Little drivers to enjoy up to Sh 6 discount from KenolKobil

Craft Silicon’s taxi hailing app, Little signed a partnership with KenolKobil that will see its drivers enjoying up to Sh 6 discounts in the pump.

Little drivers will also receive a K-Card, KenolKobil’s fuel card with which they will pay for fuel and fuel produts at discounted rates.

Speaking during the signing of the agreement, the Group Managing Director of KenolKobil David Ohana said, “There is a huge campaign to be launched in two weeks and will run till mid-January where Little drivers and owners of the K-Card will enjoy up to Sh 6 discount in the pump.”

KenolKobil has also waived all the application and administrative cost for Little in the acquisition of the fuel card.

The CEO of Craft Silicon Kamal Budhabhatti said Little which is powered by Safaricom has new features like allowing users the choice to pay for someone else’s ride through the Sambaza ride option. Also a rider can now select the music they would want to play during their ride before the taxi arrives which increases convenience.

“Improving our customers’ experience, and empowering our drivers economically remains twin key objective for us. Today, we have demonstrated that we are not only listening to our customers’ feedback but also looking into opportunities to empower our drivers. Through this partnership, we hope to significantly lower the drivers’ costs of operation, considering that fuel is a huge component,” Mr Budhabhatti added.

Safaricom’s Director of Enterprise Business, Rita Okuthe added, “We are constantly looking for opportunities that not only benefit our customers, but are also beneficial to the ecosystem. In the case of Little, we are pleased that it is empowering drivers, who work hard each day to deliver satisfactory services to our riders”.

Launched in July, the Little app can also be accessed by non-smartphone users by dialing *826# and users can also share their expected time of arrival using any digital communication channel using the Safari Share feature.
