Plentywaka And Autocheck Have Teamed Up To Make Vehicle Inspection And Maintenance Easier
As part of its ongoing efforts to revolutionise Nigeria's public transportation sector, Plentywaka, Nigeria's largest shared mobility platform and a Techstars-backed startup, has partnered with Autochek Africa to facilitate vehicle inspection, financing, and maintenance for its teeming number of vehicle partners.
This collaboration follows plans to expand the Plentywaka Dailywaka ride-sharing service to over a hundred new routes in a matter of days. The strategic relationship will make it easier for potential Plentywaka car partners to conduct hassle-free vehicle inspections and hire-purchase transactions in a short period of time.
Plentywaka has completed over 355,000 rides in the last 20 months and recently expanded its Dailywaka (In-city) service to include more vehicle options, such as minivans. This vehicle has been reintroduced to boost vehicle availability for its thronging number of riders, as well as to assist them in splitting fares and avoiding extortionate surge fees and first/last mile concerns for heroes (drivers).
Onyeka Akumah, Co-Founder and CEO of Plentywaka, stated of the cooperation, "Autocheck Africa was founded out of a need to disrupt an underutilised and unstructured business, just as Plentywaka." On Plentywaka, a partner or hero can now board their vehicle in just 30 minutes and even request vehicle financial aid. Our values align and we are excited about the ease and flexibility that this partnership presents for all our vehicle partners across Africa starting with Nigeria.”
“This partnership presents a huge opportunity to empower Plentywaka's vehicle partners through financing, as well as enables us, at Autochek, to continue to fulfil our mission to enhance African consumers' experience by creating a single marketplace for their automotive needs,” said Etop Ikpe, Founder and CEO of Autochek.
