Help you’ve
already paid for.
Free, and already armed. One press sends a response team, has the vehicle stopped and searched, and puts your live position in front of the 745 security desk until it's over. For riders and drivers both.

Why it costs nothing
Because the one moment this button exists for is the worst possible moment to be taking a payment. A card that declines, a wallet that’s empty, a signal that drops, any of them turns a safety product into a broken promise.
It used to be a R50 credit you bought in advance so that nothing had to go through when you pressed. That was the right instinct and it did not go far enough: a rider who had not bought one still had no button. So there is nothing to buy, nothing to top up, and nothing to run out of.
What happens when you press
- 01
Nothing to buy, nothing to arm
Shield is on from your first trip, for every rider and every driver. No credit, no subscription, no setting to switch on before the day you need it.
- 02
Press once
One button, one confirmation. No call to place, no number to remember, nothing to explain to anyone while it's happening.
- 03
A team is dispatched
A response team is sent immediately and a stop-and-search is scheduled on the vehicle you're in. Nobody waits for someone to notice an alert on a screen.
- 04
You're watched until it's over
Your live position streams to the 745 security desk and operations team until the incident is closed, not just at the moment you pressed.
Drivers get it too
The same button, the same response, the same price of nothing. A driver alone in a car at night is exposed in ways a passenger isn’t, and a safety product that only points one way isn’t a safety product. It’s marketing.
And on every trip, by default
745 Shield: free, and always armed
On every trip, for everyone, at no cost. One press and a response team is dispatched, a stop-and-search is scheduled on the vehicle, and your live position goes to the 745 security desk until it's over. For riders and drivers both.
Code-verified boarding
Every trip starts with a 4-digit code that only you hold. No code, no trip. The wrong car can never be your car.
Vetted, documented drivers
PrDP permits, police clearance, roadworthy certificates: reviewed by 745 staff before a driver sees a single job.
Live trip tracking
Your driver's position streams to your screen in real time, and your trip can be followed by people you trust.
Stolen-phone protection
PIN-locked app, remote sign-out from any device, and a flagged phone is wiped of your data the moment it touches the network.
