The Old Way vs The New Way

Agency cover is expensive, opaque, and hard to audit.

Drivano combines local human support with a clear digital record of every assignment.

Traditional Agencies

  • Percentage-based agency margins
  • Sluggish manual booking process
  • Variable, unchecked driver quality
  • Total lack of compliance transparency

The Direct Model

  • Founder-supported local cover
  • Subscriptions for regular usage
  • Direct connection to verified drivers
  • B2B contracts, invoices & payment tracking
