How we check Careem
No evidence of problems with Careem. Our last recorded check found it behaving normally. That does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.
Every check runs a four-tier cascade and stops at the first tier that gives a clear answer: Careem's official status feed, then a direct HTTP probe, then an ICMP network ping, and finally reports from visitors. The Verification tier box above tells you which one produced the verdict you are looking at. When enough separate people report a problem for it to be well outside what Careem normally sees, that counts as evidence too, which is how a partial fault can show here before an operator's own status page catches up.
Careem (careem.com) is re-checked continuously, and this page picks up any change on its own, with no refresh needed.
Common Careem problems users report
- App won't open or crashes immediately after launch
- Can't request a ride, button does nothing or shows error
- Driver location not updating or map frozen during trip
- Login fails with network or authentication error
What to do when Careem is not working
First check the banner above. If it shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on Careem's side and waiting is usually the only option. If it shows nothing wrong, try force-closing and reopening the app, switch between mobile data and WiFi to rule out your connection, check that your payment method is valid and not expired, and verify your phone number is confirmed in account settings.

Frequently asked questions
Is Careem down right now?
No. Our checks are finding no problems with Careem right now. That verdict is live, and the banner at the top of this page carries it too. We re-check Careem continuously using its official status feed, direct network probes and reports from visitors, stopping at the first check that gives a clear answer, and the page updates itself as soon as anything changes. A green verdict does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.
What usually goes wrong with Careem?
The problems visitors report most often on this page are can't connect, website / app down, can't log in, lag or disconnects, orders or tracking, can't join a game, no notifications and API errors. Those are the options the report button offers for Careem, chosen for how this service actually fails rather than a generic list, and the "user reports" chart above breaks down which ones people are picking right now.
Why is Careem not connecting for me when this page says it is fine?
Our checks run from one place on the internet, so a fault limited to your region or network can be real while our probes succeed. With Careem specifically, the ride request backend, driver matching system, real-time location service, and payment processing can fail independently, and regional infrastructure outages may affect only certain cities or driver zones. That is why this page reports what it observed rather than declaring the service healthy, and why reports from other visitors count toward the verdict.
How do I tell whether it is Careem or my own connection?
For Careem, try requesting a ride from a different city or account, and check if the driver app is accepting rides, since the passenger and driver systems operate separately. A problem that follows you across networks and devices is very unlikely to be yours.
What should I do while Careem is down?
If this page shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on Careem's side. Specifically: do not repeatedly tap the request button, as this queues duplicate requests that may charge you multiple times when service returns, and do not cancel and rebook constantly as this can lock your account temporarily. Reporting it here helps other people see they are not alone.
How does status.buzz check Careem?
Continuously, around the clock. Careem does not publish a machine-readable status feed, so we cannot read a verdict from them. We probe careem.com directly over HTTP, fall back to an ICMP ping if that is inconclusive, and weigh reports from visitors. That means we can tell you the service is unreachable, but not what Careem says about it. The verification tier box on this page names whichever check produced the verdict you are reading, so you can see how direct the evidence is.
Is status.buzz affiliated with Careem?
No. status.buzz is an independent monitoring site operated by LuzLab LLC, with no connection to Careem or careem.com. It reads publicly available endpoints and status feeds, and publishes what it observed. For account or billing problems you need Careem's own support, not us.
