E-hailing Rent-to-Own: Turning A Job Into A Business

Entrepreneurs and individuals who aspire to increase their income potential. The opportunity to own a car while driving for Bolt offers a great transformation in the e-hailing business landscape. The rent-to-own system that companies such as Bolt have undertaken is an exciting business model that allows drivers to obtain ownership while also generating income through ride-hailing.

Here is how you can spark your entrepreneurial journey with this amazing e-hailing rent-to-own opportunity.

Ride Your Way to Vehicle Ownership

The interesting aspect of collaborations such as the partnership between Bolt and MyNextCar is the possibility of a rent-to-own model. This scheme makes it easier to become an owner of a car, allowing you to start earning as a Bolt driver while working towards owning a brand-new car. With the easy-to-manage plan, you can drive a luxurious car without the upfront financial burden of a traditional purchase.

Other ride-hailing companies such as Uber also have their own partnerships where drivers can potentially own a vehicle.

How the Youth Accelerator Program Is Involved

Partnering with the Department of Economic Development of Gauteng, Bolt and MyNextCar are proud to present the “Youth Accelerator Programme.” The initiative aims to offer South Africans access to vehicles and financing opportunities. It is an exciting opportunity for youth entrepreneurs who want to be self-employed and generate an income through ride-hailing.
