How it works
From request to arrival in four steps.
MyLift uses a two-way confirmation. A driver accepts your request, then you decide whether to go with them — nobody is assigned to you without your say.
-
STEP 01
Set your route
Enter pickup and drop-off. The app returns a distance-based fare estimate before anything is committed.
-
STEP 02
A driver accepts
Your request goes to verified drivers in your zone. The first to accept is shown to you with their vehicle and rating.
-
STEP 03
You confirm
Approve the driver to lock the trip, or decline and stay in the queue for the next one. The choice stays with you.
-
STEP 04
Travel and pay
Ride, then settle by cash, mobile money or card and leave a rating that keeps the network honest.
Safety and trust
We check the driver before the road does.
Every driver on MyLift submits their licence, their vehicle details and photographic proof before they can accept a single request. Riders see who is coming, and rate them afterwards.
- Driving licence on fileFront and back images are captured at registration and reviewed by our operations team.
- Vehicle registered and photographedPlate number, model, year and colour are recorded so the car that arrives is the car you expect.
- Verified phone and emailAccounts are confirmed by one-time code before a rider or driver can transact.
- Ratings after every tripScores follow the driver. Persistent low ratings remove them from the network.

Questions
Answers before you download.
How is my fare calculated?
Fares are a per-kilometre rate for the road distance between pickup and drop-off, with a minimum fare for short trips. Rides and bike deliveries each have their own rate. The price appears before you confirm, so you are never surprised at the end of a trip.
Can I pay without a bank card?
Yes. Cash is accepted on every trip, and mobile money is supported in each market we operate in. Cards are optional, not required, and you choose your method when you request the ride.
What happens if no driver accepts my request?
Requests expire after a set window rather than hanging indefinitely. If nothing is accepted, the request closes and you can submit a new one, adjust your pickup point, or try a different service.
Can I cancel after a driver has accepted?
You can. Because MyLift asks you to confirm the driver before the trip is locked in, you may decline an acceptance outright, and you can cancel a confirmed trip with a reason recorded on the booking.
How heavy a parcel can a bike courier carry?
You enter the weight and dimensions when you create the delivery, along with the package type — parcel, document, food, groceries or other. Couriers see those details before accepting, so jobs are matched to what the rider can safely carry.
