival Mall
- Alabang-Zapote Road
- Sucat
- Tunasan
- Cupang
- Putatan
Coverage near the borders of Muntinlupa, Laguna, and Cavite may be more route-dependent. A pickup point may be accepted while a destination farther outside the active boundary may not be.
Enter the complete journey in the app before assuming that the whole route is covered.
Is Move It available in Caloocan?
Yes. Move It separately lists South Caloocan and North Caloocan, suggesting service on both sides of the city.
Because the two sections of Caloocan are geographically separated, rider supply can be very different.
For North Caloocan trips, availability may also depend on rider activity near Quezon City and San Jose del Monte. For South Caloocan, the app may have more connections with Manila, Malabon, Navotas, and Valenzuela.
Is Move It available in Valenzuela, Malabon and Navotas?
Yes. Move It’s official service-area page lists:
- Valenzuela
- Malabon
- Navotas
These northern Metro Manila locations are part of the platform’s published coverage.
Availability may be stronger near major roads and commercial centres than on narrow interior streets.
When riders repeatedly cancel, consider moving your pickup pin to a wider, recognizable road that remains safe and convenient for you.
What about Marikina and Las Piñas?
Marikina and Las Piñas are not individually named on Move It’s current public service-area list, even though both are part of Metro Manila.
That does not necessarily prove that the app never accepts bookings there. The public page may not be a complete street-by-street representation of the live booking system.
Move It also maintains a rider training facility in Marikina, but a training location does not automatically establish the exact passenger-service boundary.
For Marikina or Las Piñas, open the Move It passenger app and enter the exact pickup point and destination. The live booking screen is more useful than making assumptions from a general location list.
Is Move It available in Rizal?
Yes, but Move It’s public service-area page specifically identifies only selected Rizal locations:
- Taytay
- Cainta
- Rodriguez, also known as Montalban
These areas are included in Move It’s published Greater Manila coverage.
Move It also maintains its listed head office along Cabrera Road in Barangay Dolores, Taytay, Rizal.
The platform has promoted rides involving Rizal in recent campaigns, which supports its continuing presence on selected Greater Manila routes.
Is Move It available in Antipolo?
Antipolo is not specifically named on the public Move It service-area page reviewed for this guide.
However, neighbouring Cainta, Taytay, and Rodriguez are listed. Some routes near Antipolo’s western boundary may appear in the app, while destinations farther into the city may not.
Do not assume that all of Antipolo is covered simply because nearby Rizal municipalities are supported.
Check the exact route by entering:
- Your real pickup point
- Your complete Antipolo destination
- The correct branch or landmark
- The map pin at the proper entrance
When the app produces a fare and allows you to proceed to rider matching, the route is generally being accepted at that moment.
Is Move It available in Bulacan?
Move It officially lists two Bulacan cities:
- San Jose del Monte
- Meycauayan
These areas form part of its published Greater Manila expansion.
This can be useful for commuters travelling between northern Metro Manila and nearby sections of Bulacan.
However, the public list does not claim province-wide coverage. It does not specifically identify locations such as Malolos, Bocaue, Marilao, Baliwag, Plaridel, or Santa Maria as regular service areas.
A ride beginning or ending near a supported boundary may still depend on the live route accepted by the app.
Is Move It available in Cavite?
Move It’s service-area page includes Cavite, but it does not provide a complete list of supported Cavite cities and municipalities.
Official promotional content has also advertised selected rides involving Cavite, confirming that the platform has offered Greater Manila routes extending into the province.
Possible service availability may be stronger in urbanized Cavite areas closer to Metro Manila, but passengers should not interpret the single word “Cavite” as a guarantee of province-wide coverage.
Cavite includes destinations far beyond Metro Manila’s southern boundary. A route to Bacoor or Imus is very different from a trip to Tagaytay, Maragondon, Ternate, or the province’s more distant municipalities.
How to check Move It coverage in Cavite
Follow these steps:
- Open the Move It app.
- Select Moto-Taxi.
- Enter your exact pickup point.
