Drive on your terms. Keep 100% of your fare.
The ride-hailing network where drivers pay one flat monthly fee and every Birr they earn stays theirs. Verified through Fayda, Ethiopia’s national digital ID. Built for how Addis actually moves.

A Fairer Model for Everyone
Drivers pay a fixed monthly fee (after a free First Ten Drives) instead of per-ride commissions. Riders enjoy lower fares because the middleman isn't taking a cut of every mile.

Real identities. Real accountability.
Fayda identity anchoring
Every driver is verified against Fayda, the National ID Program (NIDP) — the same digital ID Ethiopia is enrolling its citizens into. Not a nickname and a photo: a real, government-anchored identity.
~29.5M Ethiopians enrolled and climbing
eKYC facial matching
Onboarding requires a live selfie matched against the government record through the National ID Program’s eKYC — confirming the person driving is exactly who they claim to be.
Live face match, not a paper ID photo
Local coverage
From Bole to Piassa to Megenagna — reliable rides across every kebele in the capital, day and night.
Both sides authenticated per trip
Live sharing & on-screen SOS
Share your live route with a trusted contact in one tap, with an SOS control on screen for the whole ride. Safety is a default, not a setting you have to find.
One-tap trip sharing
Inspected, not just rated
Stars measure a mood. GetRider vehicles pass a safety-and-cleanliness check to go live and are re-verified on a schedule tied to renewal. A rating is an opinion; an inspection is a fact.
Re-verified every cycle
Two-way accountability
Masked numbers on both sides and a complete in-app record of every trip — who drove, which car, which route. Accountability that works in both directions.
Numbers masked · every trip logged
Stop renting your car to the app.
Other platforms treat drivers as an endless revenue stream. GetRider is a software utility: you pay a single flat monthly fee, and every Birr you earn stays in your pocket.
One flat monthly subscription — the whole fare is yours.
Reported ~12% commission taken on every trip.
Reported ~8% commission taken on every trip.
Zero per-ride commission. Where competitors take a reported ~12% (Ride) or ~8% (Feres) on every single trip, GetRider takes 0%. You do the work, you keep the cash.
No skimming, cash or digital. We don’t shave your base fare or your per-kilometer rate. Whether your passenger pays in cash or by Telebirr / CBE Birr, the fare goes straight to you.
Predictable overhead. Your platform cost is exactly the same whether you drive 10 trips a month or 100. Drive more, earn more — the fee never moves.
Keep 100% of every fare. Your only platform cost is one flat monthly subscription. As with any independent business, fuel, maintenance, and taxes remain your own.

“—” means the feature is not publicly advertised by that platform as of publication — it is not a claim that the feature is absent. Competitor commission figures are reported/approximate and can vary by time of day and promotion. Ride and Feres both operate phone-dispatch call centers (8294 and 6090). Figures current as of publication; we update this table as the market changes.
Dual Experience
Optimized tools for those who ride and those who drive.
The Passenger App
Intuitive booking, real-time tracking, and a premium interface designed for daily use.
The Driver App
Powerful earnings dashboard, heatmaps for high-demand areas, and precise navigation tools.
Built for how Addis actually moves.
We researched why rides fail, get canceled, or run late — and rebuilt the app around the root causes, not the symptoms.
Landmark-first routing
Street addresses aren’t always reliable here — people navigate by landmarks. Our passenger app includes a required “nearest landmark” field, so the driver knows exactly where to go without calling to ask.
Fewer confirmation calls, fewer missed pickups
VoIP privacy calling
Drivers reject rides from foreign or unfamiliar numbers. GetRider masks every number and routes rider–driver calls through the app over data. It saves drivers airtime, protects rider privacy, and means an international traveler isn’t left stranded at the airport — or handed to street touts charging several times the fair rate.
No number sharing · no airtime cost · no lost tourists
