How to become an Uber fleet partner

A fleet partner owns vehicles and supplies them to Uber drivers. Uber's South African fleet page says it covers Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Gqeberha and Durban and has a Register now button, but it lists no steps or fees.

The steps, in order

How to get started

  1. Open Uber's fleet owner page and choose Register now.
  2. Uber's general help article says the form asks whether you drive yourself, supply cars to drivers, or both, then you confirm your email and submit.
  3. Prepare the documents listed below before you start.

Have these ready

Documents and information

  • Your ID.
  • Your business tax registration certificate.
  • A private hire vehicle licence.
  • A bank statement in the company's name.
  • (This list comes from Uber's general help article, which is not specific to South Africa, so it may differ. Confirm in the form.)

Be realistic

What to expect

Fleet partners carry the vehicle cost and the risk of an empty car. Work out what a driver can earn before fleet fees, then decide.

Watch out for scams. Our advice, not an official warning: only apply on the company's own website, and never pay a person to 'get you approved'.
What we could not confirm. Any South African fleet requirements beyond the help article. Operating licence cost per vehicle.
