One of the biggest frustrations for drivers on traditional e-hailing platforms is the lack of control. Fixed fares, strict schedules, and limited communication with passengers can make driving feel more like following orders than being your own boss. Crab A Ride changes that by giving South African drivers complete freedom over how they drive, earn, and connect.
Crab A Ride is an intercity ridesharing platform designed to put drivers in charge. You decide when to drive, where to go, and how much to charge per seat. There’s no algorithm telling you when to work or how much your trip is worth, you set the rules.
When you’re planning a trip, you can upload your route on crabaride.co.za or through our WhatsApp automated service at 0744 219 807. Add your travel details, set your price per seat, and post your trip. Once live, passengers who are heading in the same direction can browse your route, view your price, and book instantly.
The best part? Booking is free, and the moment someone reserves a seat, you’ll get a WhatsApp notification with their contact details. You can reach out directly to confirm pickup points and travel plans, keeping everything personal and transparent.
Crab A Ride also gives you flexibility in how you get paid. You can receive cash directly from passengers or choose to be paid securely through the platform. Either way, you keep the majority of what you earn, with low service fees that help you maximise your profits.
Unlike traditional platforms, Crab A Ride doesn’t pressure you to meet daily targets or chase peak-hour bonuses. You drive when it suits you, maybe a weekend trip to visit family, a midweek business route, or even a spontaneous road trip. Every journey can now pay for itself, and more.
Beyond the financial freedom, Crab A Ride builds a sense of community among South African drivers. You’re not just offering rides; you’re helping connect people safely, affordably, and sustainably. Together, drivers and passengers are reshaping how the country travels, one shared ride at a time.
If you’re ready to drive on your terms, join the growing community of drivers who are choosing independence, flexibility, and fair earnings with Crab A Ride.

Crab A Ride, drive your own way and earn your own way.
