Pricing
Transparent, server-side pricing for every service — know the price before you book.
Last updated: 15 September 20261. How Etsa pricing works
Etsa believes in honest, transparent pricing. Every quote is calculated server-side using the service's published pricing model — no invented figures, no surprises at delivery. The price shown before you confirm is the price you pay, unless you change the job.
2. Pricing models
- Distance (rides & bakkies): a base fee plus a rate per kilometre. Your fare is calculated from the pickup and dropoff locations.
- Area (home services): priced per square metre for jobs like gardening, carpet cleaning or painting — measured by our AI tool or a quick on-screen estimate.
- Quantity (water, materials): priced per unit (litres delivered, sand or stone per load).
- Hourly: priced per hour for services billed by time.
- Options: some services have fixed options (e.g. City Ride vs Airport) with a set price each.
3. Example fares
- Classic ride: from R35 minimum, then per-kilometre.
- Water tanker: from R1,000 per 1,000 litres delivered.
- Garden service: per square metre, measured before booking.
- Building sand: per load, contact-based after quote.
Final rates are always displayed clearly before you confirm a booking.
4. What's included
- VAT is included in displayed prices.
- Quotes include the service price and any agreed extras shown at booking.
- Promo codes apply automatically when valid.
5. Payments
Pay securely online via card once your booking is confirmed, or choose cash on delivery where a service supports it. Online payments are handled by trusted processors; Etsa never stores your card details.
6. Provider earnings & commission
Providers set their availability and see their earnings balance in their wallet. Etsa applies the commission rate shown to providers at registration. Providers can withdraw earnings to their bank via the provider portal.
7. Disputes
If a final price differs from the quote, contact us before paying online so we can review the job. We will not leave you guessing — every adjustment is agreed with you first.
