Ola, one of the world’s largest rideshare platforms, is set to launch in 11 new locations across the country this month. These include Hamilton, Dunedin, Palmerston North and Tauranga.

It will also launch in Queenstown, Nelson, New Plymouth, Napier, Rotorua, Taupo and Hastings. The company is already in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

Brian Dewil, Country Manager of Ola New Zealand, noted, “Ola has already signed up 9,000 drivers in New Zealand…we are offering drivers who sign up to the platform in the new locations by New Year’s Eve, an introductory commission of 9%. When Ola goes live in these centres in the coming weeks, new customers will enjoy $5 off their first three rides in these locations, when they sign up to the app before New Year’s Eve as well.”
