Driver Terms

1. Independent contractor

You use Roadstar as an independent contractor, not an employee. You choose which jobs to quote for and when you work, and you're responsible for your own tax.

2. Eligibility and verification

You must hold a valid driver licence for your vehicle, provide a photo ID and proof of address, and keep your vehicle registration (licence plate) up to date. You can't send quotes until our team approves your documents. We may suspend you if documents expire or are found to be false.

3. Vehicle and insurance

Your vehicle must be roadworthy and legally registered. Insurance for your vehicle and goods in transit is optional on Roadstar but strongly recommended; check what your own policy covers.

4. Quotes and jobs

Your quote is a binding offer once a customer accepts it. Follow the status steps in the app, handle items with care, and only collect the item described. You may refuse unsafe or prohibited items.

5. Earnings and payouts

You receive 90% of your quoted fare plus 100% of tips. Payouts go to the payout account you add (bank, mobile money or e-wallet — never cash) after the job is completed. Amounts may be held while a dispute is open.

6. Conduct

Be respectful, keep customer details private and only use them for the job. Don't ask customers to pay outside Roadstar.
