1. Introduction
Welcome to GoSupa Ride, a digital mobility service operated by PrepEez Tech Ltd (“GoSupa”, “we”, “us” or “our”).
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern access to and use of GoSupa Ride by passengers, drivers, riders, vehicle owners, fleet operators and other authorised users.
By registering for, accessing or using GoSupa Ride, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agreed to these Terms and the GoSupa Privacy Statement.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not use GoSupa Ride.
What GoSupa Ride Does
GoSupa Ride provides a technology platform that may enable users to:
- request transportation;
- receive transportation requests;
- connect passengers with eligible drivers or riders;
- obtain estimated fares;
- communicate in connection with a trip;
- make or receive payments;
- view trip information;
- use navigation and location functionality;
- access driver, rider and passenger safety tools;
- access eligible GoSupa subscription benefits;
- receive telecommunications, data or other bundled benefits where offered;
- access eligible insurance or protection products where expressly included; and
- access other GoSupa services introduced from time to time.
GoSupa may operate the technology platform itself and may use approved payment, telecommunications, insurance, mapping, identity-verification and other service partners.
GoSupa Is a Subscription-Based Ride-Hailing Platform
This is a fundamental commercial term of GoSupa Ride.
GoSupa Ride is principally monetised through driver/rider subscription packages rather than through the conventional percentage commission charged on individual trips.
A participating driver or rider pays the applicable GoSupa subscription charge for access to the relevant GoSupa services and benefits.
Except for separately disclosed amounts such as payment-processing charges, statutory deductions, taxes, refunds, insurance charges or other authorised charges:
For illustration only: If a passenger pays GHS 50 (or the equivalent in local currency) for a completed ride, GoSupa does not automatically take 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% or another percentage of that fare as a ride commission. The driver's GoSupa platform charge is instead based on the applicable subscription package.
No Commission Sharing
There is no commission-sharing arrangement between GoSupa and a Driver based on the value of individual trips unless GoSupa and that Driver or fleet have entered into a separate written commercial agreement expressly providing otherwise.
The standard GoSupa Ride model is:
- 01Subscribe
- 02Go Online
- 03Receive Trips
- 04Complete Trips
- 05Keep Ride Earnings
GoSupa's subscription fee is not a percentage commission on passenger fares.
Driver Subscription
Drivers and riders may be required to maintain an active GoSupa subscription before receiving ride requests.
GoSupa may establish packages for categories including:
- motorcycles/bikes;
- tricycles;
- taxis/cabs;
- private-hire cars;
- delivery vehicles;
- fleet vehicles; and
- other approved mobility categories.
The applicable subscription price, duration and included benefits will be displayed before purchase or renewal.

Depending upon the package selected, benefits may include:
- access to passenger requests;
- GoSupa Ride platform access;
- GoSupa Services access;
- telecommunications minutes;

- other GoSupa benefits.
Benefits may vary by vehicle category, package, telecommunications network, insurer, location and promotional period.
Subscription Payment and Renewal
Where a Driver selects automatic renewal, the Driver authorises GoSupa or its approved payment provider to collect the applicable subscription charge from the designated wallet or payment method.
Where there are insufficient funds, GoSupa may retry the authorised subscription payment.
If the subscription expires, access to new ride requests or associated subscription benefits may be restricted until renewal.
Expiration of a subscription does not transfer previously earned ride income to GoSupa.
Changes to Subscription Prices
GoSupa may revise subscription prices, packages or included benefits.
Where a material change affects an existing recurring subscription, reasonable notice will be provided through the App, SMS, email or another appropriate communication channel before the new charge applies, subject to applicable law.
Driver Requirements
A Driver must satisfy all applicable legal and regulatory requirements for the relevant category of transportation.
Depending on the vehicle and service, GoSupa may require:
- valid identification;
- national identity card or other acceptable identification recognised in the Country of Operation;
- valid driver's or commercial rider's licence;
- appropriate licence class;

