Signing in and managing your account
Sign in with your existing phone number and password. Open Account to reach the Driver Portal. Choose Profile & vehicle to update your details, then press Save. Never share your password or let someone else operate your account.
Going online and reviewing requests
Return to the driver map, allow location access and choose Go online when ready. Check the pickup, destination and proposed fare. Accept, counter or decline using the available controls. A counter-offer must be agreed before you start the job.
Completing a trip
Confirm you have the correct passenger or delivery before starting. Follow the job controls and only mark the job complete when the service is finished. If payment recording fails, contact support and keep the trip reference.
Reading your statements
In Account, choose Trip statements & CSV export. Select dates and load the statement. The total contains recorded agreed fares, not confirmed payouts. Missing fares are marked Not recorded. Commission, refunds and settlement are not included.
Notifications and verification
Open Sound & notification settings to configure alerts. A licence number on file does not prove verification. Document upload and review tracking are not yet connected; contact staff for guidance.

Know a place
Locals should go?
We’re interested in hearing from people across Africa and around the world who understand their communities and want to help build local services.
Tell us about transport needs, potential drivers, local businesses and connectivity in your area. An enquiry does not mean Locals is operating there or that you have permission to launch on its behalf.
