Listing security services

Security on Pickup is an extra on a listing, never a listing of its own. It is always unarmed. No armed escorts or police escorts are arranged through Pickup.

Who can list

Only operators working with a company that holds a valid Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Private Guard Company licence. We verify the partner before the extra shows to guests.

What you need

• Your company's verification: CAC, BVN, TIN and identity check.
• Your agreement with the NSCDC licensed guard company, and its licence number. You add these in Security licence, in Show you're licensed.
• The partner company's name, if you want to add it.

Setting up

1. Complete your operator sign up.
2. In Show you're licensed, add your guard company agreement. Tap Skip, no security escorts if you don't offer them.
3. Wait for Pickup to verify the partner.
4. Add the extra to your listing.

Security as an extra on car listings

1. Open Listings and choose your car.
2. Tap Extras.
3. Tap Security escort officer or Security escort car.
4. Set the price and how you charge for it.
5. Turn on Offer this extra and tap Save.

When a guest books an escort, add the officer's name and the escort car's plate in the booking's trip pack.

What you cannot offer

• Armed guards of any kind.
• Police escorts of any kind.
• Anything that suggests law enforcement powers.

A guest may travel with their own lawfully assigned, on duty personnel if you consent. That is not a Pickup service. See What if a guest wants to bring their own armed security detail?.

Fulfilment sits entirely with you and the licensed company. Read the Operator Standards and Verification and Compliance.
