The Story Behind Akire

After eight years of driving for major rideshare platforms and completing thousands of trips, we saw firsthand the challenges drivers face. From high platform fees to unfair revenue splits, it became clear that traditional rideshare companies were taking advantage of the very people who made their service possible. Motivated by this reality, we founded Akire to create a fairer, more driver-centric alternative.

Our mission is simple: to provide an ethical rideshare platform that values and supports drivers while delivering top-tier service to passengers. Every decision we make is based on our core belief that drivers deserve better. Akire is more than just a rideshare service—it’s a movement towards a more equitable future in transportation.
