Why Detour
A car that sits still is costing you
List it with Detour and it works. We find the driver and check them, you choose who it is, and the car stays in your name the whole time.
The difference
More of this, with your car
What putting a car on Detour's fleet is, and what it is not.

Your car earns while a Detour Verified Uber Driver drives it
Detour Verified means
- Identity (KYC)
- Background and criminal checks
- Home inspection
- Licence verification
- Traffic fines
A driver whose home inspection fails is never presented to you. Nothing is signed until you have met us and seen the driver.
FAQ
Questions owners ask
Who picks the driver?
You do. We screen and onboard drivers and present them with their checks; choosing is yours, and the second half of the first month's fee only falls due once you have chosen.
Whose name is the car in?
Yours. Detour operates it. It is not sold to us, not pledged, and not financed against, and you can take it back.
What happens if the driver damages it?
Insurance is arranged through our partners before anybody drives, and the tracker is in the car from the start. The policy details are on the agreement you sign, not summarised here.
What if you cannot place my car?
The deposit is refunded in full. That is what it is for: it holds your place while we look, and it is not a fee for looking.
How many cars can I list?
As many as you have. One car starts at List your car; several is the same process run once, and List a fleet is the page for it.
List it when you are ready
Tell us about the car and we come back to you. Nothing is signed until you have met us and seen the driver.
