Problem
Getting around Georgetown, Guyana typically means street taxis with negotiated fares, cash payment, and no app-based booking or trip tracking. Visitors and businesses have few options that offer upfront prices, digital payment, and standard safety checks.
Solution
GuyWay operates an all-electric ride network in Georgetown using a company-owned fleet of Tesla Model 3 cars, charged at its own hub in Providence, East Bank Demerara. Riders book in the GuyWay app for iOS and Android, see a distance-based fare before confirming, and pay digitally, as cash is not accepted. Every driver is vetted in person in Georgetown, covering licence, police clearance, insurer approval, and a safety induction. Trips include live trip sharing and an in-app SOS that reaches the company's Trust & Safety team around the clock. Riders can also book by WhatsApp, and business accounts receive consolidated monthly statements and tax invoices for each trip.
Target Audience
Georgetown residents, visitors needing airport transfers, and businesses arranging staff and guest travel, such as oil and gas service companies, contractors, diplomatic missions, and professional firms. GuyWay also rents its Teslas by the slot to independent drivers who complete rides.
