Driver Support

Support when things go wrong on the road.

The nature of e-hailing work can be unpredictable - vehicle breakdowns, accidents, disputes and health emergencies happen. SAEHA provides guidance and support so members are not left to face difficult moments alone.

Safety incidents

Guidance after harassment, threats, or a safety concern on the road.

Vehicle breakdowns & accidents

Support and direction when your vehicle is out of action or you've been in an accident.

Disputes with platforms

Help engaging Uber or Bolt on unfair deactivations, fare disputes, or policy issues.

Welfare & wellbeing

A point of contact for members going through a difficult time on or off the road.

What happens next

SAEHA cannot control every roadside condition, but a clear request helps the team understand the urgency, contact you back, and guide the next step.
