What you can book

Four kinds of drive. One coast.

  • 01

    Sunset Cruise

    Windows down along the coast road as the light goes orange. The classic.

  • 02

    Photoshoot

    The car, the location and the time of day picked for the camera.

  • 03

    Adrenaline

    Turbo spooling, launch control, a driver who knows the machine.

  • 04

    Date Night

    Old Town lights, a quiet cabin, and nobody watching the clock.

Why riders love it

Built for the moment, not the mileage.

This is not a taxi and not a rental. You book an experience with the person who owns the car, and they drive it.

  • Browse real cars, real owners

    Every listing shows the car, the route, what is included, the rules and the host's rating.

  • Pick a date and a time slot

    Hosts set their own availability. You choose a day, a slot, how many guests and any add-ons.

  • The host accepts first

    No money moves until the owner has said yes. Then you have 12 hours to lock it in.

  • Pay the deposit on M-Pesa

    An STK prompt lands on your phone. Enter your PIN and the booking is confirmed on the spot.

  • Chat and reminders

    Message your host in the app, add the drive to your calendar, get reminded 24 hours and 2 hours before.

  • Rate the drive

    After the experience, leave a review. Ratings keep the best hosts at the top.

Money and safety

Clear on price. Clear on refunds.

A deposit locks the slot

Each experience shows its price and its deposit up front. The deposit is at least 20% of the price and is paid on M-Pesa after the host accepts.

The balance is paid at the meetup

You pay the remaining amount to the host in person when you meet, and the host marks it received in the app.

Refunds by the clock

Cancel early and the deposit comes back in full. The later the cancellation, the smaller the refund.

24 hours or more before the drive
100% of the deposit
Less than 24 hours before
50% of the deposit
On the day of the drive
No refund

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is this a taxi or a car rental?

Neither. You book a timed experience in a specific car, and the owner drives it. You never take the wheel and the car never leaves its owner.

How do I pay?

The deposit is paid on M-Pesa inside the app through an STK prompt on your phone. The balance is paid to the host at the meetup, in cash or M-Pesa, as you both agree.

When is my booking confirmed?

As soon as your deposit lands. The host first accepts your request, then you have 12 hours to pay the deposit before the slot is released.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Cancel 24 hours or more before the drive and you get 100% of the deposit. Less than 24 hours before it is 50% of the deposit, and on the day there is no refund.

How many people can come?

Each listing sets its own limit, up to 3 guests. You choose the number when you book.

Who are the hosts?

Car owners in Mombasa who applied, uploaded their ID and car documents, and were approved by our team. Verified hosts carry a badge in the app.

How do hosts get paid?

Deposits are collected by Unik Ride Tales on M-Pesa and paid out to hosts weekly, less a 20% service fee. The balance goes straight to the host at the meetup.

Which phones does the app support?

Android and iPhone, with a Kenyan (+254) phone number for sign-in.
