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.
You do not choose a class. Tell us your car and we place it from its size, fuel use and age, and higher classes pay considerably more per kilometre. If your car is not in our list, you describe it and we place it from its engine and fuel.
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 car and its number plate, the M-Pesa number you want to be paid on, and a photo of your driving licence.
You check your ID with a selfie in about two minutes, and the driver team reviews your licence inside Cabana. We reply with a yes, or exactly what is missing, and warn you before your licence expires.
A short induction in Nairobi covering how trips work and how to look after riders. The driver team may take a quick look at your car at the same visit. Budget about an hour.
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.
About five minutes. Your details, your car and plate, your M-Pesa number, and a photo of your driving licence in the same sitting. No fee at any stage.
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. List the car and its number plate as normal. 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.
