A driver at the wheel of a car in the city

Your car can earn without you driving it

List it with Detour. We find the driver, check them, and put them in your car. You choose who it is, and you are paid every month the car is working.

  • You choose the driver
  • Tracking and insurance arranged
  • The car stays in your name

What you get

Your car works, and you do not drive it

We find the driver, check them, and put them in your car. You choose who it is.

  • We find the driver, you choose them

    Detour screens and onboards; you see the driver and their checks before anyone gets a key.

  • Tracking and cover arranged

    A tracker in the car and insurance through our partners, so the asset is watched while it works.

  • Paid every month it is working

    One monthly payout. Everything that comes off it is named on the statement, not buried in a rate.

  • The car stays in your name

    Detour operates it. It is not sold, not pledged, and not financed against. You can take it back.

The fleet

Cars on the road, not on a forecourt

Detour runs the driver, the tracking and the collection. Your car is working while you are doing something else.
