Basic qualifications to become a driver.
You must be at least 21 years old to drive with Dropme. This ensures drivers have sufficient experience and maturity for safe transportation services.
A valid driver's license from your country of operation (Canada or Cameroon) is required. Your license must be at least 1 year old, demonstrating sufficient driving experience.
A clean driving record is essential. We review your driving history to ensure passenger safety. Minor violations may be acceptable, but serious offenses will disqualify you.
All drivers must pass a comprehensive background check. This includes criminal history verification to ensure the safety of our platform and passengers.
You must provide proof of residency in your operating region (Canada or Cameroon). This helps us verify your eligibility and ensure compliance with local regulations.
Your vehicle must meet our safety and quality standards.
Your vehicle must be 10 years old or newer. This ensures reliability, safety, and passenger comfort. We may make exceptions for well-maintained vehicles on a case-by-case basis.
For most cities, a 4-door vehicle with a minimum of 5 seatbelts is required. This accommodates passengers comfortably and meets safety standards.
Your vehicle must have valid registration in your operating region. Registration must be current and match the vehicle you'll be driving.
All vehicles must pass a comprehensive safety inspection. This includes checks on brakes, lights, tires, and overall vehicle condition to ensure passenger safety.
Your vehicle must be in good working condition with no major mechanical issues. It should be clean, well-maintained, and presentable to passengers.
Have these documents ready before applying.
A valid government-issued identification document (passport, national ID, or driver's license) to verify your identity.
Clear photos of both front and back of your valid driver's license. Ensure all information is visible and legible.
Current vehicle registration document showing the vehicle is registered in your name or with proper authorization.
Valid insurance certificate with coverage that meets our minimum requirements. Insurance must be active and up to date.
Recent vehicle inspection report from an authorized inspection center, confirming your vehicle meets safety standards.
Proper insurance coverage is mandatory for all drivers.
You must maintain valid auto insurance that meets our minimum coverage requirements. Insurance protects you, your passengers, and your vehicle.
Your insurance must meet the minimum coverage amounts required by law in your operating region. We recommend comprehensive coverage for better protection.
Required coverage typically includes liability, collision, and comprehensive insurance. Check with your insurance provider to ensure you have adequate coverage for rideshare activities.
If your insurance expires or changes, you must update it in the app immediately. Driving without valid insurance is not permitted and will result in account suspension.
A smartphone and reliable internet connection are essential.
You need a smartphone (iOS or Android) capable of running the Dropme driver app. The app requires a modern operating system for optimal performance.
Your device must be compatible with the latest version of the Dropme driver app. Check app store requirements for minimum device specifications.
A reliable internet connection (WiFi or mobile data) is required to use the app, receive ride requests, and navigate to destinations.
Enable location services, notifications, and necessary permissions for the app to function properly. These are essential for receiving rides and navigation.
Additional requirements may apply based on your operating region.
In Canada, drivers must comply with provincial and municipal regulations. Some cities may require additional permits or licenses. We'll guide you through region-specific requirements during the application process.
In Cameroon, drivers must meet national transportation regulations. We work with local authorities to ensure compliance and help you navigate the requirements.
