About us

A safer, women-first way to move

Hailio is a women-first ride-hailing and courier platform built in South Africa, because the standard ride-hailing model was never designed with women's safety at its core. On Hailio, every driver and courier is a woman, and every account — rider, driver or courier — is manually reviewed by our team before it is activated.

Safety is built into every ride: identity verification during onboarding, a real-time panic button on every screen, live location sharing with your trusted contacts, and full trip records. We pair this with fair, transparent earnings — drivers keep 80% of every fare — and local-first payment options designed for South African riders and drivers.

We build with our community through continuous feedback, and adapt fast to real-world needs. Our goal is to become Africa's most trusted, fair and women-first mobility platform.
