Owning a car in Kenya is a ten-year relationship that quietly drains money, time and trust. There is no way to verify the work, and no record once it is done. UrDrive brings the transparency.

Three clear promises replace the guesswork.

  • Vetted mechanics

    Every mechanic is reviewed by the UrDrive team before their garage can take a single booking.

  • Clear, itemised estimates upfront

    Parts and labour are itemised before you book. Parts or repairs outside a standardised service may attract additional charges, and those only go ahead with your approval.

  • Vehicle history

    Each vehicle keeps its own service record, whichever garage or mechanic did the work.

Fixed price or estimate: you always know which.

Fixed priceStandardised services
Set services such as an engine oil and oil filter change have one price, shown before you book.
EstimateRepairs
What a repair costs depends on the vehicle’s condition, wear and tear, damage and the parts needed. You get an itemised estimate first. If extra costs turn up, they are sent to you for approval before anyone proceeds.

One booking, at a garage or at your door.

Point Check: see how your car was checked.

During the service, the mechanic works through a guided vehicle inspection on their phone: 64 points across 8 sections. Each point is marked, and the result is written to your vehicle's record, so the condition of the car is documented, not remembered.

Fleet Boss · for corporate fleets

Every vehicle. Every driver. One view.

Fleet Boss is how a corporate fleet manager runs fuel, drivers, safety, maintenance and vehicle records without chasing five different tools. Maintenance and records run on the UrDrive network today; the monitoring and control tools are in development.

Where we are, and where we are going.

  1. Available

    Driver app

    Add your cars, book a vetted mechanic or garage, see the estimate, follow the job and keep the record. Backed by a Vendor app and an Operations Console.

The operating system for conveniently owning a car.

In Kenya, a car is treated as a one-time purchase when it is really a ten-year relationship. Owning one is stressful: maintenance, repairs, records and support are scattered, short on trust, and run on phone calls and guesswork.

UrDrive makes those parts easy to manage in one place: vetted mechanics, clear itemised estimates, and a permanent service history attached to the vehicle itself.

Three apps, one connected experience.

  • Driver App

    Android

    For drivers

    Manage your vehicles and services: book, approve estimates, follow the job and keep the record.

  • Vendor App

    Android

    For garages and mechanics

    Manage bookings and service delivery: accept jobs, move them through each status, chat and get paid.

  • Operations Console

    Web, internal

    For the UrDrive team

    Coordinate and oversee the work: vet mechanics, run the catalogue and support bookings.

A booking made in the Driver App appears in the Vendor App, and the Operations Console keeps an eye on both. One job, one record, seen from three sides.

Tell us who you are. We will take it from there.

One form, three paths. Drivers get early access to the app, garages are walked through vetting, and fleets get a direct conversation about Fleet Boss.
