inDrive Cuts Abuja Peak Hour Commissions to 0.1% to Boost Drivers’ Earnings

inDrive, the global ride-hailing service, has announced a significant reduction in its commission fee for drivers in Abuja, slashing it to just 0.1% during peak hours. This move aims to boost driver income and support their operations during periods of heightened demand.

According to inDrive’s management, this initiative is designed to help drivers retain the majority of their earnings during the busiest times of the day, thereby increasing their income and alleviating the financial pressures many face amid rising living costs. The new policy takes effect immediately and applies to key morning and evening rush hours throughout the week.

Known for maintaining some of the lowest commission rates in the industry, inDrive’s latest move underscores its commitment to fairness and driver welfare. The company emphasizes that this initiative reflects its dedication to putting drivers first and fostering a more equitable platform.

Oladimeji Timothy, the Country Representative for inDrive Nigeria, expressed enthusiasm about the development: “This initiative is part of our ongoing efforts to increase drivers’ earnings and reinforce our commitment to fairness and empowerment. With just 0.1% commission during peak hours, drivers in Abuja can retain nearly all their earnings during the times they need it most. It’s a move designed to put more money directly into drivers’ pockets when demand is high.”

inDrive’s unique peer-to-peer fare negotiation model allows drivers and passengers to agree on fares before the ride begins. This, combined with its low commission structure, offers drivers more control over their income compared to traditional ride-hailing platforms.

Oladimeji added, “On weekdays, the 0.1% commission applies at 7:00 AM, 8:00 AM, 4:00 PM, and 5:00 PM. During weekends, the reduced rate extends to additional evening periods, giving drivers more opportunities to earn during peak demand times.”
