Why you should rent out your car
This week, we shared an exciting update across all our channels that Tarlen is rolling out it services in Western Cape with the aim to give busy everyday individuals the chance to earn a side income and pay off their car loans by renting their cars to vetted individuals.
Until now, the primary means for South Africans to earn a side income with their vehicles was through ride-sharing platforms such as Uber and Bolt. However, these platforms demand a considerable time investment that many car owners find unmanageable
It’s also a well-known fact that South Africa doesn’t issue a sufficient number of public operator licenses to rideshare drivers. This leads to many of them working without a license, causing numerous vehicle confiscations, heavy fines, and general dissatisfaction with ride-sharing.
We believe that South Africans continue to opt for ride-sharing due to limited transportation alternatives, and this is precisely why Tarlen Carshare was founded. Our vision is for a South Africa enriched by a thriving car-sharing community, grounded in trust, transparency, and the ingenuity of individuals.
