How much does Efuka take from my fares?

Drivers set their own rate. They receive 83% of each fare upfront (93% once they hit their reserve cap). Riders pay the rate plus an 8% service fee, and Efuka absorbs Stripe processing and payout fees. A 10% dispute reserve is held for 90 days from each ride; the reserve is capped at $500, $1,500, or $3,000 based on rolling 90-day ride volume. There is no surge pricing, no app store tax, and no hidden booking fees.

What credentials do I need to drive on Efuka?

A valid driver's license, PUC certification, commercial insurance, and a vehicle inspection. Efuka provides the onboarding dashboard and compliance document upload.

Can I set my own schedule?

Yes — drivers mark themselves available or unavailable. Rides are scheduled 30+ minutes in advance, so you always know when your next ride is. No algorithm demanding you drive.

For Drivers

The math that matters

Your labor.
Your majority.

Most rideshare platforms take 25–40% of what riders pay. Efuka flips that: you set a rate, riders pay that rate plus a 7% service fee, you receive 83% of each fare upfront (93% once you hit your reserve cap), and Efuka absorbs Stripe processing and payout fees. Efuka's platform fee is 7%; a 10% dispute reserve is held for 90 days. The math is the same on every page that mentions it.

A driver earning $50,000/year in fares on other rideshares typically takes home ~$31,000. That same $50,000 in fares on Efuka — receiving 83% of each fare upfront, or 93% once the reserve cap is reached — comes out to ~$41,500 to ~$46,500. The 7% rider service fee is on top of your rate; the comparison below uses the same $50,000 in fares to make the like-for-like gain visible.

How fees work

You set a rate. The rider pays your rate plus a 7% service fee. Efuka's platform fee is 7%. You receive 83% of each fare upfront; 10% is held as a 90-day dispute reserve. Once you hit your reserve cap, you receive 93% upfront. Efuka absorbs Stripe processing and payout fees.

Example: a $100 fare → rider pays $108 → you receive $83 now and $10 after 90 days. After your reserve cap is reached, you receive $93 now.