- any additional document required by law or a competent authority.
Drivers are responsible for keeping these documents valid and current. GoSupa may periodically re-verify them.
Motorcycles and Tricycles
Where a Driver operates a motorcycle, tricycle or quadricycle for fare-paying passenger services, the Driver must satisfy all applicable licensing, registration, roadworthiness, safety and operational requirements.
No GoSupa subscription authorises a person to operate contrary to the laws of the Country of Operation.
The road traffic laws and regulations of the Country of Operation may include specific requirements concerning commercial motorcycle, tricycle and quadricycle operations.
Vehicle Condition
Drivers must ensure that their vehicles are:
- legally registered;
- roadworthy;
- appropriately insured;
- reasonably clean;
- mechanically safe;
- equipped as required by law;
- maintained according to applicable standards; and
- suitable for the service category selected.
The relevant vehicle licensing authority in the Country of Operation may require vehicle examination and verification for roadworthiness certification.
GoSupa may suspend a vehicle where there are reasonable grounds to believe it is unsafe or non-compliant.
Passenger Account
Passengers must provide accurate account information and maintain the security of their account.
- impersonate another person;
- create fraudulent accounts;
- use stolen payment credentials;
- threaten or assault a Driver;

The App may display:
- estimated pickup time;
- estimated fare or applicable pricing;
- Driver name;
- Driver photograph;
- vehicle type;
- registration information;
- Driver rating;
- approximate location; and
- other safety or trip information.

- pickup and destination;
- traffic;
- waiting time;
- tolls;
- applicable taxes;
- promotional discounts; and
- other disclosed pricing factors.
Where practicable, the Passenger will be shown an estimated or applicable price before confirming a ride.

- statutory deductions;
- payment-processing charges;
- refunds;
- chargebacks;
- taxes;
- toll adjustments;
- authorised insurance charges; or
- other applicable adjustments.
GoSupa's standard Driver subscription is not calculated as a percentage of the fare.

- Mobile Money;
- GoSupa wallet or supported wallet;
- debit or credit cards;
- bank payment;
- Pay4Me;
- approved digital payment partners;

- other authorised payment methods.
Payment processing may be provided by third-party financial institutions or payment service providers.
Pay4Me
Where enabled, another person may pay for a Passenger's trip through GoSupa Pay4Me.
The person paying may receive sufficient transaction information to identify and approve the requested payment.
The person paying for a ride does not automatically obtain access to unrelated private information concerning the Passenger.
Cancellations
GoSupa may apply a disclosed cancellation or no-show charge where a Passenger cancels after a Driver has materially committed time or resources to the request.
Any applicable cancellation charge should be displayed or otherwise communicated through the platform.
Drivers may also cancel rides for legitimate safety, passenger conduct, vehicle or operational reasons.
Repeated abusive cancellations may result in account restrictions.
Driver Responsibilities
Drivers must:
- comply with road traffic laws;
- drive safely;
- comply with speed limits;
- refrain from dangerous or reckless driving;
- not operate while impaired by alcohol or drugs;
- treat passengers respectfully;
- avoid harassment and discrimination prohibited by law;
- protect passenger privacy;
- not intentionally overcharge;
- follow applicable safety requirements;
- maintain legally required insurance;
- report serious accidents through the appropriate channels; and
- cooperate with lawful investigations.
Zero Tolerance for Serious Misconduct
GoSupa may immediately restrict or suspend an account where reasonably necessary to address allegations involving:
- sexual assault;
- physical assault;
- robbery;
- kidnapping;
- human trafficking;
- dangerous driving;
- fraudulent identity;
- falsified vehicle documentation;
- deliberate fare fraud;
- use of the platform for criminal activity; or
- credible threats to public safety.
Suspension during an investigation does not itself constitute a finding that the allegation is true.
Passenger Responsibilities
Passengers must:
- treat Drivers respectfully;
- use appropriate pickup locations;
- wear seat belts where provided and required;
- use required protective equipment for applicable motorcycle services;
- not interfere with safe driving;

