Taxi Drivers card machine questions
Does it work down side streets with poor signal?
Yes. It runs on 4G rather than relying on the passenger's phone, so it stays connected in most areas.
Can it last a full night shift without charging?
Yes. The battery covers a full 12 hour shift, from an early airport run through to a late rank pickup.
What if I don't drive some weeks?
There's no minimum monthly service charge, so a week off the road for an MOT or holiday costs nothing.
How quickly does fare income land in my account?
Payments settle the next working day, including Saturdays, so weekend night fares pay out promptly.
Is the rate different for short fares versus airport runs?
No. It's a flat 1.25% on Visa and Mastercard whether the fare's £7 or £45.
