Mobility Voucher

Fuel up or charge up now. Pay from next week's Uber earnings.

Petrol, diesel or EV charging, before payday. Fuel only? Apply for the Detour Fuel card. Need cash to charge? Get Detour Capital.

Fuel card: opens fuel.detour.africa, a separate sign-up from your Detour account. Detour Capital: signs you up on driver.detour.africa.

The Fuel card needs a Detour Drive Account

The Fuel card is for drivers on a Detour plan. Your plan keeps your Detour Drive Account active, and that is what keeps your Fuel card working.

How the account works

Why drivers use it

Fill up today, not on payday

Here at Detour we provide Mobility Vouchers to carry you over until payday. Fill up at any major station and pay a small service fee through your Uber account. No cash. No upfront payment.

  • Fill up at any major fuel station.
  • No cash, and nothing to pay upfront.
  • Pay next week through your Uber account, plus a small service fee.
  • You see the fee before you confirm.

As a Driver, you will earn R100 from every driver you refer who buys at least R400 of fuel with Mobility Vouchers.
