Our Impact
We’re a Social Enterprise When you rent with us, you’re directly contributing to improving the lives of local families. Unlike traditional rental companies, we don’t own any tuk-tuks. Instead, we partner with a network of local owners, renting their tuk-tuks to you. This model empowers tuk-tuk owners to step away from full-time driving and pursue higher-skilled careers, creating long-term opportunities for themselves and their families. Together, we’re driving change and fostering sustainable development.
