Specialist Services: Taxi and Private Hire

With 92% of the adult population holding a debit card or credit card*, being able to accept card payments is essential for any business providing services to the public and taxi journeys are no exception.

For any taxi or private hire business, taking cards could bring many benefits:

• Get more fares – if customers know they can pay by card they are more likely to take your cab.
• Stop losing business - you won’t miss out on fares as customers won’t have to rely on having enough cash on them.
• Attract more customers - you can accept all major debit, credit and American Express cards from all types of passengers including tourists and corporate clients.
• Improve cashflow – your bank account is usually credited in 4 working days.
• Simplify procedures - your banking becomes automated, making procedures simpler and faster.

Wherever you need to take payment for fares (and in some cases tips) and no matter what size of fleet you have, we have a range of solutions to allow you to accept card payments.
