New Ride-Hailing App Cruz Launches With 10% Discount and a Driver-First Model

A new ride-hailing platform has entered Nigeria’s mobility space, and it is launching with something most existing players do not offer: a 10% discount for riders and a flexible earnings model for drivers.
Meet Cruz
The platform is now live with structured ride categories, transparent pricing, and an automatic 10% discount for every new user. Cruz also offers executive rentals in Benin, Warri, Asaba, Abuja, Lagos, and Port Harcourt.
For Everyone, Not Just One Type of Rider
Whether you are a student heading to class, a worker going to the office, or a government official attending a meeting, you deserve a ride you can trust.
Existing platforms often treat different riders the same way. Cruz is doing the opposite.
“Your trip matters. Your time matters. You should not have to guess what you are booking.”
For Riders: 10% Off and Clear Categories
Every new user gets 10% off their first ride. No code required.
Ride categories are simple:
Essential is for students, daily commuters, and budget-conscious riders. It is the affordable option for getting around without the frills.
Premium is for workers and professionals who want regular trips with added comfort. It bridges the gap between budget and luxury.
Executive is for government officials, business travel, and special occasions. It is the option for when the trip matters as much as the destination.
Beyond the discount, riders can earn referral rewards by inviting others. The more you share, the more you earn.
Real-time tracking and a clean booking interface complete the experience.
Executive Rentals in Six Cities
For riders who need more than a standard trip, Cruz offers executive rentals in Benin, Warri, Asaba, Abuja, Lagos, and Port Harcourt.
These are premium vehicles for airport transfers, business meetings, corporate events, and special occasions. Book by the hour or by the trip.
For Drivers: Choose How You Earn
Where Cruz is taking a notably different path is on the driver’s side.
Drivers can choose between two earning models:
The commission-based model is flexible and low-risk. It is the standard approach across most platforms.
The weekly subscription is a flat fee that lets drivers keep more of their earnings. This option is rare in Nigeria. Most platforms take a percentage of every fare. Cruz gives drivers a choice.
There are also referral bonuses for bringing new drivers onto the platform.
“When drivers win, riders win. Better incentives mean better availability. That is not just a tagline. It is how we built the economy.”
The Bottom Line
Cruz enters competitive markets. But competitive does not mean saturated.
Students, workers, and government officials now have a new option. One that offers 10% off, clear ride categories, executive rentals, and a driver model built for fairness.
