How to become a LEFKO driver
You need the right licence and checks for your state, an insured eligible vehicle, and an ABN. The ATO says ride-sourcing drivers must have an ABN and register for GST from day one, regardless of how much they earn (ATO – Ride-sourcing, ATO – Registrations). In NSW, rideshare is regulated by the Point to Point Transport Commissioner.
Is LEFKO cheaper than Uber or DiDi?
No app can promise the lowest price on every trip. Fares depend on distance, time, vehicle type, demand and tolls. The best way to check is to compare the LEFKO estimate before you book.
