How payments work

Kalonca connects travelers with verified private van drivers across Morocco. When a traveler books and pays, the payment goes through Kalonca. After the trip is completed, the driver can request a payout and our team validates the bank transfer.

Prices shown to travelers are always the full trip price. Any platform fee is deducted before the driver is paid: never added on top at checkout.

Fees & earnings

Platform fee

Kalonca applies a 12% platform fee on each successful trip payment. It is calculated on the gross amount the traveler pays. Example: on a 1,500 MAD trip, the fee is 180 MAD and the driver earns 1,320 MAD. The traveler still pays 1,500 MAD total.

This fee funds driver verification, secure bookings, customer support, payment processing, dispute handling, and platform development.

The rate is published on this page and only changes with reasonable notice. You always see the final traveler price or net driver amount before confirming: no surprise deductions later.

  • Only charged on successful payments
  • Based on the agreed trip price
  • Deducted automatically: drivers see net amounts in their dashboard

How earnings are calculated

Driver earnings = trip price minus platform fee. For custom trips, the fee applies to the final price once the traveler accepts the driver's proposal and pays.

If a booking is cancelled before payment succeeds, no fee applies.

Travelers and drivers

Whether you book trips or offer them, here is what to expect from payments on Kalonca.

For travelers

You pay exactly the price shown at checkout: no hidden fees at the last step.

Payment is secured until the trip progresses. Cancellations follow our policy; refunds are processed accordingly.

View payment history and booking status from your account after signing in.

For drivers

Your earnings dashboard shows net amounts: what you can actually withdraw. No manual fee math needed.

Earnings unlock for payout only after the trip is completed and payment has succeeded.

Paid trips still in progress show as "in progress" and cannot be withdrawn yet.

Submit a payout request from Earnings. Our team reviews and marks the transfer as paid.

  • Available: completed trips ready to withdraw
  • Awaiting admin: payout request under review
  • Paid out: funds transferred to you
  • In progress: paid trips not yet completed

Payouts, refunds & support

Payout process

One open payout request at a time. It bundles all currently available completed-trip earnings.

After admin approval, we send the bank transfer and mark the request paid. Balances update automatically.

If rejected (e.g. wrong bank details), earnings return to your available balance so you can request again.

Refunds & cancellations

Refund rules depend on timing and who cancelled. Fees are not charged on payments that never succeed.

Disputed trips may hold payouts until resolved. Contact support with your booking reference.
