Get the app How fares work

No mystery surge.

Before you book, the app shows what each part of the fare costs and why. When it is busy, the extra has a name, a ceiling, and it all goes to the driver.

  1. Base fare$0.50
  2. Distance, 8.4 km$3.78
  3. Time, 21 min$1.05
  4. Busy area, 1.3xMore riders than drivers here right now. Every cent goes to the driver. $1.60
  5. You pay$6.93

Pay the way you already pay.

Cash is a normal trip, not a problem to work around. Mobile money and cards work too, in US dollars or ZiG.

Built for a bad day.

For drivers

Keep the whole fare.

Drivers buy a flat pass by the day, week or month. We take no share of any trip, cash or card.

  • Cash trips are simple: you are handed the fare and keep it. Nothing owed, nothing to settle.
  • Card and mobile money fares land in your wallet. Cash out to EcoCash when you like.
  • Busy-area extras go to you, every cent.
  • Pay for your pass from your wallet. Load it with EcoCash or OneMoney when it suits you.
  • Invite people, drive free. 7 free days for each driver you bring and 1 for each rider, once they finish a first trip.

Apply in the app with your licence and vehicle papers. Our team checks them before your first trip.
