Passengers
At Drop, we are committed to serving you and creating the best and safest possible environment for you to reach your desired destination. As such, we have made changes and updates to our Fee Structure, Cancellation Fees & Policies and Hourly Hire service.
The major change is that we are switching to distance and time with our base rate of $25 with an additional $1.25 per km.
These changes will come into effect at midnight this Wed 13th June 2018. During the hours of 1am to 5am there will be a 15% surcharge added to the regular rate card.
These policy changes are intended to continue providing you with the best possible customer service and experience.
DROP connects drivers and passengers in a secure network. When you order a ride via a toll-free call or via the app, a driver will be on his way to deliver door-to-door service.
Yes, you can – pre-booking will remain on DROP’s original fare structure of Flat Rates by zone. Please note that all pre-bookings can be made a minimum of 2 hours in advance of the desired pick-up time.
We provide optimum safety for our customers, with driver background checks and transmission of your driver’s photo as well as car photo and registration, via the app.
Passengers can pay using a credit card, or pay drivers directly with cash.
All rides can be booked via our app and website 24 hours a day, however, if you prefer to book by calling our dispatch centre, phone bookings can be made Monday to Friday from 8am to 4pm, and Saturday from 10am to 2pm.

Drivers
Definitely. If you already have a job, you can drive for a few hours after work, or perhaps just on weekends. It’s up to you.
All DROP drivers are thoroughly screened. We require a police certificate of good character and your home address. We also ask that you ensure your car’s inspection approval is up to date.
