PROFESSIONAL GPS / OBD TAXIMETER & DISPATCHING App With 100K+ installations, our app is the world's leading Taximeter & Dispatching App.
No configuration work needed: Unlike any other app, Taximeter-GPS comes with pre-set Tariffs from 230 cities in 70 countries. Our free version has more functionality than the paid version of any other app. Take a look at our very long
Features list on our website.
If needed, setup your own Tariff right in the app or on our
Portal.
Since 2011, this GPS and OBD based Taximeter app has been continuously extended in close cooperation with taxi companies and drivers.
Trust an app that is used daily by thousands of professional drivers worldwide and has run millions of trips.
Reduce operational costs by replacing your old taximeter devices with a professional app.
The app calculates with the highest precision, manages complex Tariff structures and masters all conceivable driving situations.
3 usage modes:
✅
LOCAL Mode More ‣A professional Taximeter for free, we are not even displaying ads! It can't get any better than this.
‣No setup work required to do a taxi trip: Click 'FOR HIRE' and taximeter starts. The app will select from our database the Tariff that is geographically closest to you from the 230 pre-set Tariffs in 50 countries. YOU DONT HAVE TO TELL THE APP WHICH Tariff IT SHOULD USE!
‣When your trip is finished, click on that same button.
‣If our pre-set Tariff is not the one you need, you can setup your own Tariff in the app.
‣Calculate Fare in advance and start navigation.
‣Connect Printer, OBD, Taxilight.
‣Interface to Credit Card systems (Square, Paypal/Braintree).
✅
LOGIN Mode More ‣As a Taxi Company, you will want to have your Taxi Company's own Tariff managed centrally.
‣You will want your driver to only do login/logout in the app and keep hands off any settings.
‣You certainly will want to see all trips done by all drivers and trace their position in real-time.
‣Additional Credit Card systems (Sumup, SIX)
Then register on our
website to create and maintain your own Tariff by copying from one of our 230 preset Tariffs and do the changes you need.
The Tariff configuration offers so many possibilities that it may seem overwhelming at first. That's why we assist you in this process. We can do the initial setup for you at no costs.
When your Tariff is setup, you will create driver profiles and cars.
App produces detailed reports about driver and car activity, like trips (with passenger or idle), other activities (shift interruption, stand-by,...), income & expenses and much more.
Those reports can be used for police controls, settlement with Company accounting and tax purposes.
