inDrive Opens 11 Vehicle Inspection Centres Across Lagos
Ride-hailing company, inDrive, has established 11 vehicle inspection centres across Lagos State as part of efforts to improve road safety, strengthen service quality and enhance passengers’ experience.
The initiative is aimed at ensuring that vehicles operating on the platform meet required standards of safety, technical condition, comfort and cleanliness.
Under the programme, vehicles will undergo comprehensive inspections conducted by licensed partners, covering areas such as exterior damage, mechanical condition, interior quality and general cleanliness.
The company said drivers seeking to join the relevant service categories must successfully pass the inspection before being onboarded onto the platform.
Existing driver-partners will also be invited to the inspection centres in phases to ensure their vehicles comply with the required standards.
Speaking on the initiative, inDrive Nigeria Country Manager, Timothy Oladimeji, said the programme reflects the company’s commitment to delivering quality mobility services and raising operational standards across its Nigerian operations.
He explained that the condition, cleanliness and comfort of vehicles were essential components of passengers’ overall ride experience, beyond simply transporting them to their destinations.
According to him, the inspection centres will promote improved vehicle standards while encouraging stronger collaboration between the company and its driver-partners in maintaining service quality.
Oladimeji added that the initiative would give passengers greater confidence in the safety and quality of rides booked through the platform.
He further noted that the establishment of the 11 centres forms part of inDrive’s broader efforts to improve service delivery, complementing its driver courtesy training and enhanced safety features for users.
The company said the initiative underscores its commitment to building trust, promoting safer mobility and responding to the changing expectations of passengers within Nigeria’s ride-hailing sector.
