New mobility app combines ride-hailing with professional driver-hire services, offering users the flexibility to book rides or hire drivers to operate their own vehicles.
— Nollywood movie producer and entrepreneur, Amb. Thompson Ukeki, has unveiled King Drive U, a new e-hailing and mobility platform designed to combine riding services and professional driving services in one mobile application.
Described by its founder as a “2-in-1” mobility solution, King Drive U allows users to book rides for their everyday activities while also giving vehicle owners the opportunity to hire professional drivers to drive their personal vehicles.
Speaking about the new platform, Amb. Ukeki said the concept was developed to address different transportation and driving needs through a single application.
“King Drive U is a 2-in-1 application created for both riding services and professional driving services. Through the app, you can book a ride for your daily activities, or you can hire a professional driver to drive your own car for an hour, a day, a week or a month.”
According to the founder, the driver-hire function is particularly designed for people who own vehicles but may require a professional driver for personal, business, family, or other transportation needs.
Users can therefore choose between requesting a ride and requesting a driver, depending on their specific requirements.
A Different Approach to E-Hailing
Amb. Ukeki said what distinguishes King Drive U from conventional ride-hailing applications is its combination of two mobility functions within the same platform.
“What makes King Drive U different is the combination of riding and driving services in one application. It is designed to give users more choices and flexibility when it comes to transportation.”
The platform is also designed to create opportunities for professional drivers by connecting them with vehicle owners and customers who require driving services.
The founder said King Drive U is being positioned as an international mobility platform, with its service vision across Nigeria and other African countries, Europe, and the United States of America.
Available on Mobile App Stores
King Drive U is available for download through the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, allowing users to access its services through their smartphones.
The platform is expected to serve different categories of users, including riders, vehicle owners, professional drivers and individuals who require dedicated driving services.
Driving Opportunities and Reliable Rides
The launch represents another step in Amb. Thompson Ukeki’s entrepreneurial activities beyond the Nigerian film industry, bringing together technology and transportation services under the King Drive U brand.
The platform’s core message is captured in its tagline:
“Driving Opportunities, Reliable Rides, Endless Possibilities.”
