Features

Everything Lift does for riders and drivers

One app, one contract, two experiences — built for QwaQwa's scale, not a big city's.

For riders

Get moving without the guesswork

Upfront fare estimates

See your fare before you request a ride — no surprises when the trip ends.

Live ride tracking

Watch your driver's position on the map in real time, from acceptance through to arrival.

Pay your way

Card via Paystack, EFT/card via PayFast, or cash — choose per trip.

Saved places

Set Home and Work once, then request a ride there in a single tap.

Pickup PIN

A 4-digit code your driver confirms before starting the trip, so pickups are never mixed up.

Ride history & receipts

Every trip you've taken, with fare and route details, one tap away.

Rate your driver

Quick feedback after every ride helps keep the service reliable for everyone.

Emergency & share trip

Reach emergency services or share your trip details with someone you trust, in one tap.

Ride alerts

Get notified the moment your driver accepts, arrives, or starts the trip — even if the app is in the background.

For drivers

A straightforward way to earn locally

Simple onboarding

Profile, vehicle details, and document upload — verified before your first trip.

Go online, get requests

Toggle online and receive nearby ride requests, even while the app is backgrounded.

Guided trip flow

Arrive, confirm the pickup PIN, start, and complete each trip in one clear sequence.

Payout details on file

Record your bank details once so the operator can pay you out, no back-and-forth needed.

Earnings & history

See what you've earned and every trip you've run, at a glance.

Rate your riders

Feedback goes both ways — riders rate drivers, and drivers rate riders.

Under the hood

Built to stay simple and dependable

Notifications that respect your battery

No constant push service running in the background — just a lightweight check-in that alerts you exactly when something changes.

Local place search

Destination search understands QwaQwa's own landmarks, not just generic map data.

Secure by design

Passwords are salted and hashed, sessions expire safely, and your account can be deleted at any time from inside the app.

Built for QwaQwa

Not a generic big-city app squeezed into a small town — Lift is sized and tuned for how the town actually moves.
