But here’s a reminder: you live in one of the most breathtaking countries on the planet. Very few places come close to the diversity and beauty South Africa has.
Still, life gets busy. Deadlines, routines, and responsibilities pull your attention away from what makes living here remarkable.
If you grew up in Mzansi, or lived here long enough, it’s easy for it to feel familiar and ordinary.
The places you drive past every day stop surprising you.
The beauty that others travel across the world to see starts to feel normal.
Who will be the first carsharing millionaire?
We believe carsharing can become a real wealth equalizer here, a system that puts money in people’s pockets, instead of innovations that drain them, like buy-now-pay-later schemes that push people toward what they can’t afford.
We’re still early, but I keep wondering:
Our mission is to make using and owning cars easier without financial strain.
* And the first speeding ticket was given to a guy called Walter Arnold in 1896. He was going 8mph in a 2mph zone.
We could go on.
These small experiments didn’t look world-changing at the time, but they shaped everything that came after.
That same spirit drives Tarlen.
She even invented brake lining along the way when she asked a cobler to fit the wood brakes with leather strips.
* The first recorded car rental business came from a bicycle repair shop expanding their business in 1904.
We love trivias about automotive “firsts”. Some interesting ones
* Karl Benz built the first fuel-powered car.
* His wife, Bertha Benz, took the first long-distance road trip, traveling 194 km to prove cars were viable.

The best choice depends on the owner’s risk tolerance and how much control they want over how the car is used.
Another option is renting the vehicle to a professional company that operates an e-hailing fleet. These companies handle the licensing, compliance, and daily operations while you earn a steady fee.
Carsharing platforms allow owners to rent out their cars to trusted drivers for periods ranging from a few days to a month. This gives owners more control and creates a business model that scales without depending on how many hours they can personally drive.
With the updated e-hailing laws making it harder for individual drivers to operate, car owners who rely on their vehicles for income need to explore other models that can keep their earnings coming.
One such model is carsharing.
