What each vehicle gets you in Johannesburg

Only companies that name their cities appear here. Others may still operate here.

What is confirmed for Johannesburg

Four companies name Johannesburg in their own driver material: Mr D on its driver page, Uber on its driver page, Uber Eats in its courier city selector, and Bolt on the cities list its driver FAQ points at.

One thing to watch. Uber Eats lists Johannesburg and Pretoria as a single entry, so check the city shown in your account before you book an inspection.

Takealot, Pingo, Picup, Checkers Sixty60 and inDrive name no cities, so we cannot confirm their coverage either way. Pingo recruits nationally, and Sixty60 operates here.

Where to start in Johannesburg

Delivery work starts faster. None of the delivery companies here lists a professional driving permit, so the slowest step does not apply.

For passenger work with Uber, Bolt or inDrive, start the PrDP application first and book the vehicle inspection while you wait. Under the amended transport law the vehicle also needs an operating licence, and the regulations call for e-hailing branding and a panic button.

Takealot's onboarding form asked us to choose a work region, and the regions it offered were in the northern suburbs. We are not treating that as a coverage list, because the same three names also appeared in an unrelated part of the form.
