Top questions

How do I book a ride?

Download the NamCab app, set your pickup and destination, and choose a ride category. You will see a fare estimate before you confirm. Once a driver accepts, you can watch them arrive on the map — check the number plate matches before you get in.

Can I cancel a ride? Does it cost anything?

Yes — you can cancel at any point before the trip is completed, and NamCab does not currently charge any cancellation or no-show fees. If we ever introduce them, we will announce the fee schedule at least 14 days in advance. If you end a ride mid-trip, you pay for the distance travelled so far.

Refund & Cancellation Policy
How is my fare calculated?

Base fare + distance + time, with a minimum fare per category, all in Namibian Dollars and VAT-inclusive. The estimate is shown before you book, and the final fare can never exceed 120% of that estimate unless you change the destination or add stops.

Pricing & Fare Transparency Policy
How do I pay?

In cash, directly to your driver at the end of the trip — the app shows the exact amount, and the trip record is your receipt. Organisations can open a corporate account and get invoiced monthly. Card and wallet payments are on our roadmap.

How do I become a NamCab driver?

Apply in the driver app. You will need your national ID, driver’s licence, police clearance certificate, vehicle registration, insurance and a roadworthiness certificate, plus a quick selfie and verification video. Once everything is verified, you can start accepting trips.

Driver & Partner Terms
How much do drivers earn?

Drivers keep 75% of every on-demand fare — NamCab’s commission is 25%, published and stable. Transfer providers keep 93% of fixed-price transfers. Payouts run weekly, and every trip shows a full breakdown.
