What each vehicle gets you in East London
Only companies that name their cities appear here. Others may still operate here.
What is confirmed for East London
Three companies name East London in their own driver material: Mr D among the areas it serves, Uber Eats in its courier city selector, and Bolt on the cities list its driver FAQ points at.
Uber does not name East London on its driver page. Its page lists five cities and this is not one of them. That does not prove Uber is absent, but it does mean that of the two ride-hailing companies that list requirements, only Bolt names this city.
Takealot, Pingo, Picup, Checkers Sixty60 and inDrive name no cities at all.
Where to start in East London
Delivery is the stronger option here. Two delivery companies name the city, and neither mentions a professional driving permit, so you can start without the twelve-week wait.
For passenger work, use Bolt. You need a PrDP, a criminal record check, a cARscan inspection and an operating licence. Ask Bolt whether it is taking new drivers here before you spend money on any of it. A city list means Bolt works here, not that it is signing people up this month.
