Is it still free?

No. Zoox offered free rides in Las Vegas from 2025 and started charging on August 10, 2026, after receiving a federal exemption to run its purpose-built robotaxi commercially. Fares are a base price plus distance and time, with destination fees possible for trips to or from Harry Reid and high-traffic spots like the Sphere, plus taxes (Las Vegas Sun). Zoox told Reuters it priced rides to be similar to ride-hail "comfort" tiers (Reuters). It publishes no rate card. Checked Nov 11, 2026

Where it goes

Zoox's first public rides went to a short list of partner spots on and near the Strip, including AREA15, Topgolf and Resorts World. By August 2026 it had doubled its pickup and drop-off points to reach the Las Vegas Convention Center and most major hotels along the Strip, and the Sphere and T-Mobile Arena have designated Zoox zones (Las Vegas Sun). Since early September 2026 it also serves Harry Reid International, Terminals 1 and 3 (Las Vegas Sun); see the airport guide. The app shows the current list of pickup points.

How to ride

  1. Download the Zoox app and request a ride; the app tells you where to walk for pickup.
  2. If several Zoox cars are waiting, tap Chime in the app: yours lights up and plays a sound. The app also shows its license plate.
  3. Get in and close the doors from the touchscreen. Everyone has to buckle up; the robotaxi won't move until all riders are wearing seatbelts.
  4. Press Start ride on the touchscreen.
  5. For help, press the Help button in the app or at your seat, or the overhead Emergency Call Button. Call 911 for a medical or life-threatening emergency.

Those steps are from Zoox's rider FAQ (Zoox). If the app isn't available for your phone, Zoox says to visit its spot at the Resorts World Las Vegas casino entrance.
