How to use it on WhatsApp

There is nothing to download and no account to create. You type one word and answer a few questions, exactly as you would message a friend.

Send OYA

Message our WhatsApp number and send the word OYA. First time, you verify once with your NIN. After that you never do it again.

Choose a driver, or ask nearby

If you have saved drivers, they are listed and you pick one. If not, tap Ask drivers near me and the request goes out to verified drivers around you.

Say where you are going

Share your pickup location or type the address, then your destination, then the fare you want to pay.

Pick from the replies

Drivers reply with their car, their price and how far away they are. Tap the one you want.

Track him, then pay cash

You get a link to watch the car approach and his number if you need it. Pay him directly at the end. Afterwards you can save him for next time.

Drivers keep their own passengers.

  • A passenger who saves you books you directly, with the route and the fare in the message.
  • Accept or decline in one tap. No calls to answer while you are driving.
  • Not saved by anyone yet? Go available and take bookings from passengers near you.
  • Every driver is verified with their NIN before they can take a booking.

First 200 drivers who register get 30 days free. Then ₦10,000 flat a week.

No commission on any fare. Cash stays cash, and every naira a passenger pays you is yours. After the first 200, new drivers get 14 days free. Your free days start when Oya opens in your area.

Founding drivers: 30 days free
