About Detour

Detour is a Sandton-based fintech that provides a financial layer for the transport, mobility and logistics sector. Its Detour Drive product gives e-hailing drivers, delivery couriers and fleet drivers tools to manage earnings, access advances and earn rewards.

Drivers can get fuel when they need it and access their earnings once earned. Detour also offers a subscribe-to-drive option for people without a car, lets owners list their vehicles and track their car's portfolio, and has a section for investors. Businesses can use the platform to support their driver networks.
