Partners
Who we work with, and what it gets you
Every partnership on this page changes something concrete for a driver. If it didn't, it wouldn't be here.
-
Uber
Platform
- Detour operates as a Fleet and Financier partner on Uber's platform, so verification, earnings and repayments work with the account a driver already has.
-
Cartrack
Vehicle tracking
- Tracking, security and driver-behaviour products, offered to every Detour driver at a discount. It protects the driver on the road and keeps the cost of insuring the vehicle down. See the driver offer
-
AA South Africa
Roadside assistance
- Roadside assistance and breakdown cover, embedded in the Professional Driver and MyOwnBoss tiers. The tow is included on MyOwnBoss and at a reduced rate on Professional Driver; on On-The-Go the AA comes out on a pay-on-use basis. Either way a mechanical problem costs a driver a delay rather than a week's income.
-
Bluecom
Zero-rated data
- Part of the Blue Label Unlimited Group. Bluecom zero-rates the Uber Driver App and Google Maps, plus Waze on MyOwnBoss, so a driver isn't spending their own data to stay online and navigate.
-
KMJ One Capital
Insurance
- Detour Insurance is arranged through KMJ One Capital, an authorised financial services provider, giving our vehicles cover from the day they go on the road.
-
Inscape Education Group
Education
- Accredited and short courses for drivers and their families, and the delivery partner behind the Detour Bursary Scheme.
-
Valternative Energy
Electric vehicles
- South Africa's largest electric fleet and battery-swap network. Their electric motorbikes and Uber Electric car are on Subscribe to Drive, so a driver can go electric on a weekly subscription. See the electric fleet
