About
Ekriha
An Algerian platform for renting cars and homes — “وين حبيت روح بيها”.
Ekriha is an Algerian platform that gathers car and home rental listings from every wilaya in one place. Our job is simple: help you find something quickly, and let you call its owner directly.
We take no cut of any rental and do not step into the agreement between you and the owner. Our revenue comes from subscriptions for owners who want better placement, and from ad space — not from a commission on your back.
Every listing is reviewed by a person before it goes live, and every car agency must supply official documents before it earns the “Verified” badge. That does not make us a guarantor, but it makes the platform considerably cleaner.
Principles
Four decisions we will not reverse
Phone calls only
No online booking and no in-app chat. You tap “Show number” and you call. A call settles in a minute what messages drag out over a day — and it is how Algerians actually do this.
No online payment
We never touch your money. We do not transfer, hold or guarantee any amount between you and the owner. If anyone demands an online payment in Ekriha’s name, it is a scam attempt — report it.
Renters need no account
Browse, use the map, save listings, call — all without signing up. An account is only needed to publish.
A home’s address is not public
We show the wilaya and commune only, and on the map an approximate circle rather than an exact point. The full address stays between you and the owner, on the call.
Trust
What the badges mean
Only three badges, and each one means something specific — nothing more.
Verified
An agency that supplied official documents (commercial register or equivalent), checked by a human on our team.
It is not a guarantee about the vehicle’s condition, the price, or the deal being honoured.
Reviewed
A person on our team looked at this listing’s photos and details before it went live.
It does not mean we inspected the car or the home in person.
Pro
A subscribed owner: better placement, an availability calendar, and statistics.
A subscription does not buy verification and adds no guarantee to the listing.
