Have a look at the video for visual communication!

Thinking about joining a ride-hailing app to earn some extra cash in 2025?

You're not alone! With apps like TXY.CO, SheDrives, Pinkfly, RideCaro, and iRide entering the Pakistani market, the opportunities are growing—especially now that Careem has left the scene in 2025.

But here’s the big question:
Can you really make money, or will it cost you more than you earn?

Let’s break it down in a simple way so you can decide if it’s right for you.


💡 First Things First: Your Car Matters!

Before you hit the road, check your car’s fuel average.
It can make or break your income.

🔴 RED ZONE: 7-12 Km/L

  • You’re losing money.

  • High fuel cost + high maintenance = low or no income.

  • Common RED ZONE cars:

    • Suzuki FX

    • Suzuki Khyber

    • Old Alto (2008 or older)

    • Carburetor engine cars

❌ Not Recommended for ride-hailing.

⚪ GREY ZONE: 14-17 Km/L

  • You're just breaking even.

  • Maintenance and regular oil changes are key.

  • You might earn a little extra, but not much.

  • Mostly EFI or ECU-chipped engines fall here.

✅ Minimum requirement for ride-hailing.



🟢 GREEN ZONE: 18-22 Km/L

  • You’re in the sweet spot!

  • After fuel and maintenance, you could earn up to Rs. 60,000/month (if you drive regularly).

  • Cars like:

    • Suzuki Alto (2019+)

    • Daihatsu Mira

    • Other fuel-efficient cars

💰 Highly Recommended for ride-hailing.



🚦 Bonus Tip: Other Things That Affect Income

  • City traffic

  • Fuel prices

  • Peak hours

  • Regular maintenance

  • Driver behavior (speeding, braking, etc.)

✅ Final Thoughts

Pakistan’s ride-hailing industry is changing fast, and 2025 is a great time to jump in—if your car is ready.
