inDrive Offers 1% Commission for Drivers in South Africa
inDrive has announced a temporary reduction of its commission to 1% for drivers in Johannesburg and Pretoria, effective from October 1 to December 31, 2026. This initiative is designed to provide relief from increasing petrol prices, allowing drivers to keep 99% of their fare before deducting operating expenses.
Ashif Black, inDrive’s country representative, stated that the company is addressing the financial pressures faced by drivers due to rising fuel costs. The initiative does not apply to any Nigerian cities, and while it allows drivers to retain more from completed trips, it does not equate to a 99% profit due to ongoing expenses such as petrol and maintenance.
Additionally, inDrive has launched a separate reward campaign for drivers in Lagos and Abuja, running from October 5 to December 16, 2026, with prizes totaling over ₦132 million. This campaign is distinct from the commission reduction and focuses on rewarding driver participation and performance.
