Cabana is building its own Nairobi fleet, and we are onboarding the first drivers this month. No joining fee, no daily target, no pressure to stay online. Work the hours that suit you and get paid to M-Pesa every Monday.
We check every driver properly, because a rider who trusts the fleet books again. Nothing here is unusual. If you already drive commercially in Nairobi you almost certainly have it.
Every driver starts on Economy. Once your documents and vehicle are verified we clear you for the classes your car qualifies for, and higher classes pay considerably more per kilometre. You cannot promote your own car. An inspection decides it.
Four stages, usually done inside a week. We tell you where you stand at every one of them rather than leaving you guessing.
About five minutes. Your details, your vehicle, and the M-Pesa number you want to be paid on. You do not need to upload anything yet.
We reply on the number you gave us with a checklist. Photograph each document and send them in one message. We record the expiry date on every one so we can warn you before anything lapses.
You bring the car to us in Nairobi for a short physical inspection, and we run the induction in the same visit. This is where your class is decided. Budget about ninety minutes in total.
Your account is approved and the driver console opens. Tap online, share your location, and trips start coming to your phone. Your first payout lands the following Monday.
Five minutes, no documents needed yet, no fee at any stage.
The name on your licence, and a number we can reach you on today.
A PSV badge is required before your first trip. If you do not have one yet you can still apply, and we will tell you how to get it.
This is a request, not a decision. The inspection sets your final class, and you may be cleared for more than one.
Payouts run every Monday morning for the week that just ended. There is no minimum balance and no withdrawal charge from our side.
We have your details. The next step is your documents, and the fastest way to send them is WhatsApp.
Ten percent of the fare. Nothing else. There is no joining fee, no weekly subscription, no charge for the app, and no deduction for support or dispatch. On a KSh 1,000 trip you receive KSh 900. The rider sees that split on their own fare breakdown before they book, which is deliberate: it keeps us honest with both of you.
Every Monday morning, covering the week from Monday to Sunday just ended. Payment goes to the M-Pesa number on your account. There is no minimum balance to reach and no withdrawal fee from us. Cash fares stay with you and are reconciled against your account on the same weekly cycle.
No. There is no daily target, no minimum shift and no penalty for being offline. What does matter is what you do when you are online: if you take a trip, take it properly, and if you cannot, decline it quickly so the rider goes to somebody who can.
Yes, with a signed authority from the registered owner and a copy of their ID alongside the logbook. The insurance must cover you by name as a driver. If you drive for a fleet owner, the owner can register the vehicles and add you as a driver on them.
Fixed-price airport transfers and full-day chauffeur bookings pay considerably more than a metered city trip, and they are assigned rather than broadcast. Drivers become eligible after fifty completed trips with a rating of 4.8 or better, a Comfort-class vehicle or above, and the extended induction covering arrivals protocol and luggage handling.
We record the expiry date on every document when you join and warn you three weeks, one week and one day before. On the expiry date the account pauses automatically and you stop receiving trips. Send the renewed document and you are back online the same day. Nothing is deleted and you do not reapply.
No. Your phone reports position only while you are online in the driver console. Go offline and the reporting stops. While you are online, riders never see your position until you have accepted their trip, and after that they see only your car on the way to them.
