The arrival of the Indian ridesharing giant Ola in Australia and New Zealand was welcomed by ridesharing customer in these countries. Considering that now they had an alternative choice travelling from point A to B. Formerly, they only knew Uber as the largest ride-hail provider for more than four years.
Ola’s arrival is also became good news for rideshare driver-partners around the countries. Now they have an opportunity to earn more by becoming partners in more than one company.
To lure existing rideshare drivers to sign up as drivers on their platforms, Ola offers several incentives and rewards. When they first arrived in Australia and NZ, they charged a 9% or even 0% introductory commission fee which was valid for several weeks, before finally the fee went back to the 18% as a default percentage of commission fee.
This commission fee implemented by Ola right here is certainly less than the fee imposed by Uber, which is 25%. But Ola is not the company that provides the lowest commission fee, as there is Didi who offers up to 0% fee for the most committed drivers on the platform through Didi Advance.
In addition to lower commission fees, Ola also provides several rewards and financial bonuses that can maximize drivers’ income on their platforms. The following are some of them:
Ola Rewards
The Rewards menu is very easy to find in the Ola driver app, drivers can find it at the bottom of the app with a coin stack icon. When you are eligible, in the rewards menu you will find a list of promotional offers or rewards that you can get. In the rewards menu section you can also see information about reward details including scheme validity (date) as well as terms and conditions.
