PoolCar makes money only when you do. Every transaction carries a take rate — defaulting to 10%, fully configurable for anchor accounts.
10%
Reservation
B2B reservation orders
Applied to each invoice when a business reserves a vehicle. Settled with the leasing-co payout on the same transaction.
10%
Retail
Storefront bookings
Applied to every booking taken through a leasing-co's branded retail subdomain.
10%
Leasing-portal
Direct customer bookings
Applied when a leasing company processes its own customer's booking through our platform.
Take rates are platform-default. Per-organization overrides available for anchor accounts and volume deals.

FAQ
The questions
we get most
Are there free trials?
+
No. Customers pay Paystack on reservation. We don't do tire-kicker trials, but we don't charge a setup fee — you can browse, quote, and walk away at zero cost.
What about volume discounts?
+
Anchor accounts (large businesses, large fleets) can negotiate per-organization take-rate overrides. Talk to sales.
Do you support currencies other than Naira?
+
No. PoolCar is NGN-only and Paystack-only by design. We'll expand when the unit economics justify the engineering cost.
Who pays the Paystack processing fee?
+
The customer. Processing fees are grossed up onto the invoice automatically — neither the platform nor the leasing company absorbs them.
How fast do leasing companies get paid?
+
Settled bookings flow into the next payout window on a recurring schedule, executed via Nuban transfers to your verified Nigerian bank account.
Is there a minimum commitment?
+
For businesses: one month minimum on a reservation order. For leasing companies: no commitment — you can list a single vehicle for a single day if you want.
