RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — January 10, 2025 — Ailoo, Saudi Arabia's first zero-commission ride platform, officially launched in Riyadh today.
Founded by Abdul Kumshey (Founder & CEO) and Hatim Hijazi (COO & Co-Founder), Ailoo is built on two structural innovations that no other ride platform in Saudi Arabia offers: permanent zero-commission for drivers, and flat fares with no surge pricing for riders.
Under the Ailoo model, drivers keep 100% of every fare — not a promotion, not a limited period. This is the permanent model. Riders see the full fare before booking; it never changes based on demand, time of day, or weather.
"The question we asked was simple: why does the driver have to lose 25-30% of every riyal they earn to a platform that just matches supply and demand?" said Abdul Kumshey. "We built Ailoo to prove you don't have to. That the business model can be different. That both sides can win."
Ailoo launches with six vehicle classes, AI-powered routing, and the Daily Commute subscription service — converting Saudi Arabia's 100,000+ monthly informal WhatsApp commute rides into a regulated, insured platform service.
Ailoo is incubated at Monsha'at Innovation Center and is aligned with Saudi Vision 2030.
