About us

One fleet, four ways to move

DOTS is a Zambian transport company. We hire out cars, run a taxi service, deliver parcels and deliver food — on one fleet, one operations system and one phone number.

What we do

Car hire

Self-drive and chauffeured hire in Lusaka and Ndola, by the day or by the month. Company cars and owner-listed cars, inspected and insured, with the price shown on the car before you ask.

DOTS Taxi

A ride in minutes from the app, with the fare shown before you book, your driver’s name and plate, and the car live on the map.

DOTS Express

Parcels across town on the same fleet, collected with a photo and handed over against a PIN, so both ends know it arrived.

DOTS Eats

Food from restaurants across Lusaka, ordered in the app and delivered by the same drivers.

How we are put together

Most operators of this size run on WhatsApp and a notebook. DOTS runs on software we built ourselves: a rider app, a driver app and an operations system that holds every booking, every vehicle, every payment and every payout in one place. That is why a DOTS car is confirmed the moment you book it, why the price does not change after you have agreed it, and why we can tell you where your car is.

The partnership fleet

Not every car on the DOTS fleet is ours. Owners put their vehicles with us, we find the clients and handle the bookings, the paperwork and the tracking, and the earnings are shared. If you have a car sitting idle, it can be working.

Where we are

We operate in Lusaka and Ndola, seven days a week. The phone is answered by a person, not a menu: +260 978 208545.

[TO BE COMPLETED] This page needs the facts only DOTS can supply: the registered company name in full, the PACRA registration number, the street address, and the year the business started. They belong here and in the footer, and nothing should be invented in the meantime.
