General Questions

What exactly is Famba?

Famba is an on-demand driver service. We provide a professional driver to drive you in the comfort and safety of your own vehicle, followed by a support vehicle to ensure a seamless transition and security throughout the journey.

How is this different from a standard e-hailing service?

Unlike standard services where you ride in a stranger's car, Famba allows you to stay in your own vehicle. This is ideal for car owners who want to enjoy their own interior, sound system, and privacy while being driven by a professional.

Where do you currently operate?

During our pilot phase, we focus on the Johannesburg North hub, specifically servicing a 5km–15km radius around Sandton, Rosebank, and Bryanston.

Vehicle-related

How do I know my car is in safe hands?

Every Famba Driver undergoes a rigorous vetting process, including criminal background checks and advanced driving assessments. Additionally, our drivers perform a Visual Condition Scan of your vehicle via our app before the trip begins to document its status for your peace of mind.

What happens if a Famba driver is at fault in an accident?

If you have opted into our Accident-Waiver (R30), Famba takes legal responsibility for third-party claims and damages up to R1,000,000. While your primary vehicle insurance handles the car repairs, our policy through iTOO SureThing acts as a shield against third-party legal liability and recovery claims.

What is the role of the Support Vehicle?

The support vehicle follows your car for the entire duration of the trip. Its role is two-fold: it provides perimeter security for the driver and client, and it serves as the logistics hub to pick up the driver once your trip is completed, so they never have to linger at your destination.

Pricing & Booking

How do you calculate your rates?

Our pricing is transparent and calculated using a base fee plus a per-kilometer rate. You can use our Booking Price Estimator on the homepage to get an instant quote before you request access.

How do I book a ride?

Famba is currently in an exclusive pilot phase. To use the service, you must first Request Access via our website. Once verified, you will receive a private link to book your professional driver instantly.

Why is there a distance limit of 5km–15km?

To maintain our 20-minute arrival promise, we keep our fleet concentrated within high-demand hubs. This ensures that a driver and escort are always nearby when you need them.

Hyper-Local. Hyper-Efficient.

Our drivers travel shorter distances to reach you. We pass these savings directly to you. Being in your neighbourhood means a Famba Driver is always a few minutes away.
