All drivers complete identity verification, vehicle inspection, and background screening before platform activation.

Live GPS Tracking

Passengers track their assigned driver in real time. Vehicle registration and driver name displayed at booking.

In-App SOS

About Us

Built for Basotho,
by Basotho

Pick Me Up Lesotho was established in 2022 with a singular objective: to deliver the transport service that Basotho deserve — safe, reliable, fairly priced, and powered by technology.

In a market where global platforms like Uber and Bolt are absent, Pick Me Up created — and now leads — an entirely new category of transport service.
