InDriver allows riders to propose fares for their trips (based on pre-approved rates) after which a nearby driver can accept, reject or respond with a counteroffer.

It is a five-year-old Russian ride-hailing service, already launched in Tanzania and Kenya and now expanding to Ghana.
Lyft will be launching their ride hailing services in Ghana soon.

And the driver is responsible for all expenses.