- Enter your exact Cavite destination.
- Check whether the route appears.
- Review whether a fare is displayed.
- Tap Book only when the details are correct.
- Wait to see whether a rider accepts.
Do not rely only on typing “Cavite.” Enter the exact subdivision, mall, barangay, street, or establishment.
For a route involving Metro Manila and Cavite, check both directions. A trip going into Cavite may be accepted, but finding a return rider later may still be difficult.
Is Move It available in Cebu?
Yes. Move It continued to advertise Cebu rides in official 2026 promotional content, and the company maintains Cebu-related rider programmes and listed booking booths.
Listed Cebu booking-booth locations have included:
- Ayala Center Cebu
- Central Bloc at Cebu IT Park
- SM City Cebu
- SM Seaside Cebu
- Baseline Center
- Robinsons Cybergate Fuente
- Primeway Plaza
- Pueblo Verde
Move It also lists a rider training facility along Governor M. Cuenco Avenue in Banilad, Cebu City.
These facilities support the platform’s presence in the Cebu market, although they do not mean that every municipality on Cebu Island is covered.
Cebu coverage may be route-specific
Move It’s operations are generally associated with the Metro Cebu urban area rather than guaranteed island-wide service.
Passengers may try checking routes in and around major activity centres such as:
- Cebu City
- Mandaue
- Lapu-Lapu
- Cebu IT Park
- Cebu Business Park
- Fuente Osmeña
- Banilad
- Mabolo
- Major shopping malls
These examples should not be treated as fixed boundaries. Always enter the actual route in the passenger app.
A rider who brings you to an outer area may also be farther from the platform’s active passenger demand. Consider whether you are likely to find a return ride before travelling to a remote destination.
Is Move It available in Cagayan de Oro?
Yes. Move It’s official social-media posts continued to promote rides and discounts in Cagayan de Oro during 2026. A July 2026 post also encouraged passengers around Gaston Park to book Move It rather than wait in line.
Move It lists:
- A rider training facility in Carmen, Cagayan de Oro
- A booking booth at Ayala Centrio
These listings further support its local operating presence.
As with every service area, actual matching depends on the pickup point, destination, time, and number of available riders.
A note about the Cebu and Cagayan de Oro regulatory issue
In April 2025, the LTFRB issued an order directing Move It to cease operations in Cebu and Cagayan de Oro and reduce its rider allocation. Move It appealed, and the transportation secretary said the order would not be implemented immediately while the motion for reconsideration was pending.
Official Move It promotions in 2026 subsequently continued to advertise passenger rides in Cebu and Cagayan de Oro. This indicates that the service was still being offered in those markets, although the underlying motorcycle taxi regulatory framework remained subject to government decisions.
For passengers, the practical test is whether the official Move It app currently accepts the route and matches it with an authorized rider.
Is Move It available in Davao?
Davao is not listed on Move It’s current public service-area page, and I could not verify an official 2026 announcement confirming regular Move It passenger operations there.
Do not rely on an unofficial Facebook page, rider advertisement, or similarly named transport business as proof of availability.
Open the official passenger app and check your exact route. When no Moto-Taxi fare or booking option appears, the service is probably not available there at that time.
Is Move It available in Laguna?
Laguna is not specifically included in Move It’s current published service-area list.
Muntinlupa and parts of Cavite are listed, so routes near the southern Greater Manila boundary may occasionally appear. However, this does not establish regular coverage throughout San Pedro, Biñan, Santa Rosa, Cabuyao, Calamba, or the rest of Laguna.
Check the actual pickup and destination rather than assuming that a nearby province is supported.
Is Move It available in Batangas?
Batangas is not listed as a regular Move It service area on the company’s current public location page.
A long-distance destination outside the standard boundary is also not the kind of trip for which you should depend on a motorcycle taxi without checking the app carefully.
Use an appropriate bus, van, car, or other transport option when travelling far outside Move It’s urban operating areas.
Is Move It available nationwide?
No. Move It is not currently a nationwide motorcycle taxi service.
