Pradini
Premium movement in Lagos still ran on WhatsApp: negotiated prices, no-shows, fuel arguments, and cars that looked nothing like the photos. Kolade Alabi spent seven years in Nigeria’s automotive industry coordinating weddings, business travel, and private events that way.
The breaking point was a scheduled car that never arrived. He showed up to an investor meeting in whatever ride-hail was available — and the deal died in the parking lot. Mobility here is not just transport. It is reliability, presence, and showing up.
We built Pradini as a three-sided marketplace: guests who expect more, hosts who list verified vehicles, and professional chauffeurs who deliver the trip.
Guests browse by occasion — business meeting, airport, Owambe, night out, Sunday service, shopping, bride or groom rideout — or by class, from Classic and Premium to Elite sedans and SUVs, vans, and trucks. Real photos. Transparent pricing. Instant confirmation.
Trust is the product: physically inspected vehicles, background-checked chauffeurs, escrow-held payments released after the trip, and 24/7 support before, during, and after every ride. Hosts list, set price, and track every naira. Drivers get consistent bookings and a standard for how guests are received.
- Live marketplace at pradini.app — occasion and class catalogs, host onboarding, and a chauffeur network.
- Replaced WhatsApp coordination with verified vehicles, escrow payments, and instant booking confirmation.
- Public trust marks from executives at Flutterwave, Paystack, Chowdeck, and Moniepoint.
