Frequently Asked Questions

Does CabZen charge commission on rides?

No. CabZen does not take per-ride commission from operator bookings.

What costs should I still expect?

Operators should account for the CabZen subscription, payment processor fees where card payments are used, and any optional add-ons selected.

Why does no commission matter?

It makes software cost more predictable as direct booking volume grows and helps operators protect fare margin.

Can I still accept online payments?

Yes. CabZen supports online payment workflows through supported payment providers.

Is no-commission software only for large fleets?

No. Small fleets can benefit from predictable cost just as much as larger operators.
