Not sure which track fits you?

Best for Fleet Driver

You want stable income, full employment benefits, a company vehicle, and a predictable schedule. Ideal if you have a valid PDP and a clean driving record.

Best for Agent Partner

You already own a reliable vehicle and want total flexibility — work when you want, earn per delivery. Great for side-hustlers, students, or semi-retired drivers.

Best for Pick-Up Point

You run a shop, café, or service counter with regular hours and some spare shelf space. No driving needed — customers come to you and you earn per parcel.

Why Drive With UrgentGo

We invest in our drivers because they are the backbone of our business. Here’s what you get as a fleet driver.

Company Vehicle Provided

No need to use your own car. We provide a well-maintained, branded fleet vehicle for every driver.

Stable Monthly Salary

Predictable income with a competitive base salary, not commission-only. Paid monthly via EFT.

Full Employment Benefits

Medical aid contribution, UIF, paid annual leave, and pension fund. You are an employee, not a contractor.

Job Security & Stability

Permanent positions with a growing company. No gig-economy uncertainty or fluctuating earnings.

Paid Training & Development

Comprehensive onboarding, defensive driving courses, and career advancement pathways.

Be Part of a Real Team

Work alongside 200+ professional drivers. Morning briefings, team culture, and management support.

Flexible & Independent

Drive Your Own Vehicle — Be Your Own Boss

Already have a reliable car, bakkie, or motorbike? Put it to work on your terms. Join as an Agent Partner and earn per delivery without giving up your freedom.

Total Flexibility

Work when you want, where you want. No fixed shifts. Accept or skip deliveries based on your schedule. Perfect for students, semi-retired drivers, or anyone wanting extra income.

Earn Per Delivery

You get paid per completed delivery plus distance bonuses. The more you deliver, the more you earn. Top agents consistently outperform during peak periods.

Simple App-Based Work

Accept jobs, navigate routes, scan parcels, and capture proof of delivery — all from your phone. No paperwork, no confusion.

Choose Your Area

Stick to the suburbs you know best. Prefer Sandton? Only take jobs there. Know Cape Town CBD like the back of your hand? Make it your territory.

Bi-Monthly Payouts

Get paid twice a month — on the 15th and 31st via EFT. Transparent earnings dashboard shows exactly what you've made.

Performance Bonuses

Consistent high ratings, peak-hour deliveries, and long-distance runs all earn bonus pay. Top performers get priority access to premium jobs.
