How it works

Search. Book. Collect. Drive.

Renting a vehicle should be simple. LekkaShare connects trusted local vehicle owners with verified renters through one convenient platform.

Find

Browse vehicles from local owners near you — by suburb, dates, budget and type.

Request

Pick your dates and send a booking request. The owner stays in control of their calendar.

Confirm

Both sides are verified, the booking is confirmed and payment is held securely.

Collect

Meet the owner (or get delivery), run a quick photo checklist together, take the keys.

Drive

Enjoy the trip. Return, rate each other, and the owner gets paid that Thursday.

For vehicle owners

Turn parked time into earning time

Your car is an asset. Listing it on LekkaShare can help cover the real costs of ownership — instalments, insurance, maintenance, licensing — while it would otherwise stand still.

  • You stay in control. Set your own availability, approve every request, block dates any time.
  • Verified renters only. ID, licence and selfie checks on every renter before they can book.
  • Paid every Thursday. Weekly payouts straight to your bank account, with a clear earnings dashboard.
  • Pricing guidance per model. We suggest competitive rates for your exact make and model — you set the final price.

For renters

Need a car in Cape Town?

Work trips, weekends away, family visits, or wheels while yours is in for repairs — rent from real people near you instead of a queue at a rental desk.

Closer than a branch

Collect around the corner — or have the car delivered to your door, hotel or the airport.

Better value

Peer-to-peer means lower overheads — our target is 20–30% below traditional rental rates.

Real choice

From budget hatchbacks to bakkies, 7-seaters and something special for the weekend.

Verified owners

Every vehicle and owner is checked and rated, with a photo condition report at handover.

Flexible periods

Hourly, daily, weekend, weekly or monthly — rent for exactly as long as you need.

Support local

Your money goes to a Cape Town family, not a multinational fleet. Lekker, nè?

Trust & safety

Trust connects every journey

Sharing only works when everyone feels safe. LekkaShare is being designed around responsible participation from day one.

Identity verification

SA ID, driver's licence and selfie checks for renters and owners before any booking.

Cover on every trip

We're finalising per-trip insurance with South African underwriters so owners are covered while their car is out.

Tracking on every vehicle

GPS tracking on all listed vehicles — South Africa's telematics network is world-class, and we use it.

Secure payments

Card and instant EFT held securely until the booking — no cash, no awkwardness, full records.

Ratings both ways

Owners rate renters, renters rate owners. Consistently great members earn more; bad actors are removed.

Help when it matters

Roadside assistance and a real human support line for every active booking.

We believe in straight talk: LekkaShare is pre-launch. Insurance, verification and support partnerships are being finalised now, and full platform rules and eligibility requirements will be published before bookings open. We won't launch without them.

FAQ

Good questions, straight answers

When does LekkaShare launch?

We're onboarding founding vehicle owners in Cape Town now, with a carefully vetted pilot ahead of the summer season. Waitlist members hear first — and get first access.

Who decides when my car is available?

You do. Owners control their calendar completely: open the dates that suit you, block the dates you need your car, and approve every booking request yourself.

Is my car insured while someone else drives it?

This is the question we take most seriously. Standard personal policies don't cover paid rentals, which is why we're building per-trip cover with South African underwriters into the platform itself — plus verification, tracking and deposits. Full details will be published before bookings open, and we won't launch without cover in place.

What about theft and bad drivers?

Every renter passes ID, licence and selfie verification plus fraud screening before they can book. Every vehicle carries GPS tracking. Deposits apply, both sides rate each other, and our pilot bookings are each manually approved by our team.

What does it cost?

Joining the waitlist and listing a vehicle are free. When you earn, LekkaShare keeps a commission on completed bookings — founding owners lock in a reduced rate. Renters pay the rental rate plus a small service fee, still targeting well below traditional car hire.

Can I rent a car to drive for Uber or Bolt?

No — e-hailing and delivery use isn't permitted on LekkaShare. It's a different risk and insurance class, and our priority is protecting owners' vehicles.

Which areas are first?

We're starting dense and local: Sea Point, Green Point, City Bowl, Gardens, Observatory, Claremont and Rondebosch, then growing outward as supply builds. Tell us your suburb on the waitlist form — it directly shapes where we open next.

I have a bakkie / 7-seater / something special. Should I list it?

Absolutely. Variety is exactly what traditional fleets can't offer. Bakkies, people carriers and interesting weekend cars are among the most requested vehicles.