Its publicly identified areas are concentrated in:
- Metro Manila
- Nearby parts of Cavite, Rizal, and Bulacan
- Cebu
- Cagayan de Oro
The official service-area page does not list most Philippine provinces and cities.
This may change in the future, especially if motorcycle taxi regulations, rider allocations, and local operations expand.
How to check whether Move It is available in your exact location
The easiest and most reliable method is to use the app.
Step 1: Open the official passenger app
Turn on mobile data and location services.
Step 2: Select Moto-Taxi
Make sure you are checking the passenger service rather than Express Saver or another feature.
Step 3: Enter the pickup point
Use the exact address or place the pin manually.
Step 4: Enter the destination
Choose the correct branch, street, barangay, or building entrance.
Step 5: Check whether a fare appears
When Move It calculates a route and displays a fare, the trip is generally within the app’s accepted booking area at that time.
Step 6: Try requesting a rider
A fare does not guarantee that a rider is immediately available. You still need to wait for someone to accept.
Step 7: Check the return journey
For trips near the service boundary, search for the return route before leaving. This gives you an idea of whether the destination is also an active pickup area.
Do not actually confirm a second booking. Simply enter the reverse route and check whether the app recognizes it.
Service coverage does not guarantee rider availability
This is one of the most important things to understand.
A city can be covered, but you may still see:
- No riders nearby
- A long estimated arrival
- Repeated rider cancellations
- Continuous searching
- An unavailable booking option
Rider availability can be affected by:
- Rush-hour demand
- Heavy rain
- Flooding
- Local events
- Road closures
- Holidays
- Late-night schedules
- Rider concentration
- Distance from commercial areas
- Safety or accessibility of the pickup point
Try adjusting your pickup point to a nearby main road or recognizable landmark when it is safe to do so.
Why can I book to a location but not get a ride back?
This can happen near the edge of the service area.
A Metro Manila rider may accept a trip going to an outer section of Rizal, Bulacan, or Cavite. However, once you arrive, there may be fewer riders waiting nearby.
Possible reasons include:
- Low passenger demand in the destination
- Few online riders
- The location being near the booking boundary
- Riders preferring areas with more return passengers
- Poor road access
- Distance from rider hotspots
Before taking a one-way trip to an outer area, prepare another transportation option for your return.
Why does the app say my destination is unavailable?
Common reasons include:
- The location is outside Move It’s current boundary.
- The map pin is placed incorrectly.
- The destination is on an inaccessible road.
- The app cannot create a valid motorcycle route.
- The service is temporarily unavailable.
- Your GPS or internet connection is unstable.
- The app needs updating.
Try searching for a nearby landmark rather than the full written address.
You can also move the destination pin to a main entrance or accessible road. Do not deliberately use a false destination and privately ask the rider to travel far beyond it. The correct journey should remain recorded in the app.
Can Move It cross city or provincial boundaries?
Move It bookings are not necessarily limited to one city.
A trip may cross between:
- Manila and Quezon City
- Makati and Taguig
- Mandaluyong and Pasig
- Quezon City and San Jose del Monte
- Metro Manila and selected parts of Rizal
- Metro Manila and selected parts of Cavite
The determining factor is whether the app accepts the complete route.
Do not assume that crossing one provincial boundary means the entire province is covered.
What are Move It booking booths?
Move It has listed booking booths at selected malls and busy locations in Metro Manila, Cebu, and Cagayan de Oro. These locations may provide a recognizable pickup area and booking assistance.
Published Metro Manila booth locations have included:
- Market! Market!
- TriNoma
- UP Town Center
- SM Megamall
- SM North EDSA
- SM Manila
- Eastwood City
- Ayala Malls The 30th
- Ayala Malls Cloverleaf
- Greenhills V-Mall
- Fisher Mall Quezon City
- Robinsons Manila
- Robinsons Cainta
- Robinsons Metro East
Booth availability, staffing, and promotional benefits can change. Look for current signage and confirm the pickup point through the app.
