Frequently Asked Questions

How do I verify a driver’s DVLA license? Request the driver’s license number and scan. Never hire without DVLA verification—it’s your safety assurance.

What should I know about driving in Accra? Accra traffic is congested during peak hours (7–10 AM, 4–6 PM). Experienced Accra drivers navigate efficiently, understand alternate routes, and know traffic light patterns. Specify Accra experience in your job posting if you value time-saving route knowledge.

Can I hire a driver for just weekends? Yes. Part-time and weekend drivers are available through SokoJob. Specify your schedule and days required in the job posting.

What about vehicle insurance and liability? Discuss vehicle ownership clearly. If you provide a vehicle, ensure comprehensive insurance coverage. If the driver uses personal transportation, verify their insurance covers passenger/commercial liability.

How much fuel allowance should I budget? Fuel costs depend on vehicle type and mileage. Budget GHS 500–1,500 monthly for typical family use in Accra, or negotiate fuel responsibility upfront. Corporate drivers often receive fuel cards rather than cash allowances.

Can I hire a driver for deliveries and errands? Yes. Delivery drivers and errand specialists are available on SokoJob. Specify tasks—package delivery, bank errands, shopping runs—in your job posting.
