Repayment will be in installment for a epoch of 4 to 5 years but for now MASLOC is unable to determine the cost of the vehicles because they are still within customs province even though they are parked in front the parliament house. The duty on the cars will have to be paid before they become available for arrangement.
MASLOC says it has so far received 1500 applications from Greater Accra Ambit alone but it's able to distribute only 600 for now.

Miss Ansah-Djan said the approach would encourage many beneficiary drivers to drive carefully and to use only authorized routes since as car owners they would be under no coerce to make their daily sales.
She said the repayment of the facility was flexible such that the drivers could settle either to pay daily, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly an amount of not less than GHC25 a day. She added that though the driver would be financially chief for car maintenance and routine mechanical servicing, they were to partronise only approved service centres authorised by MASLOC.
She disclosed that MASLOC had formed a partnership with the State Drivers' Academy to train beneficiary drivers on the importance of car maintenance, distinct dressing and grooming and good passenger relations.
Stressing the need for drivers to be appropriately groomed to bring out the best in them Miss Ansah-Djan explained that Ghana serves as an winning tourist destination because the country was rich in natural resources including the commercial formation of oil and gas, and that taxi drivers were often the first point of contact for tourists.
