Applying with a foreign passport or permit
Companies say very different things. Uber Eats lists every document it accepts, including an asylum seeker permit. Bolt lists none. Knowing which is which saves you a wasted trip.
Get your papers together first
Most applications stall on paperwork, not on driving. Pick a company and tick off exactly what it asks for.

Worth reading before you apply
How to get a PrDP
The permit for driving passengers for money. Uber and Bolt both need it, and it is the slowest step. Government says up to 12 weeks.
What drivers actually earn
Almost nobody gives a figure. One company does, with its method. Here is what it means, and the costs that come off it.
Driving on a foreign licence
One company accepts an international permit outright. Passenger work runs through a South African licence card, and that is where it gets hard.
Renting a bike or car to drive
Three companies offer a way in without owning a vehicle. None gives a price. The questions to get answered in writing first.
Operating licences
E-hailing vehicles need one, plus branding and a panic button. What the Department of Transport has said, and what it has not.
Work in your city
Four companies say where they work. Ten cities have enough detail to be worth a page of their own.
