Commission and Fare Demands

Drivers demand higher trip fares and commission reductions to 10% to offset fuel price increases. They argue that it is unfair for companies to keep commissions unchanged.

We are the owners of the business. We provide the service, but the commissions leave us with almost nothing.Comrade Iwindoye

Company Responses

inDrive emphasizes that it does not use a driver score feature but a tier system for high-performing drivers. The commission is set at 9.99%, meeting driver demands.

Drivers call for companies to revise their policies for a fair and sustainable partnership amidst the rising fuel prices.
