How it works

AddisCar connects people in Addis Ababa who need a car with local owners who have one to rent. Every account and every listing is reviewed by our team.

For renters

  1. Step 1

    Search available cars

    Choose your pickup area in Addis Ababa, your dates and the type of car you need. Only approved, available cars are shown.

  2. Step 2

    Send a booking request

    You see the full price breakdown in ETB — daily rate, driver or delivery fees, service fee and refundable deposit — before you confirm.

  3. Step 3

    Get verified

    Upload your national ID or passport and your driving licence. Our team reviews them, usually within a working day.

  4. Step 4

    Pick up and drive

    Meet the owner at the agreed place and time, complete the pickup checklist, and the car is yours for the rental period.

For car owners

  1. Step 1

    Apply as a car owner

    Create an account, then submit your owner application with your ID and bank or mobile money details.

  2. Step 2

    Add your car

    Upload photos, the libre, insurance, and set your daily, weekly and monthly rates. Our team reviews and approves the listing.

  3. Step 3

    Accept bookings

    Approve or decline requests, block dates in your calendar, and message renters directly.

  4. Step 4

    Get paid

    After each completed rental we deduct the platform commission and record your payout in Ethiopian Birr.