Safety Features
GoSupa may provide features such as:

- OTP trip verification;
- trip sharing;
- emergency contacts;
- GPS trip records;
- vehicle identification;
- Driver ratings;
- Passenger ratings;
- incident reporting;
- support channels; and
- other safety technologies.
These features supplement rather than replace personal judgment, emergency services and regulatory authorities.
Emergencies
Where there is an immediate threat to life or safety, users should contact the appropriate emergency or law-enforcement service. GoSupa support should not be treated as a replacement for police, ambulance, fire or other emergency services.
Vehicle Insurance
Drivers are responsible for maintaining all insurance required by law for their vehicle and its commercial use.
Where GoSupa includes additional insurance or protection in a subscription package, that benefit is separate from the Driver's underlying legal obligation to maintain required motor insurance.
Optional GoSupa Protection Benefits
Some GoSupa Ride subscriptions may include or facilitate insurance/protection benefits from an authorised insurer.
Where provided:
- the insurer remains responsible for underwriting;
- eligibility is subject to the insurer's rules;
- coverage limits apply;
- exclusions may apply;
- claims must satisfy the policy conditions; and
- payment of a GoSupa subscription does not guarantee approval of an insurance claim.
The relevant policy wording or benefit summary should be made available to the subscriber.
Ratings
Drivers and Passengers may be permitted to rate one another.
Users must not use ratings or reviews for harassment, extortion, discrimination or knowingly false accusations.
GoSupa may investigate patterns indicating manipulation or abuse.
Driver Status
Unless a separate written arrangement or applicable law provides otherwise, Drivers use GoSupa as independent providers of transportation services.
Payment of a subscription does not, by itself, create:
- an employment relationship;
- partnership;
- joint venture;
- agency relationship; or
- fare-commission relationship.
Nothing in these Terms overrides any status or rights that applicable law independently confers.
Driver Control
Subject to platform rules, subscription conditions and applicable law, Drivers generally determine when they wish to make themselves available on GoSupa.
GoSupa does not guarantee any minimum number of trips, passengers, earnings or hours of work.
Data and Airtime
Some subscriptions may include mobile data, airtime or telecommunications benefits.
Such benefits may depend upon:
- participating telecommunications networks;
- eligible SIM registration;
- network coverage;
- package validity;
- technical availability; and
- partner terms.
GoSupa does not guarantee uninterrupted telecommunications service where the underlying service is controlled by a telecommunications provider.
Promotions
GoSupa may offer:
- ride discounts;
- subscription discounts;
- loyalty rewards;
- referral benefits;
- shopping discounts;
- data gifts;
- sponsored rides;
- vouchers; or
- promotional credits.
Promotions may have separate eligibility, expiry and usage conditions.
Promotional value may not be redeemable for cash unless expressly stated.
User Responsibility
Users are responsible for protecting:
- passwords;
- OTPs;
- PINs;
- devices;
- wallet credentials; and
- account access.
Users should immediately report suspected unauthorised account use.
GoSupa will never require a user to disclose a password to another Driver or Passenger.
Fraudulent Activity
- fake rides;
- GPS manipulation;
- collusive trip creation;
- fake referrals;
- account sharing intended to bypass verification;
- falsified identity documents;
- false insurance documents;
- payment fraud;
- promotion abuse;
- intentional chargeback abuse; and
- manipulating the platform to obtain benefits dishonestly.
GoSupa may withhold improperly obtained promotional benefits and take proportionate action against affected accounts, subject to applicable law.
Account Restrictions
GoSupa may temporarily restrict, suspend or terminate access where reasonably justified by:
- serious safety concerns;
- fraud;
- invalid licence;
- expired roadworthiness;
- invalid insurance;
- identity concerns;
- repeated non-payment of subscriptions;
- serious breach of these Terms;
- regulatory instruction;
- unlawful conduct; or
- material risk to users or the platform.
Where appropriate and lawful, users may be given information about the reason and an opportunity to request review.
User Termination
A user may stop using GoSupa at any time and may request account closure, subject to outstanding transactions, disputes, legal retention requirements and other lawful obligations.
GoSupa Property
GoSupa's software, trademarks, designs, databases, branding, interfaces and other intellectual property remain the property of PrepEez Tech Ltd or its licensors.
Users receive only the limited right to use the service in accordance with these Terms.
Service Interruptions
GoSupa aims to maintain reliable service but cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability.
Service may be affected by:
- telecommunications outages;
- internet disruption;
- GPS failures;
- maintenance;
- payment-system failures;
- third-party service interruptions;
- emergencies;
- government action; or
- events beyond reasonable control.
Responsibility for Transportation
Drivers are responsible for safely operating their vehicles and complying with applicable transport laws.
GoSupa remains responsible for obligations imposed on it by applicable law as the operator/provider of the technology service.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, GoSupa will not be responsible for indirect, incidental or consequential losses arising solely from matters outside its reasonable control.
This limitation does not apply where liability cannot legally be excluded or limited.
User Responsibility for Breach
To the extent permitted by law, a user may be responsible for losses reasonably arising from that user's unlawful conduct, fraud, deliberate misuse of the platform or material breach of these Terms.
Nothing in this section removes statutory consumer or other rights.
Digital Acceptance
Users may accept these Terms electronically by selecting an acceptance box, pressing an acceptance button, registering for the service or otherwise providing legally valid electronic acceptance.
The electronic transactions laws of the Country of Operation may provide a framework for electronic records, automated transactions and the formation and validity of agreements electronically.
