Bargaining ride hailing app launches in Johannesburg busrep

Following on from a successful Cape Town launch, the app makes its debut in Johannesburg with a new built-in safety feature for both drivers and riders.

The ride-hailing company not only lets riders decide how much they want to spend on their trip, but also lets drivers barter with potential riders for more money. Passengers enter the amount they are willing to pay for a trip and drivers then bid on the offer. The bargaining function on the app, makes the ride-hailing service well suited to longer commutes – from neighbouring suburbs into hubs like Sandton and the CBD.

"A unique feature to inDriver is that drivers are not automatically assigned to riders. Passengers receive multiple offers from drivers in the area and are given the opportunity to select one based on fare amounts, driver ratings, estimated time of arrival and vehicle model. The trip is confirmed once both parties agree to the fare," said Carr.

1. Information is power – do your homework. The more you know, the better your position. Familiarise yourself with what you’d usually pay for routes that you are familiar with - and then offer a lower rate. The driver can always push up their price to reach a happy middle ground.
