On a R100 fare
A 25% app leaves you R75. On ShotLeftCab FREE you keep R95 — and on PRO you keep the whole R100. Every trip, all day.

Keep more.
The big apps take a quarter of everything you earn. ShotLeftCab takes 5% — or nothing at all on PRO. You keep up to 100% of every fare and 100% of every tip. Built here, banking local drivers, not shipping your money overseas.
No OTP hassle · KYC in under 24 hours · no joining fee
- 5% — not 25%
- 0% on PRO
- Rides even offline
- Cash out any day
The maths
You do the driving. You keep the money.
Two simple plans, no lock-in. Start free and pay a tiny 5%, or go PRO for a flat weekly fee and pay zero commission — whichever leaves more in your pocket.
FREE
5%per trip
Nothing upfront. Free weekly payout. Keep 95% of every fare.
Best for busy drivers
PRO
R200/week
0% commission — keep 100%. Free instant cash-out, any day.
Over a busy week
Do R5,000 in fares: a 25% app leaves you about R3,750. On ShotLeftCab FREE you keep R4,750 — and on PRO you keep every rand of it (0% commission), for a flat R200/week. That's over R1,000 more in your pocket, every week.
Tips are 100% yours
Riders can tip in the app — mid-trip or after. Every cent goes straight to you. We never take a slice of your tips.
Fair by default: your first month on PRO is money-back — if it's quiet and PRO cost you more than FREE's 5% would have, we refund the difference to your wallet. Try PRO risk-free.
Nobody else does this
Get rides even when you're offline.
On other apps, if you're not online you get nothing. On ShotLeftCab you set your area and we alert you to pre-booked rides near you — even while you're parked, resting or between shifts. Accept the good ones in advance and plan your day around real, confirmed trips.
Set your area, get alerts
Tell us where you're based. When a rider pre-books a trip within ~50 km, we ping you — on the app and on WhatsApp — so you can grab it before another driver does. No need to sit online burning data and fuel.
Accept rides in advance
See pre-booked trips, accept the ones that suit you, and they're held for you. Your upcoming rides live in one place, each with the time, route and fare — and we remind you before pickup so you never miss one.
Drive on your terms
Pick your vehicle class, set no-go zones for areas you'd rather not service, and release a booked ride back to the pool if plans change. You're in control of where and when you drive.
No app? No problem.
Sign up and drive from WhatsApp.
Getting started is a chat. Message us on WhatsApp, tap the link we send back, and you're in — no OTP codes, no downloads, no waiting on an SMS. Your demand alerts and ride updates come through on WhatsApp too, so you stay in the loop on the lightest possible data.
Your money, fast
Cash out when it suits you.
Free weekly payout
Every driver gets an automatic weekly sweep to your bank account — free, no minimum, no games.
Instant cash-out
Need it sooner? Cash out on demand, once a day. It's free on PRO, and a small flat fee on FREE — your earnings, on your schedule.
Clear earnings
See every trip, fare, commission and tip in the app — plus a daily earnings summary. No mystery deductions, no surprises.
Safe & respected
You matter, not just the rider.
Safety on ShotLeftCab runs both ways. You get the same protection a rider does — and the information to decide who gets in your car.
Panic button — yours too
One tap sends your live location to your emergency contacts and alerts our 24/7 ops desk. Drivers get it, not just riders.
See the rider first
Every rider carries a Bronze/Silver/Gold trust tier from real two-way ratings. You see it before you accept — no blind pickups.
Secure Drive
A quick face-check at pickup confirms the rider, and confirms you to them — no swapped accounts, no confusion.
Cashless & verified cash
Card and PayShap are handled for you; cash is only offered to ID-verified riders, rounded to the nearest R5 so there's no change to count.
Women drivers, protected
The women-driver option is restricted to verified women riders — so women drivers who opt in are matched safely.
No surge gouging
Surge is capped hard, and a late-night minimum-fare guarantee means short trips after 22:00 still pay properly.
Getting started
On the road in three steps.
