Set up your commute
Pick a time and the days, say Mon–Fri at 7:15, for up to three months. Recurring trips carry a discount, and you see the total before you confirm.
Ride electric. Pay what’s fair.
Book an EV keke or EV car in the app, or scan a Route driver’s QR code on the street. Every driver is NIN and face verified, and your phone number is never shared.
Keep 100% of every fare.
Pay a flat daily, weekly or monthly plan instead of commission. Drive your own EV or petrol car, or rent a Route EV. After a month of steady renting, you can apply to own it.

Message
Built for the trips you take every week.
Fund your wallet once by bank transfer, then book, schedule or send a ride without handing out a phone number.
Book for someone else
Send a ride to a parent or a guest. They get the driver details, trip PIN and a live tracking link on WhatsApp, with no app needed.
Your own account number
Your wallet gets a dedicated bank account number. Transfer from any bank app and the full amount lands; Route covers the transfer fee.
Messages without numbers
Message your driver through Route’s WhatsApp line, or call through the app. Neither of you ever sees the other’s number.
SOS and live sharing
One tap alerts Route’s safety desk with your location and trip. Share a live trip link with anyone, or have it shared automatically at night.
One price rule, day or night
No surge and no pickup fee. Price moves only with distance and time, plus a fixed 5% between 10pm and 5am.
The fleet
Electric where it can be. Petrol where it has to be.
The electric tricycle for short hops across the neighbourhood. Quiet, open-sided and quick to find on busy streets.
A full-size electric car for commutes, airport runs and nights out. Drivers declare their range each shift, so you never get a trip the battery can’t finish.
Already own a petrol or diesel car? Bring it. It passes the same document checks, earns the same 100% of fares and keeps Route covered across the city while the EV fleet grows.
For drivers
No commission. A flat plan, and every naira of the fare.
Trip requests go to the three closest drivers at once, so you spend less time waiting and more time driving.
Drive what you already have
EV or petrol and diesel. Upload your papers, buy a plan and go online. The whole fare goes to your wallet, and you withdraw to your bank whenever you like.
Rent a Route EV
No car? Pay a deposit and collect an EV keke or car. Route handles the papers and the hackney permit. Route takes 80% of each fare until the day’s rent is covered (₦55,000 car, ₦25,000 keke, plan and charging included). After that, every fare is yours.
Rent for a month, then own it
Show a steady month on a Route rental and you can apply. You pay your plan plus a fixed daily car payment, keep 100% of fares, and the car is yours at payoff.

Questions
Straight answers.
No. Route leads with electric keke and cars, but petrol and diesel cars are welcome. They go through the same checks, earn the same 100% of fares and pay their own plan price.
Start by renting a Route EV. After about a month, if your record is steady, you can apply. Once approved, you sign the agreement, pay the deposit and keep driving. You pay your weekly plan plus a fixed daily car payment, keep 100% of your fares, and the car is yours when the payoff price is reached. The Drive-to-Own page has the full steps and the application.
Pay a refundable deposit of one week’s rent (₦385,000 for a car, ₦175,000 for a keke), provide one guarantor, and collect your EV; Route supplies the papers and hackney permit. Route takes 80% of each fare until the day’s rent is covered: ₦55,000 for an EV car, ₦25,000 for an EV keke. Every fare after that is 100% yours. The daily rent already includes your driver plan and charging at Route or designated stations, under our fair-use policy. Each rental has a daily trip target shown in the app. Two days in a row with no trips, or charging away from a Route or designated station, counts as default.
From the Route wallet. Each rider gets a personal bank account number, so you top up by transfer from any bank app and Route covers the transfer fee. Cash and card aren’t accepted at launch.
Yes, if you already have a Route account. Send RIDE on WhatsApp to 0707 777 8750 from the phone number on your account. Share your pickup, say where you’re going, and reply YES to book. The fare comes from your Route wallet, and your driver, plate and trip PIN arrive in the chat.
Never. Messages go through Route’s WhatsApp line with numbers and links removed, and calls connect through Route with both numbers hidden.
No. Fares move only with distance and time. The one exception is a fixed 5% between 10pm and 5am. You see the estimate and service fee before you book, and the final fare follows the actual trip.
