Ride Nuff, a bold new entrant into the private hire industry, has officially launched its equity crowdfunding campaign on Crowdcube, inviting the public to invest in what it calls a driver-led revolution in urban mobility.
Founded by a collective of private hire drivers fed up with high commissions and worsening working conditions, Ride Nuff positions itself as the ethical alternative to Uber and Bolt.
With over 3,500 licensed drivers already signed up ahead of launch, the company promises to put drivers and passengers first.
“After nearly a decade of driving, I’ve watched the trade fall apart,” said Tayfun Keskin, CEO and co-founder of Ride Nuff. “Platforms are taking up to 50% of the fare. Drivers are struggling, passengers are waiting longer, and nobody seems to be fixing it. So, we decided to build our own solution.”
The current ride-hailing model has come under increasing scrutiny. Drivers across London have long complained about rising commission rates, lack of support, and diminishing earnings. Meanwhile, customers are reporting longer wait times, price surges, and unreliable service.
Ride Nuff’s mission is to rebuild the ride-hailing industry from the ground up, starting with a model that is both fair and sustainable.
Ride Nuff introduces a game-changing structure:
- 0% Commission: Drivers keep 100% of the fare, paying only a flat £25/week subscription and a £0.50 fee per ride.
- Lower Prices for Riders: Fares are estimated to be 10% cheaper than competitors, without sacrificing driver income.
- Driver Ownership & Local Focus: Nuff is not backed by venture capital—it’s owned by drivers and local investors, aiming to deliver long-term community value rather than short-term profit.
London’s demand for minicab services continues to grow, but so does dissatisfaction with existing platforms. By building a transparent, community-first brand, Ride Nuff hopes to not only meet this demand, but exceed expectations on service, speed, and fairness.
“This is more than just a minicab platform,” said Keskin. “It’s a movement for change. We’re not here to disrupt for profit, we’re here to restore balance to a broken system.”
The company has launched its campaign on Crowdcube, offering early supporters the opportunity to become co-owners of the business.
Whether you’re a driver, passenger, or believer in ethical, sustainable business, Ride Nuff is calling on the public to join its journey and invest in a fairer future for transport.
