Let the fare follow the journey—just like a traditional taxi meter
For trips where flexibility matters more than fixed pricing, metered pricing allows fares to be calculated during the ride. Ideal for on-demand services, this approach reflects real-time conditions instead of pre-set estimates.
How it helps your business
Enables pricing for trips where the final route or duration is unknown at booking time
Ideal for operations where fares are determined during the ride instead of beforehand
Supports workflows where drivers control or input the final fare after completion
Allows flexibility for open-ended trips (multiple stops, waiting, detours)
Aligns with traditional taxi operations where pricing is finalized post-trip
How it works
A booking comes in—either through your Web Booker or entered manually by your operator. Unlike fixed pricing, no fare is locked at this stage.
The job is created and assigned to a driver without a predefined price
The driver starts the trip and uses a taxi meter or follows standard local fare rules
During the ride:
The fare increases based on distance, time, waiting time, and applicable surcharges
Any real-world factors—traffic, route changes, delays—are naturally reflected in the meter
At the end of the trip:
The driver reads the final meter value
This amount is entered into the system through YourDriverApp
The recorded fare becomes the official trip price for that job
This ensures pricing is:
Accurate to the actual journey, not an estimate
Aligned with local taxi regulations or meter standards
Flexible enough to handle unpredictable routes or conditions
In short, the system tracks the job—while the meter determines the truth of the fare.
