Keke goes where cars cannot
Tricycles operate in narrow urban streets, market corridors, estate roads, and bus stop areas that are inaccessible to private cars and commercial buses. This makes Keke uniquely valuable for advertisers. Your vehicle reaches audiences that no other vehicle type can.
Close contact, repeated daily
Passengers ride inside the Keke cabin. They are seated within arm's reach of your exterior branding for the entire trip, averaging 5 to 15 minutes of direct exposure per passenger. That level of sustained proximity generates stronger recall than a passing billboard.
High frequency fixed routes
Most Keke operators run consistent daily routes between bus stops, markets, and estates. Brands pay a premium for this predictability. They know exactly which corridors their ads will cover and can model their reach accurately. Your routine becomes an asset.
Slow speed means more impressions
Tricycles move slowly through dense urban areas, stopping at bus stops, navigating traffic hold ups, and waiting at intersections. Every pause is extended dwell time for pedestrians, other road users, and passengers to see the brand on your vehicle.

How the Campaign Process Works for Tricycle Drivers
From your first sign-up to your first payout in under a week. Everything is handled through the Vehicash platform. No paperwork, no office visits, no delays.
Register your Keke on the waitlist
Sign up in under 2 minutes. You'll need your tricycle details, the routes you normally operate, and your Nigerian bank account information for payouts. There's no fee and no commitment at this stage.
Specify your primary city and the areas you cover. This helps us match you to campaigns that are active in your specific zone.
Get matched and decals applied
When a campaign matching your Keke and route is available, our team contacts you for a brief verification. A certified Vehicash technician visits you to apply the brand decal on your tricycle's exterior panels at no cost to you.
Typical application takes 20 to 30 minutes. The vinyl decal is professionally applied and will not damage your tricycle's paintwork or bodywork.
Drive your normal routes
Continue operating exactly as you do today. There are no mandatory routes, no minimum daily distances, and no check-ins required. Your GPS tracked vehicle earns automatically as you move through your usual areas.
The Vehicash app shows your campaign status, estimated earnings to date, and next payout date all in one place.
Receive weekly bank transfers
Every 7 days, your earnings are calculated based on your campaign activity and transferred directly to your registered bank account. No middlemen, no withdrawal requests. It arrives automatically.
At the end of a campaign, the decal is removed free of charge by our team. You can immediately be matched to the next available campaign.
Requirements for Keke Operators
The requirements are intentionally simple. If you operate a tricycle in Nigeria daily, you almost certainly qualify.
What you need
Own or regularly operate a tricycle in Nigeria
Owner-operators and leaseholders both qualify. You do not need to own the Keke outright. Regular daily operators are accepted.
Tricycle must be in roadworthy condition
Your vehicle should be structurally sound and actively in service. Damaged or non operational vehicles cannot be matched to campaigns.
Operate in a Vehicash launch city
Launch cities are Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Ibadan. Operators in other cities can still join the general waitlist for future expansion.
Have a registered Nigerian bank account
Payouts are sent directly via bank transfer. You will need an active account in your name or registered to your business to receive payments.
Complete a brief vehicle photo verification
You will be asked to submit clear photos of your tricycle during registration. This takes about 5 minutes and can be done via smartphone.
What disqualifies a vehicle
Vehicles in poor structural condition
Brands require clean, presentable vehicles for their campaigns.
Operators outside launch cities
We can only match vehicles where active campaigns exist. Join the waitlist and we will notify you when your city is covered.
Vehicles already carrying competing ad wraps
Your vehicle must be available for exclusive Vehicash campaign decals during the campaign period.
Common questions
Does the Keke need to be registered with FRSC or the state government?
A valid local registration or union membership is preferred but not mandatory at the waitlist stage. We will confirm specific documentation requirements in your city during the verification call.
Can I be on Vehicash if I rent my Keke from a fleet owner?
Yes. If you are the primary daily operator, you can register. However, the payout will be made to the bank account registered during sign up. Discuss any revenue sharing arrangement with your fleet owner separately.
What if my Keke breaks down during a campaign?
Earnings are paused automatically if your vehicle is inactive. There are no penalties for downtime. The campaign simply resumes when your vehicle is back on the road.
