Where can I rent out my bakkie or truck to make money?

You can rent out your bakkie or truck by registering it on QikTruck. You keep the vehicle and drive it yourself; the platform sends paid delivery and moving trips in your area to your phone. Active bakkie owner-drivers earn R6 000 to R22 000 per month, and larger trucks earn more per trip.

How it works

• Register free with your vehicle details, licence and PDP.
• Get verified: background check and vehicle check.
• Trip offers arrive on your phone; accept the ones that suit you.
• Drive, deliver, and get paid out weekly. No fixed shifts.

Renting to one company vs joining a marketplace

Renting your truck to a single company gives one fixed cheque but usually requires handing over the vehicle, long contracts and their driver behind your wheel. A marketplace keeps the vehicle and the earnings in your hands: you choose your hours, your area, and you can stop any time.

Requirements are simple: a roadworthy vehicle, a valid licence for its class, a PDP, and a smartphone. Goods-in-transit cover for trips is handled per booking.