GoSupa may retain an electronic record of the version accepted and the time and account associated with acceptance.
GoSupa Subscription Model
GoSupa Ride operates primarily as a subscription-based digital mobility platform.
Drivers and other mobility service providers may be required to maintain an active GoSupa subscription to receive ride requests and access specified platform services.
GoSupa does not operate a percentage commission-sharing model with Drivers for completed rides.
Instead, the Driver pays the applicable daily subscription fee associated with the Driver's vehicle or service category.
The applicable subscription price shall be displayed within the GoSupa platform before activation, purchase or renewal.
No Commission on Driver Ride Earnings
Unless a separate service is expressly identified and accepted by the Driver, GoSupa shall not deduct a percentage of the Driver's passenger fare as GoSupa's ride-hailing commission.
Accordingly:
subject to any separately disclosed:
- a. statutory taxes or levies;
- b. payment-processing charges;
- c. refunds or reversals;
- d. insurance or protection charges included in a selected package;
- e. legally required deductions; or
- f. other charges specifically disclosed and accepted by the Driver.
The GoSupa daily subscription is separate from the fare charged for an individual trip.
Driver Subscription Categories
GoSupa may establish different subscription packages according to vehicle and service category, including:
- Bike / Motorcycle
- Tricycle
- Cab / Car
- Delivery vehicles
- Logistics vehicles
- Other mobility categories introduced by GoSupa
Each package may have different subscription prices, benefits, insurance or protection components, telecommunications benefits and eligibility requirements.
The applicable package and price shall be shown to the Driver before subscription.
Subscription Benefits
Depending upon the package selected, a GoSupa Ride subscription may provide access to some or all of the following:
- GoSupa Ride customer requests;
- GoSupa Services;
- driver dashboard and digital operating tools;
- navigation and location services;
- customer communication facilities;
- payment services;
- data or telecommunications benefits;
- driver or rider protection benefits;
- insurance benefits where applicable;
- emergency and safety features;
- promotional opportunities;
- GoSupa Marketplace opportunities;
- delivery and logistics opportunities;
- loyalty benefits;
- training;
- financial-service opportunities where separately eligible;
- customer-support services; and
- additional GoSupa ecosystem services.
Benefits may vary according to subscription package, location, vehicle category, telecommunications provider and participating third-party service provider.
Subscription Is Not a Share of Fares
The Driver acknowledges that the GoSupa subscription is a charge for access to GoSupa's platform and associated services.
It is not a percentage share of passenger fares.
For illustration only: Where a passenger fare is GHS 100 (or the equivalent in local currency), GoSupa does not automatically take 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% or another percentage of that fare as its ride-hailing commission.
The Driver remains responsible for paying the applicable GoSupa subscription independently of the value or number of rides completed during the subscription period.
Subscription Payment
Subscription payments may be collected through payment methods supported by GoSupa, including:
- mobile money;
- GoSupa wallet or payment services;
- bank account;
- debit or credit card;
- authorised payment partners; or
- other approved payment channels.
The Driver authorises GoSupa and its authorised payment partners to process subscription payments initiated or authorised through the platform.
Daily Subscription and Renewal
Where a Driver selects a daily subscription, access to applicable GoSupa Ride services shall generally remain active for the subscription period specified on the platform.
Where the Driver has expressly activated automatic renewal, GoSupa may attempt to renew the subscription using the Driver's designated payment method.
The Driver may cancel automatic renewal in accordance with the cancellation options provided through the platform, subject to any subscription already activated.
GoSupa shall clearly display applicable subscription charges before the Driver confirms a purchase or recurring payment mandate.
Failed Subscription Payment
Where a subscription payment cannot be successfully processed, GoSupa may:
- a. notify the Driver;
- b. request another payment method;
- c. suspend access to new ride requests;
- d. restrict subscription benefits; or
- e. restore access after successful payment.
Failure to renew a subscription does not, by itself, transfer ownership of previously earned ride income to GoSupa.
Passenger Fares
GoSupa may provide technology for calculating, recommending, displaying or facilitating passenger fares.
Fare calculations may consider factors including:
- distance;
- estimated journey time;
- vehicle category;
- location;
- traffic conditions;
- demand;
- waiting time;
- tolls;
- authorised surcharges; and
- applicable promotions.
The estimated fare shall, where practicable, be displayed before a passenger confirms a ride.
Any material difference between an estimated and final fare should be identifiable through the platform where the final amount can reasonably be calculated.
Cash and Electronic Payments
GoSupa may permit rides to be paid by cash, electronic payment or other approved methods.
Where a passenger pays the Driver directly in cash, the Driver is responsible for confirming receipt.
Where payment is processed electronically through GoSupa or an authorised payment partner, the funds may pass through regulated payment infrastructure before settlement.
The use of a payment facility does not convert GoSupa's subscription model into a percentage commission arrangement.
Electronic Settlement
Where GoSupa facilitates electronic collection of passenger fares, the Driver authorises the processing and settlement of the relevant transaction.
Settlement may be subject to:
- payment network processing times;
- mobile money processing;
- bank processing;
- fraud screening;
- transaction reversals;
- regulatory requirements;
- legally required deductions; and
- separately disclosed payment-processing charges.
GoSupa shall maintain appropriate transaction records for payments processed through its systems.
