In this article we describe how you can set up your 'in-app' Taxi Meter using YourDriverApp. With the use of your smartphone's GPG feature, the YourDriverApp enables you to calculate trips based on the GPS date of your phone and your created tariffs.
Meter Tariff settings
In order to activate the YourDriverApp Taxi Meter please first navigate to the 'Settings' tab and choose 'Meter Tariffs'. In this menu you can create one or more tariff settings which you can activate on your job and street pickup calculation.
Let's first describe how to create a tariff, hit the '+' sign in the Tariffs menu and create your first tariff. First name and describe your Tariff.
Then you have the option to toggle on/off the following calculation options:
Initial charge: The start charge or your job. The currency is based on your phone language/country settings.
Distance charge: Based on your phone language/country settings you can set the distance charge per km or mile.
Time charge (per minute): Here you can add your time charge per minute.
Wait time charge (per minute): Here you can add your wait time charge per minute.
Minimum fare: The minimal amount of the job fare calculation.
Maximum fare: The maximum amount of the job fare calculation.
Tax percentage: Add here the added tax percentage for your job fare calculation.
Hit 'Save' to save your tariff. Note that when on of the options is toggled on, it is used in the price calculation so make sure you have only the desired options toggled on.
