A host lists a vehicle. A guest searches, requests or books it, and pays in naira through Flutterwave. After the trip, the host's share of the rental subtotal is paid out under the payout rules. Nova Rides keeps the platform share and arranges the insurance products that apply to that booking.
What you are offering
- A self-drive vehicle for the booked dates.
- A daily price you set, in Nigerian naira.
- Pickup and return in the way the booking describes.
- A car that is clean, roadworthy, and accurately described.
What hosting is not
- It is not a chauffeur or on-demand taxi service.
- It is not a monthly rental product.
- It is not vehicle financing or a guaranteed income plan.
- It does not transfer ownership to the guest.
The standard host share is 80% of the rental subtotal. The guest also pays a service fee, VAT where it applies, any priced insurance, and a refundable security deposit. Those guest charges are not the same thing as your payout.
