For private hire & minicab operators

Private hire booking software built for PHV and minicab operators

Take bookings, dispatch drivers and invoice corporate accounts from one place. TransferCRM gives UK private hire and minicab firms a booking system, a driver app and a website widget - without per-ride commission.

No per-ride fees No setup fee Driver app included

Run your private hire office without the spreadsheet chaos

Most PHV operators still juggle a phone, a whiteboard and three spreadsheets. TransferCRM replaces all of it with one system your dispatchers and drivers actually enjoy using.

Bookings scattered everywhere

Phone calls, WhatsApp, email and a website form - all landing in different places. Every job goes into one shared diary the whole office sees in real time.

Dispatch by memory

Assigning the nearest driver from memory costs you time and money. See who is free, who is on a job and who is closest, then dispatch in a couple of clicks.

Chasing corporate invoices

Account customers expect a monthly statement, not a receipt per ride. Group jobs by account, add VAT and send a professional invoice in seconds.

Everything a private hire firm needs, in one subscription

Booking, dispatch, a driver app, an online widget and invoicing - built for the way PHV and minicab operators actually work.

Bookings & dispatch

Take a job in seconds, assign the right driver and vehicle, and track every trip from booking to drop-off on one live board.

Driver app included

Your drivers get job details, navigation, status updates and proof of pickup on their phone - included on every plan, iOS and Android.

Booking widget for your website

Add an instant-quote booking form to your own site. Customers get a price and confirm - the job lands straight in your diary.

UK invoicing & VAT

Generate VAT invoices and monthly account statements in GBP, group rides by corporate client, and export for your accountant.

Flight tracking & meet-and-greet

For airport runs, track the flight and adjust the pickup automatically, with terminal, gate and name-board details sent to the driver.

Multi-brand & client portal

Run several brands from one account and give corporate clients their own portal to book, track and download invoices.

PHV compliance, carried by the system

Three licences, booking records under Regulation 11, TfL's 2024 additions, twelve-month retention — UK private hire runs on documentation. A booking system produces it as a by-product.

UK private hire runs on three licences from the same authority — operator (up to five years), driver (up to three) and vehicle (annual) — issued by your local council, or by TfL in London. Operators pass a fit-and-proper test, and since 2022 an HMRC tax check accompanies renewals. PHV work is pre-booked only: plying for hire on the street or at ranks stays reserved to hackney carriages.

The heaviest daily duty is record-keeping. In London, every booking must be recorded before the journey starts — passenger, pickup time and place, destination, fare, driver and vehicle — and since July 2024 also who took the booking, who dispatched it, the driver's PH licence number and the vehicle's DVLA registration, kept for twelve months alongside a register of booking and dispatch staff with their DBS checks. Councils outside London impose similar duties under the 1976 Act.

Accepting bookings without an operator licence is a criminal offence — in London fines reach £2,500. In practice, the difference between a smooth inspection and a problem is whether your records exist as a complete, exportable history rather than a drawer of paper.

General information, not legal advice — your licensing authority's requirements prevail; record duties outside London vary by council.

Where TransferCRM carries you

  • Every booking is born with the Regulation 11 fields — passenger, pickup, destination, fare, driver, vehicle — timestamped and kept well beyond the twelve-month duty.
  • Dispatch history records who took and who assigned each job — the exact additions TfL introduced in July 2024.
  • Licence expiry tracked per driver and vehicle (three-year and annual cycles), with reminders before anything lapses.

Private hire booking software FAQ

Is TransferCRM built for UK private hire and minicab operators?
Yes. It is designed for private hire and PHV firms - booking, dispatch, a driver app, a website booking widget and account invoicing in one place. It covers pre-booked and account work rather than metered street hail, so it fits minicab and chauffeur operations, not black-cab taximeters.
How much does it cost?
Plans start at 39 EUR per month with unlimited bookings on paid tiers, the driver app included, no per-ride commission and no setup fee. You can start a free trial and be taking bookings the same day.
Can my drivers and customers use it in their own language?
Yes. TransferCRM is available in 10 languages natively, so your office, your drivers and your booking widget can each run in the language they prefer.
Can I move over from spreadsheets or another system?
Yes. Import your clients, vehicles and price lists, set up your booking widget and go live in a day. There is no long onboarding project and no setup fee to migrate.