Tips
Where tipping is available, a passenger may voluntarily provide a tip to the Driver.
GoSupa shall not treat a voluntary passenger tip as part of GoSupa's daily subscription revenue.
Any applicable payment-processing or statutory treatment shall be disclosed or applied as required.
Promotions and Passenger Discounts
GoSupa may offer passenger discounts, promotional fares, loyalty rewards, sponsored rides, coupons or other incentives.
Where GoSupa funds a promotion, the platform shall determine how the promotion is applied without converting the Driver's relationship with GoSupa into a percentage commission arrangement.
Where a promotion affects the amount payable to the Driver, the applicable conditions shall be disclosed to the Driver before participation where reasonably practicable.
Cancellation and No-Show Charges
GoSupa may establish reasonable cancellation or no-show charges where a Driver has accepted and travelled toward a passenger pickup point but the passenger subsequently cancels or fails to appear.
The applicable charge and circumstances shall be displayed through the platform.
GoSupa may change cancellation policies to address abuse, operational costs, safety or service quality.
Tolls and Additional Trip Costs
Where a journey requires payment of an authorised road toll, parking charge or other unavoidable trip-specific charge, the platform may include or separately identify that amount.
Drivers must not impose undisclosed or unauthorised charges on passengers.
Driver Pricing Conduct
- manipulate the GoSupa platform to artificially increase a fare;
- deliberately extend a journey without reasonable justification;
- demand unauthorised additional payments;
- misrepresent tolls or other trip expenses;
- collude with passengers or other Drivers to manipulate fares, promotions or incentives;
- create false trips;
- process fraudulent transactions; or
- use another person's Driver account to receive payments.
Such conduct may result in investigation, temporary restriction, suspension or termination.
Passenger Payment Obligations
Passengers are responsible for paying legitimate charges associated with rides they request and complete.
- deliberately avoid payment;
- reverse legitimate transactions fraudulently;
- misuse promotions;
- create fraudulent accounts;
- collude with Drivers to create fictitious rides; or
- otherwise manipulate the payment system.
GoSupa may restrict or suspend accounts reasonably suspected of fraudulent payment activity while the matter is investigated.
Taxes
Drivers remain responsible for understanding and complying with tax obligations that legally apply to income earned from their transportation activities.
GoSupa may collect, report, withhold or remit amounts where required by applicable law.
Nothing in these Terms constitutes individual tax advice.
Transaction Records
GoSupa may maintain electronic records relating to:
- subscriptions;
- rides;
- passenger fares;
- electronic payments;
- refunds;
- promotions;
- payment disputes;
- Driver settlements; and
- other platform transactions.
Such records may be used for accounting, reconciliation, customer support, fraud prevention, regulatory compliance and dispute resolution, subject to GoSupa's Privacy Statement and applicable law.
Payment Disputes
A Driver or passenger who believes that a fare, subscription payment, settlement, refund or other transaction is incorrect should report the matter through the designated GoSupa support channel.
GoSupa may investigate the transaction using available platform records.
Where a bank, mobile money operator, payment service provider or other third party controls part of the transaction, resolution may also be subject to that provider's procedures and applicable law.
Refunds
Subscription fees that have already activated access to GoSupa services may be non-refundable except where:
- a. required by applicable law;
- b. the payment was duplicated;
- c. the payment resulted from a verified technical error;
- d. the service could not be provided due to a GoSupa system failure; or
- e. GoSupa otherwise approves a refund.
Refund eligibility may depend on the particular subscription or service involved.
Insurance or Protection Component
Where a GoSupa Ride package includes an insurance or protection component, the relevant portion of the subscription may be allocated to the participating insurer or protection provider.
Insurance coverage is provided under the policy or product terms issued or approved by the relevant insurer and not merely by virtue of these GoSupa Terms.
Eligibility, exclusions, limits, waiting periods, claims requirements and benefits shall be governed by the applicable insurance or protection documentation.
GoSupa shall not represent a benefit as insurance unless it is provided in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.
Driver Earnings Dashboard
Where available, GoSupa may provide Drivers with a dashboard displaying information such as:
and other relevant transaction information.
The dashboard is intended to provide Drivers with greater visibility over their GoSupa activity.
Core GoSupa Ride Commercial Principle
The commercial principle governing the Driver platform relationship is:
A Driver pays the applicable GoSupa subscription for access to the GoSupa Ride platform and included services.
GoSupa does not take a percentage commission from every ride merely because the ride was obtained through GoSupa.
This principle does not prevent GoSupa or third-party providers from charging separately disclosed fees for optional or additional services, payment processing, insurance, telecommunications, financing or other products where the Driver has been informed of and, where required, agreed to those charges.
Regulatory Compliance
The operation of GoSupa Ride, participating Drivers and vehicles remains subject to the applicable laws, regulations, licensing requirements and directives issued by competent authorities in the Country of Operation.
Drivers are responsible for maintaining the licences, permits, vehicle documentation, insurance, roadworthiness and other approvals legally required for the transportation service and vehicle category they operate.
Where applicable, GoSupa may request, verify, retain or periodically revalidate such documentation as a condition of access to the platform.
GoSupa may modify operational requirements where reasonably necessary to comply with changes in applicable law or regulatory requirements.
Passenger Terms and Conditions

