Procurement-grade vehicle sourcing for Ethiopia
Anqelba Car Rental is a B2B marketplace where businesses, NGOs and agencies source vehicles from verified providers, by sealed-bid tender or direct rental, with escrow on every contract.
Why we built this
Corporate vehicle rental in Ethiopia still runs on phone calls, personal favours and late invoice chasing. Providers with good fleets lose contracts to those with better connections. Businesses overpay because they have no way to compare offers, and pay upfront with no recourse if the vehicle never arrives.
Anqelba Car Rental replaces that with a marketplace where every participant is verified, every RFQ is sealed-bid, every direct rental is confirmed by the provider, and every payment is held in escrow until a PIN confirms handover. We are a party to the contract, not a noticeboard.
Where we are today
Stage
Pre-launch. Platform built; onboarding first providers and businesses.
Where
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Other cities after Addis is running well.
Team
Small founding team led by Mikiyas Shemsu Sani, Founder and CTO.
We publish only what we can show from the platform. Customer names and figures will appear here once the first contracts have completed and the parties have agreed to be named.
What we stand for
Transparency first
Sealed bidding and a timestamped contract record mean every award can be explained on merit, not relationships.
Verified trust
KYB verification on both sides. Providers also prove vehicle ownership, insurance and licensing before they can list or bid.
Fair to both sides
Businesses get competition and choice. Providers get escrow-backed payment and demand that comes to them. Neither side is exploited.
Built for Ethiopia
ETB pricing, Ethiopian payment rails, Amharic, Afaan Oromo and Tigrinya, and a team that lives in the market it serves.
