6th May 2024, Kathmandu
inDrive a global mobility and urban services platform, has officially launched its operations in Nepal. inDrive provides transparent conditions at the lowest possible commissions. In Nepal, inDrive has introduced a commission charge of 10% for drivers, to ensure fair and affordable rides for both drivers and passengers.
The app’s popularity is growing because of our unique people-to-people model and human-driven approach. Unlike other ride-hailing apps, where algorithms determine pricing, inDrive offers a unique service by allowing passengers and drivers to independently negotiate the fare of the ride. It gives people the freedom to decide the fate of a ride and even bargain with the driver directly within the app. With the inDrive app people can either offer a fare for their ride or choose one of the drivers offers amongst many based on their Vehicle Model, Driver Rating & Arrival Time. This unique system empowers drivers to choose ride requests that suit them best, suggesting their prices and deciding which trips to accept.
Pavit Nanda Anand, APAC Communications Lead, inDrive commented, “As a brand, at inDrive our mission is to Challenge injustice to make the world a fairer place for 1 billion+ people. We are excited to announce that inDrive is now officially in Nepal. inDrive gives freedom of choice to people all around the world. Nepal’s market is extremely important for us, and we believe that our services will bring innovation and employment to the Nepali market.”
Ms. Rita Pokhrel, Director of inDrive Nepal, added: “inDrive’s official launch in Nepal marks a new chapter in the ride-hailing industry of Nepal.