Passengers must provide accurate information.
OTP and Account Security
GoSupa may verify a Passenger using an OTP, device authentication, PIN or another security method.
Passengers must not knowingly allow unauthorised persons to use their accounts.
A Passenger should immediately report suspected unauthorised access.
One Person, One Identity
Passengers must not create accounts for fraudulent, abusive or deceptive purposes.
GoSupa may restrict duplicate or suspicious accounts where reasonably necessary for security or fraud prevention.
Ride Request
A Passenger may enter or select:
- 01Pickup Location
- 02Destination

Where appropriate, the Passenger may receive information including:
- Driver's first name or displayed identity;
- photograph;
- vehicle type;
- vehicle registration number;
- rating or service information;
- estimated arrival time; and
- other safety information.
Passengers should, where practicable, verify the vehicle and Driver information displayed in the app before entering the vehicle.
Pickup Location
Passengers should provide a reasonably accurate and lawful pickup point.
Passengers should not deliberately request pickup from a location where stopping or boarding would create an unreasonable safety risk or breach applicable traffic rules.
Destination Changes
A Passenger may request a destination change where the platform permits it.
A destination change may affect:
- distance;
- journey time;
- final fare;
- tolls; and
- other trip-related charges.
The Driver is not required to undertake an unlawful or objectively unsafe route.
Fare Display
GoSupa may provide an estimated or calculated fare before a ride is confirmed.