What are Move It hail rides?
Move It’s service-area page mentions that riders may log hail rides outside the normal service area.
A hail ride generally refers to a passenger approaching an eligible rider directly rather than receiving the match through the usual passenger-app request.
This statement should not be interpreted to mean that the regular app works everywhere in the Philippines.
When using any supported hail-booking system:
- Confirm that the rider is legitimately registered.
- Make sure the trip is properly logged.
- Check the fare before leaving.
- Wear the required helmet.
- Avoid an unrecorded private arrangement.
Move It provides a separate information page and support process for hail bookings.
Tips for booking near the edge of a service area
Enter the complete route before travelling
Do not check only the pickup point. Make sure the destination is also accepted.
Check the reverse route
This can help you estimate whether the destination is also an active pickup area.
Book during active hours
Rider availability is generally more practical when people are commuting and establishments are open.
Use a main road or landmark
Remote interior roads may have fewer riders and more difficult navigation.
Keep another transport option ready
Do not depend entirely on Move It when travelling to a distant or unfamiliar area.
Avoid changing the destination privately
Keep the real route inside the app.
Communicate clearly
Tell the rider about gates, entrances, subdivisions, and landmarks before they reach the pickup point.
Allow extra time
Finding a rider near a service boundary may take longer than booking in a central business district.

Where is Move It available in the Philippines?
Move It’s publicly identified service areas include Metro Manila, selected locations in Cavite, Rizal and Bulacan, Cebu, and Cagayan de Oro.
Is Move It available in all Metro Manila cities?
The public page lists most major Metro Manila locations but does not individually name every NCR city. Check your exact route in the app.
Is Move It available in Cavite?
Yes, Move It identifies Cavite as part of its service area and has promoted selected Cavite routes. However, it does not publicly provide a complete municipality-by-municipality coverage map.
Is Move It available in Rizal?
Yes. The officially listed Rizal areas are Taytay, Cainta and Rodriguez or Montalban.
Is Move It available in Bulacan?
Move It specifically lists San Jose del Monte and Meycauayan. Province-wide Bulacan coverage is not stated.
Is Move It available in Cebu?
Yes. Move It continued to promote Cebu rides during 2026 and lists several Cebu booking booths and a rider facility.
Is Move It available in Cagayan de Oro?
Yes. Official 2026 posts promoted Move It rides in Cagayan de Oro, including trips around Gaston Park and local commercial areas.
Is Move It available in Davao?
Davao is not included in the current public service-area list reviewed for this article. Check the app for any future expansion.
Is Move It available in Laguna?
Laguna is not specifically listed as a current regular service area. Enter the exact route in the app, particularly when travelling near Muntinlupa or Cavite.
Can I book Move It from Metro Manila to Cavite?
Selected routes may be accepted. Enter the complete pickup and destination in the app to check availability and fare.
Does seeing a fare guarantee a rider?
No. It means the app recognizes the route, but an online rider must still accept your request.
Why are there no riders even though my city is covered?
Demand, weather, time, road access and the number of online riders can all affect matching.
Can I ask the rider to go outside the service area?
Do not enter a false destination and negotiate the rest of the trip privately. The complete journey should be accepted and recorded through the app.
How will I know when Move It expands?
Check Move It’s official website, passenger app, notifications and verified social-media accounts. New-user promotions and rider onboarding activities may also indicate expansion, but the actual passenger booking screen remains the most reliable test.
Final thoughts
Move It has a wide presence in Metro Manila and has extended selected services into nearby parts of Cavite, Rizal, and Bulacan. It also continues to serve passengers in Cebu and Cagayan de Oro.
However, the words “service area” should not be treated as a promise that every street, barangay, or municipality is covered.
The most dependable way to check is simple:
Open the app, enter your exact pickup point and destination, review the route and fare, and wait for a registered rider to accept.
When travelling near the edge of Move It’s coverage, check the return route as well and keep another transportation option available.
That extra minute of planning can save you from reaching your destination and discovering that there are no Move It riders available for the trip home.
