The problem every driver knows

You can't earn
without fuel.
You can't buy fuel
without earnings.

Every SA e-hailing driver has been there. A slow weekend, unexpected car costs, or a late payout — and suddenly you're sitting at home while other drivers are making money.

With e-hailing platform commissions squeezing margins harder than ever, one empty tank can cost you an entire day of income. Fuelo breaks the cycle permanently.

Why Fuelo is different

Built for the road.
Not a desk.

🗺️

Any Garage in SA

Your Fuelo fuel voucher works at Sasol, Engen, BP, Shell, Caltex and 1,000+ participating SA fuel stations. Show your QR code to the attendant and fill up instantly.

Instant Approval

Request any amount from R200 upwards. The Fuelo operator reviews your profile and approves in under 60 seconds. Fuel voucher QR code sent to your WhatsApp on approval.

💳

Digital Fuel Voucher

A unique QR code sent to your phone on approval. Show it to the garage attendant — they scan it and your fuel is dispensed. No card. No PIN. No cash.

🔒

Fuel Stations Only

Your Fuelo voucher is fuel-only — it can only be redeemed at participating fuel stations. It cannot be used for cash, groceries, or anything else. Fuel credit. Nothing else.

🚗

Vehicle-Linked Accounts

Every account is linked to a specific plate number and VIN. One vehicle, one account — no fake registrations, no fraud. Your credit history is tied to your real identity.

🎁

Vehicle-Locked Accounts

Every card load expires automatically after 4 hours. If you don't fuel up, the load reverses and your credit is restored. No funds left floating.

Common questions

Everything you
need to know.

What garages can I use?
Any participating fuel station in South Africa. Sasol, Engen, BP, Shell, Caltex and 1,000+ stations nationwide. Show your QR code and fill up.
How do I repay?
On Tuesday when Uber, Bolt or inDriver pays you. The amount is your draw plus: an initiation fee (R60 for draws up to R500, R125 for draws up to R1,000), weekly interest at 1.25%, and a R15 service fee. All fees are shown clearly before you confirm. Fuelo is registered under the National Credit Act.
Do I need a bank account?
You need a way to make an EFT payment for repayment — a bank account, FNB eWallet, or similar. You don't need a credit record or a formal credit check to join Fuelo.
What happens if I don't repay?
Your account is suspended until the outstanding balance is cleared. Persistent non-payment results in permanent account closure and possible legal collection action. Fuelo is a credit product — repayment is required.
How is my credit limit set?
Your initial limit is R500. As you use Fuelo and repay consistently, your limit grows automatically — up to R2,000 for individual drivers. Fleet accounts have higher ceilings.
Is my information safe?
All data is stored securely on Firebase and protected under POPIA. Your licence images are encrypted at rest. Your vehicle details are used only to verify your identity and prevent fraud.
When does the app launch?
We're onboarding our founding batch of drivers now — city by city. Join the waitlist and we'll notify you when Fuelo launches in your area. Johannesburg is first.
Can my whole fleet join?
Yes. Fleet owners get a separate dashboard to manage all their drivers, set individual limits, and see consolidated billing. Contact us directly for fleet onboarding.

🎁 Referral Programme — How it works
Refer a fellow e-hailing driver and earn R150 fuel credit — but it only unlocks when these conditions are met:
1
Your referred driver must register and be approved using your referral code
2
They must complete 2 fuel draws and repay both on Tuesday
3
Only then does your R150 bonus unlock — applied to your next draw
⚠️ Maximum 2 referrals per driver. This cap is in place to prevent fraud. Quality referrals only — drivers who draw and repay earn you R150 each.
