Driver License Fee
What Driveey charges drivers
Driveey charges a 7% License Fee on every trip, but it never grows unchecked — it's always capped at Rs. 500, whether that's one standard ride or the combined total of every passenger in a shared carpool listing.
- check_circle Standard trip: 7% of the fare, capped at Rs. 500 per ride
- check_circle Shared carpool listing: 7% per passenger, but the whole listing's combined fee is capped at Rs. 500
- check_circle 24-hour rolling cap: total fees from a driver's wallet never exceed Rs. 500 in any rolling 24 hours

Typical international platforms often take 15–25% with no real ceiling. Driveey charges 7%, but a standard ride never pays more than Rs. 500, and an entire shared carpool listing — no matter how many passengers — never pays more than Rs. 500 combined.
Example settlement
How the fee calculation works, step by step
1. Standard trip — no caps triggered (Lahore city ride)
7% stays well under the Rs. 500 per-ride ceiling, so it's charged as-is.
Trip total
Rs. 2,000
7% calculation
Rs. 140
Driver net
Rs. 1,860
2. Per-ride ceiling hit — private intercity trip (Lahore ➝ Islamabad)
On a bigger fare, 7% crosses Rs. 500, so it's capped at the ceiling.
| Trip Total | 7% Calculation | Applied Fee | Driver Net |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rs. 10,000 | Rs. 700 | Rs. 500 CAPPED | Rs. 9,500 |
| Rs. 20,000 | Rs. 1,400 | Rs. 500 CAPPED | Rs. 19,500 |
3. Shared Listing Total Cap — carpool listing (Karachi ➝ Multan, 4 passengers)
Each passenger books a Rs. 2,000 seat. Raw 7% per seat is Rs. 140 — no single seat alone would hit the Rs. 500 ceiling. But this is a shared listing, so all the fees collected across every passenger are added up, and the running total is capped at Rs. 500 for the whole listing.
| Passenger | Seat Fare | Raw 7% | Running Total | Charged Fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Passenger 1 | Rs. 2,000 | Rs. 140 | Rs. 140 (under 500) | Rs. 140 OK |
| Passenger 2 | Rs. 2,000 | Rs. 140 | Rs. 280 (under 500) | Rs. 140 OK |
| Passenger 3 | Rs. 2,000 | Rs. 140 | Rs. 420 (under 500) | Rs. 140 OK |
| Passenger 4 | Rs. 2,000 | Rs. 140 | Would reach Rs. 560 | Rs. 80 CAPPED |
| Total fee collected across the listing | Rs. 500 | |||
The first three passengers are charged plain 7% since the running total stays under Rs. 500. Passenger 4's raw 7% (Rs. 140) would push the listing total to Rs. 560, so only the remaining Rs. 80 is charged to reach the Rs. 500 cap — after that, no further fee would be collected from any additional passenger on this listing.
Wallet debt settlement
Negative balance = settle within 3 days
When a trip is completed, the License Fee is deducted at 7% of the trip total — capped at Rs. 500 for a standard ride, or capped at Rs. 500 combined across a whole shared carpool listing, with an overall Rs. 500 rolling cap on any driver's fees in a 24-hour window. If the wallet balance becomes negative, it represents an outstanding debt. Drivers must clear any negative balance within 3 calendar days via authorized methods (Bank Transfer, JazzCash, Easypaisa, etc.). Failure to settle may result in temporary suspension. Account deletion requires all outstanding financial obligations to be cleared.
