“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," the company said.
With this feature, inDriver says riders could save between 20% and 30% of what they would normally pay for other e-hailing cab services.
Unlike other systems, however, inDriver said it worked on a cash-only basis.
The service, which is also on offer in Cape Town, states: “A safety button for both driver and rider, linked to emergency numbers, has been incorporated into the app. In addition, both parties can share their GPS location and other details of rides in real time with trusted contacts.”
The app can be downloaded from mobile app stores.
