Pickup, Moving Forward.

By Pickup Nigeria

Pickup Charter started with a simple question. Why is it so hard to arrange a car, a boat or a private jet you can actually trust?

Too often the answer still runs on phone calls and referrals. You ask a friend for a number. You wait on WhatsApp for a price. Then you hope the right car turns up.

We think it should be one app.

What We Are Building

One place to find and book chauffeur driven cars, crewed boats and private jets from verified, independent operators.

You see each car, its operator, its reviews and the all in price before you pay. You pay once, securely. On the day, you follow your trip and share it with someone you trust.

What Moving Forward Means

It means doing the slow work first.

Every operator on Pickup is a registered business. Every vehicle, vessel and aircraft is document checked before it lists. Every chauffeur, captain and crew member is identity checked before they take a booking.

It also means being clear about what we are. Pickup is a marketplace. Independent operators run the trips. We make them easier to discover, verify, book and manage, and we support you for the life of every booking.

What Comes Next

We are starting in Lagos. Join the waitlist and we will tell you when it opens, or sign up to the newsletter below for news as it happens.
