How it works

Choose your side of the marketplace.

Renters want confidence that the car they see is the car they will collect. Owners want to know who is coming to collect it. Kweli is designed around both sides of that handover.

Choose your side

The same marketplace, two different reasons to trust it.

Select the view that matters to you. We will show what Kweli is responsible for, what we verify and what we refuse to overpromise.

For renters

Book a known car, not a promise to find one.

Kweli gives you one clear route from search to keys. You do not need a personal relationship with a particular broker to know what you are booking.

A specific vehicle

The listing stays tied to the make, model, year, colour, photos and derived specifications you chose.

A visible total

Owner price, Kweli service fee and handover option are shown together before you pay.

A named handover

The pickup person, place and condition record are connected to the booking before the keys change hands.

Checks before keys

Once the approved verification flow is live, identity and licence checks happen before handover — not after an incident.

Fragmented route

Relationships still matter.

Brokers and operators have created access to cars. The problem is that the renter can face a different price, description or handover story at every step.

Clearer layer

Kweli working model

One accountable marketplace.

An owner sets the amount they want to receive. A transparent renter-facing fee is added on top, with the booking, checks and handover evidence kept in one route.

KSh 6,000 owner amount → KSh 7,200 working total before handover

Working model only; validate the final fee and economics with both founders, owners and renters before making it a promise.

Renting a car

Five steps from a search to a set of keys.

01
Start with your dates and location
Tell us when and where you need a car, then browse available vehicles without creating an account or handing over a document.
02
Compare the exact listing
See the vehicle, derived specs, photo evidence, colour, daily price and handover options together before you decide.
03
Verify once, after you have chosen
The approved flow will combine document checks, live-person verification and driving-document review when required. Higher-value cars can require more review.
04
Review the total and pay
The itemised total is calculated from the selected car, dates and handover option. Production payment collection will use a licensed provider flow.
05
Collect it, or request delivery
A named handover person completes the condition record before custody changes. Return evidence closes the same record at the end of the trip.

Listing a car

Five steps from your listing to a qualified booking.

01
Pass the checks that keep the listing credible
We review your identity, ownership evidence, payout details and commercial self-drive-hire cover before the listing can go live.
02
Make the listing clear and competitive
Choose the catalogue trim, add the required photo angles and set the amount you want to receive. The renter sees the full price before booking.
03
Get in front of active demand
Your listing enters a focused funnel of renters searching by dates, location and car details. A clear ad and competitive offer give it the best chance to perform.
04
Meet a renter who cleared the right checks
Before keys change hands, the renter completes the required identity and driving-document checks. Handover evidence keeps the vehicle, customer and booking connected.
05
Track bookings and earnings
Keep your listing, bookings, verification outcomes and owner amount in one place. Production settlement follows the authorised payment-provider contract.

Verification partner gate

A photo of an ID is not enough.

We are evaluating providers that can combine document authenticity, a live-person check, face match and a registry-backed identity lookup where available. The vendor, data route and exact wording will be confirmed before Kweli turns this into a customer promise.

The intended result is not a “fraud-proof” badge. It is a useful set of decisions — registry match, document check, liveness, licence review or manual review — attached to the same person and booking.
