Government has drafted rules to regulate inDrive, Bolt and other e-hailing apps in Zimbabwe. Under the draft, apps would need accreditation and a local office, and commission would be capped at 18%. Surge pricing would be limited to 2x, and drivers would have to be Zimbabwean citizens aged 21+ with an e-hailing permit. Cars would be capped at 10 years old, and no car could go live without ZIMRA tax clearance. Passengers would need ID verification to pay cash or ride at night. Figures are still being finalised.
