Launch ride-hailing
in your market

A taxi franchise lets a local company run a ride-hailing business using an established platform’s technology and operating model. In the Yango taxi franchise, the partner builds the business in its market, and Yango provides the rider app, driver app, fleet platform, pricing and maps technology, and launch support.

The partner owns and runs the local business: it works with regulators, onboards taxi fleets and drivers, runs local marketing and manages payments. Yango provides the technology platform, driver matching and pricing, maps and geodata, and the methodology for launching and growing the market.

Both run on the same Yango rider app, driver app and fleet platform. A franchise operates under the Yango brand and follows Yango brand guidelines. A white-label platform operates under the partner’s own brand, name, logo and colours.

Taxi app software gives you an app to run yourself. Yango provides a platform it keeps running: store publishing, releases, bug fixes and security patches, plus matching, pricing and anti-fraud technology and a team that supports the launch and growth of the market.

Launch runs from the partnership agreement to the first rides in six stages. Market setup, product setup, driver onboarding and launch marketing run in parallel, so the first city can go live within 3–4 months of signing. (Confirm the timeline.)

The investment depends on the size of the market and the number of cities in the launch plan. Commercial terms are agreed with each partner.

The franchise and white-label models are offered in countries where Yango does not operate its own ride-hailing service. Current priorities are markets in Africa and Southeast Asia.

Local taxi operators, taxi fleets, dispatch companies and mobility or transport groups with capital to fund a launch, access to drivers and fleets, the ability to secure licences, and a local operations team.
