01

Set where you're going

Your pickup is your current location. Add stops if you need them — the fare covers the whole route.

02

Choose a ride and confirm

Every option shows its price and how soon it can reach you. Once a driver accepts you see their name, photo, car and plate.

03

Give your code and go

Read your 4-digit pickup code to the driver. Pay at the end by your chosen method and rate the trip.

Questions

Asked most often

Can't find your answer? Our Help Centre covers riders and drivers, and support is open 24/7.

How do I book a ride?

Tap “Where to?”, enter your destination, choose a ride and confirm. Your pickup is your current location — tap it to change it. Once a driver accepts you see their name, rating, car and number plate.

What is the pickup code?

A 4-digit code shown on your ride screen once a driver is on the way. Read it to the driver when you get in — the trip cannot start until they enter it, so you never board the wrong car.

How is my fare calculated?

By the base fare for the car type you pick, plus a charge for every kilometre of the route through all your stops; very short trips pay the minimum fare. At busy times (peak hours, late nights, high demand or heavy rain) an extra may apply — it is already in the price shown before you confirm. Waiting at pickup or at a stop after a few free minutes, and a traffic delay if the trip takes much longer than expected, are added per minute at the end. Your receipt lists every charge.

Can I book a ride for later?

Yes. Tap the yellow “Later” button, enter your destination, pick the date and time, choose a ride and confirm — from 30 minutes up to 30 days ahead. Shortly before pickup the app asks you to confirm, then Ollo finds your driver. Reserved rides are paid when you book.

How much do drivers keep?

Ollo's commission is never more than 18% — it is set per vehicle type, some types pay less, and it is always rounded down in the driver's favour. At 18%, a driver keeps KSh 820 of a KSh 1,000 trip.
