Licence and Eligibility Requirements
MNC does not state its minimum age, driving licence code, e-hailing permit requirements or any credit or income checks publicly. Ask MNC for the full list in writing before you pay anything.
MNC describes its product as a weekly rental, not a bank loan. Ask whether the agreement is regulated by the National Credit Act and, if you are not sure, get the answer in writing before signing.

According to MNC, maintenance, servicing, insurance, tracking and repair after an accident are covered by the weekly rental, and vandalism and other incidentals fall under MNC’s comprehensive insurance. Ask what excess, if any, you pay and what the insurance excludes.