- vehicle category;
- waiting time;
- traffic conditions;
- applicable tolls;

Driver Subscription Model
GoSupa Ride operates a subscription-based Driver platform.
GoSupa does not ordinarily take a percentage commission from a Driver's fare merely because a ride was obtained through GoSupa.
Drivers instead pay the applicable GoSupa subscription for access to the platform and included services.
This commercial arrangement does not change the Passenger's obligation to pay the applicable fare for a completed journey.
Pay4Me
Where available, a Passenger may request another person to pay for a journey through GoSupa Pay4Me.
The paying person must authorise the transaction before the payment is treated as confirmed.
A Pay4Me transaction may be subject to separate payment terms.
Promotions and Discounts
GoSupa may provide:
- discount codes;
- sponsored rides;
- loyalty rewards;
- shopping benefits;
- subscription-linked benefits;
- institutional benefits; or
- other promotional offers.
Each promotion may have separate eligibility requirements, validity periods and conditions.
Tips
Passengers may voluntarily tip Drivers where the service is available.
A tip is voluntary and must not be demanded as a condition for completing a ride.
Passenger Cancellation
A Passenger may cancel a ride before completion.
A cancellation charge may apply where, for example:
- a Driver has already travelled substantially toward the pickup point;
- the Passenger cancels after an applicable grace period; or
- repeated cancellations constitute misuse.
Any applicable cancellation charge should be displayed or otherwise communicated through the platform.
Driver Cancellation
A Driver may cancel for reasonable circumstances including:
- safety concerns;
- inability to locate the Passenger;
- unlawful requests;
- vehicle problems;
- emergencies; or
- other legitimate operational reasons.
GoSupa may review repeated Driver cancellations.
Passenger No-Show
Where a Driver reaches the pickup location and the Passenger does not arrive within the applicable waiting period, the Driver may cancel the request.
A disclosed no-show or waiting charge may apply.
Safety First
Passengers must cooperate with reasonable safety requirements.
- speed;
- ignore traffic signals;
- drive dangerously;
- overload the vehicle;
- use an unlawful route;
- carry prohibited goods; or
- otherwise breach applicable road-safety requirements.
