The registration process in this respect would comprise of the verification of documents, audit of driver and car, driver training process, contract signing and distribution of devices. The registration would be conducted without imposing any charges on the applicant.
The employed driver would be remunerated for the services on a daily basis or within two working days (in case of customer payments through Ola money or other regulations). The earnings could be viewed on the partner app or through the website of Ola.
Ola operates with referral schemes that benefit the employee and the customer for recommending the cab service to others, the details of which are updated on the website from time-to-time.

The interested applicant may also choose to get a car on lease from Ola. The option provides him/her with a range of benefits such as:

Ola would automatically deduct the daily rental amount from the total earnings and deposit the same through NEFT or cash. The user would be required to pay a daily rent of INR 700-1150, which is determined based on the city of service and car model so leased.
Car maintenance and repairs can be pursued by scheduling an appointment through the ‘Ola partner mobile app.’ Employees can either choose to renew the lease or reclaim the security deposit remitted.
