No fewer than 600 top-performing drivers of the global mobility and urban services platform, inDrive, will receive insurance coverage in the newly introduced loyalty programme in partnership with My cover Genius.

The enhanced Platinum Tier reward scheme is part of the company’s driver support initiatives designed to recognise excellence, promote safety and security on the roads.

It reflects inDrive’s ongoing effort to challenge industry norms and foster a more equitable ride-hailing ecosystem—one that is fair, rewards excellence, and supports economic mobility for drivers.

The successful expansion of the programme relies heavily on strategic local partnerships, which provide added value, with inDrive reiterating that no new city rollout will occur without these partnerships in place, ensuring that the loyalty program remains both impactful and sustainable.

The loyalty scheme currently operates with two goal structures: weekly goals with weekly tier updates, as implemented in locations such as Lagos, and monthly goals with monthly tier updates, which are currently in the testing phase.

The new Platinum Tier initiative will reward the top drivers who consistently meet performance benchmarks. In Lagos, for example, the weekly target to qualify is 25 completed rides.

Drivers who achieve Platinum status receive a range of premium benefits, including lower service payments, which allow them to keep most of what they make.

In addition, they will get first access to ride requests, enabling them to view passenger requests before other drivers and get more ride opportunities.

Further, they will enjoy high-priority customer support on any issues to minimise downtime and stay productive, as well as exclusive partner bonuses like discounts from partners (Car Insurance and Vehicle maintenance) to cut their costs and boost your income

“Our drivers are more than just partners; they’re the backbone of our service. By introducing the Platinum Tier and providing insurance to hundreds of drivers, we are taking real steps toward recognising performance while also improving security and peace of mind,” the Country representative of inDrive in Nigeria, Mr Timothy Oladimeji, stated.

Ahead of the Friday, August 1, 2025, enforcement of the e-Call up System along the Lekki-Epe corridor, more than 10,000 trucks have been registered by the Lagos State government.

A statement said in preparation for the rollout, the Lagos State Ministry of Transportation has actively engaged key stakeholders and implemented critical recommendations, including reduction of the park usage fee to N10,000 from N12,500, and equipping the designation of seven truck parks.

To ensure a seamless transition, the Ministry, in collaboration with e-Call up Technologies, has launched a familiarisation exercise across the approved parks. This initiative includes free system testing and hands-on guidance for truck drivers on registration and operational procedures.

The initiative aims to streamline truck movements, ease traffic congestion, eliminate illegal parking, and enhance compliance among operators. It is expected to significantly improve traffic flow, safeguard road infrastructure, enhance public safety, and stimulate economic activity along the corridor.

The state government has urged all stakeholders to complete their registration and work collaboratively with relevant agencies to ensure the successful implementation of this initiative, which marks another step toward a smarter and more efficient transportation system in the state.
