Frequently Asked Questions
Can't find what you're looking for? Message us directly on the Telegram bot.
Do I need to download an app to use AnyRide?
No. AnyRide runs entirely inside Telegram, so there's nothing extra to install. If you have Telegram, you already have AnyRide.
Is AnyRide available across South Africa?
Yes. AnyRide connects drivers and passengers on routes across all nine provinces, with the busiest corridors between Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape.
How do I pay for a trip?
Payments are processed securely through Paystack, directly inside your Telegram chat. Card and instant EFT options are supported.
How are drivers verified?
Every driver submits their licence and vehicle details for review before they can accept bookings, and ongoing ratings help keep standards high.
Can I send a parcel without travelling myself?
Yes. Choose Parcel Delivery in the bot, enter the pickup and drop-off points, and a driver already travelling that route will carry it for you.
What if I need to cancel a booking?
You can cancel directly from your Telegram chat. Refund terms depend on how close to departure the cancellation happens.
How much can I earn as a driver?
Earnings depend on your route, trip frequency and vehicle capacity. Long-distance and shuttle routes with multiple passengers typically earn the most.
Is my personal information safe?
Yes. AnyRide uses Telegram's encrypted infrastructure alongside secure payment processing, and only shares the details needed to complete your trip.
Does AnyRide operate at night?
Availability depends on drivers active on your route at the time. Popular routes typically have options throughout the day and into the evening.
