Short answer
Most South African e-hailing drivers run both apps to cut waiting time between trips. Commission rates and promotions change often, so compare what each app pays in your city each week. The same car usually qualifies for both.

Run both apps
Switch on both apps while you wait, and accept the best trip. Check each app’s current commission and fees in its driver app, as they change.

Honest maths
See what you keep, before you sign.
Assumes petrol at R22.50/l, ~22 km per driving hour (car 5.2 l/100 km) and ~5 km per delivery (bike 2.4 l/100 km), plus data and car wash. “Typical rent-to-own” = R4,000/week, the 2026 average reported by FleetCalc. Change the sliders to your real numbers.

We read every complaint about rent-to-own in South Africa: surprise fees, balloon payments, cars stuck at the workshop while the debit order keeps running. Then we wrote the opposite into our deal.
Every rand, upfront
Weekly amount, deposit, term, the price to buy it at the end, and where every rand goes: the vehicle, insurance, service, licence and our margin. Your price card is locked in writing for 7 days.
No balloon: a small, fixed buy price
At the end you can buy the vehicle for a fixed price written into your agreement on day one: R5,000 for a car, R500 for a bike. No R40,000 surprise.
Buy it early if you want
Had a good season? Ask for an early buy-out quote and own it before the term ends. Most rent-to-own deals make you sit out the full contract.
Unlimited km for drivers & riders
Drivers do 1,200 km a week. We don’t cap the kilometres you earn with.
Off the road? Your week is on us
If a repair takes more than 24 hours, you get a loan vehicle or that week is free. Never pay for a car or bike you can’t earn with.
Bad-week pause
Can’t pay one week? WhatsApp us that day. Once a year you can move one payment to the end of your term, no penalty, no fight.
Road-legal from day one
PrDP and operating-licence help for e-hailing, the right insurance cover, and the papers in your hands for every roadblock.
