From request to handover in three steps

Anqelba Car Rental is a B2B vehicle rental marketplace based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Businesses, NGOs and government agencies source vehicles from KYB-verified providers either through sealed-bid RFQs or by renting directly. Every contract is escrow-protected and confirmed by a PIN at handover.

Any registered business, NGO or government agency that needs vehicles can register as a business. Providers must be registered companies or individuals with vehicles they own, and must pass identity, business, vehicle ownership, insurance and licensing verification before they can list or bid.

An RFQ (request for quotation) is a tender: you describe the need and verified providers submit sealed bids that you compare and award. A direct rental is for when you already know the vehicle you want: you browse verified fleets, send a request for specific vehicles, and the provider confirms. Both end in the same contract, escrow and PIN handover.

Providers cannot see each other's prices, and you see each bid's price, trust score and tier but not the provider's name until you award. Blind bidding is always on; it cannot be switched off. You can award a request to one provider or split it across several.

Yes. When a contract is created your payment is held in escrow. It is released to the provider only after a 6-digit PIN, generated for that contract, is entered at handover to confirm the vehicle arrived as agreed. If a provider does not deliver, the money does not move.

No. Requests can be short term (up to 30 days) or long term, and a single day is fine. You can post a one-off request, run a recurring contract, or rent directly for a specific date range.

No. Posting an RFQ or sending a direct rental request is free for businesses. There is no subscription and no listing fee. The platform earns a commission from the provider on each completed contract.

The business pays into escrow before the vehicle moves. After the handover PIN is confirmed, the escrowed amount less the platform commission is released to the provider's wallet and settled on the platform's settlement cycle. Withdrawals go through the integrated Ethiopian payment rails.

Two ways. Open RFQs that match your fleet appear in your dashboard for sealed bidding, and businesses that already know what they want can send you direct rental requests for your listed vehicles, which you accept, amend or decline.

Commission is charged only to the provider, only on completed contracts, and is tiered: it steps down as your trust score and tier rise. There is no subscription or listing fee. Current rates are shown inside the provider dashboard.

Every provider passes business, identity, vehicle ownership, insurance and licensing verification before they can list or bid. Each provider also carries a trust score and tier that you see beside every bid, based on verification and on completion, on-time and no-show history.

Sedans, SUVs, minibuses, pickups and other commercial vehicles, depending on which verified providers have listed them. Availability grows as more providers are onboarded.

We are launching in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia first. Other Ethiopian cities will follow once Addis is running well. If you are outside Addis you can still register, and we will let you know when your area opens.

Register your organisation or your fleet at app.anqelbacarrental.com, complete verification, and either post your first request or list your first vehicle. Our team reviews every application before it goes live.
