We check who everyone is first
You show a government ID and take a short video selfie, so we know the face matches. A company whose whole job is checking IDs does that bit. Not Kilomee on its own.
Trust and safety
Giving your stuff to a stranger is the scary bit.
It is why most people never try this, so it is the part we work hardest on. None of this is us promising people are nice. It is all about how the app is built.
The money waits, it is not sent
The moment you agree a price, the money goes to a proper money company. It waits there until the handover is confirmed. If the job goes wrong, it comes back to you.
Every handover gets proof
A short code at pickup, another at drop-off, and a photo each time. If there is an argument, it gets settled on the proof, not on who shouts loudest.
Your record follows you everywhere
Say someone has taken fifty boxes. That history comes with them the first time they give someone a lift. You cannot wipe it and start again.
These are the protections Kilomee is being built around. We are pre-launch, so none of them are live yet.
If you are carrying it, the law treats it as yours at the airport desk. Customs will not care that a stranger packed it. So the rule is simple: look inside everything, every time.
Never accepted
Cash, cheques and anything else negotiable

Allowed with paperwork
Medicine from a doctor. Some countries ban medicines you can buy easily in India - the UAE, for example, bans some cough syrups. Bring the prescription.
Alcohol and cigarettes, only up to the amount the country you land in allows
Drones and radios, which need a permit in many countries, the UAE among them
Food, fruit and veg, plants and seeds, which are limited both ways
So much of one thing that it looks like you are selling it, not carrying it for yourself
This list may still change. The one that counts is the one in the app, which is different for each route and gets checked before you accept anything.
How it is built, not promises.
