Frequently asked questions

View all FAQs →
What does no commission actually mean?

CabZen never takes a percentage of any fare. You pay a flat monthly subscription and keep the full amount your customer pays, whether that is a five pound local run or an eighty pound airport transfer.

How is that different from Uber or Bolt?

Those are marketplaces that supply you with work and take a cut of each job in return. CabZen is software you run your own business on. The customers are yours, the pricing is yours, and none of the fare comes to us.

So how does CabZen make money?

From the monthly subscription, and from optional add-ons such as extra booking brands, branded apps and email top-ups. That is the whole model, which is why the cost stays the same whether you have a busy month or a quiet one.

Does my bill go up if I take more bookings?

No. Bookings are unlimited on both plans, so a record month costs exactly the same as a slow one. The only thing that changes your bill is how many drivers you have and which add-ons you choose.

Are there hidden transaction fees?

Not from us. If you take card payments, your payment provider such as Stripe, Square or Mollie charges their own processing fee, which goes to them and not to CabZen. Cash and account work carries no fee at all.

What happens to the customers I bring in?

They are yours. Because they book on your own page rather than a shared marketplace, their details sit in your account and their relationship is with your business. You are not renting access to your own customer base.

Can you change to a commission model later?

Flat pricing is the basis of the product rather than an introductory offer. Any pricing change would come with notice under our terms, and you are on a month to month subscription, so you are never locked in.

How much would I save against a commission model?

It depends entirely on your turnover, which is rather the point. A commission is a percentage that grows as you do, whereas a flat subscription stays flat. The busier you are, the wider that gap becomes.
