LEFKO Rider

Book rides across Australia. GST fare estimates, live tracking, final receipts.

LEFKO is an Australian rideshare app built for transparent pricing. You see a GST-inclusive estimate before booking. The final price is calculated when the trip ends, with actual tolls and applicable road or airport charges added from the route travelled.

Choose the ride that fits: LEFKO Go for everyday trips, Go Max for premium cars, EKO for environmentally friendly zero-emission electric rides, Pets for travelling with animals, Ute and Van for bulky loads, Truck and Removalist for moving day, and LEFKO Assist when you need a hand getting in and out.

Track your driver on a live map from the second they accept, message them, and rate the trip when you arrive. Every completed trip produces a numbered GST receipt in your Receipts tab.

Drivers on LEFKO are verified Australians: police-checked, photo-matched to their licence, with current registration, pink slip and insurance on file.

• Clear fare estimates. See a GST-inclusive estimate before booking. Your final price is calculated after the trip, including actual tolls and applicable road or airport charges.
• Watch your driver arrive. Live map with your driver's position, speed and arrival time from the moment they accept.
• A ride for anything. LEFKO Go, Go Max, zero-emission EKO electric rides, Pets, Ute, Van, Truck, Removalist and LEFKO Assist for extra help.
• Verified Australian drivers. Every driver is police-checked, photo-verified and insured, with a rating and review history you can read before you ride.
• Tax-ready receipts. Each trip gets a numbered, GST-itemised receipt you can forward straight to your accountant.
• Rate and review. Score your driver out of five, add a quick tag and leave a comment — it all shows on their profile.

Location: collected, used for app functionality (matching you with nearby drivers and tracking your trip), not shared with third parties for advertising, and only while the app is in use.

Personal info: name, email address and phone number — used for your account and for your driver to contact you about the trip.

Financial info: payment details are handled entirely by our payment provider; LEFKO never stores your card number.

Encryption & deletion: all data is encrypted in transit, and users can request deletion of their account in the app.

Privacy policy — covers what we collect from passengers and drivers under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

Account deletion — Google requires a publicly reachable deletion page.
