What is confirmed for Pietermaritzburg

Three companies name Pietermaritzburg 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 Pietermaritzburg among the five cities on its driver page, even though it names Durban an hour away. For passenger work, Bolt is the route to use.

Takealot, Pingo, Picup, Checkers Sixty60 and inDrive name no cities.

Where to start in Pietermaritzburg

Delivery is the quicker start, with two companies naming the city and neither asking for a professional driving permit.

For passenger work, Bolt names this city and Uber does not. Start the PrDP early: it is the step that decides when you can begin, and the government says up to 12 weeks.

Before paying for an inspection or a permit, confirm with the company that it is activating new drivers here. A city list says a company operates somewhere, not that it needs people this month.
