The receipt

The receipt that gets through expenses.

A generic receipt gets a question from a finance team. A CabFare receipt is transport specific. Your passenger's expense claim goes through.

  • The driver and the vehicle
  • Your company name
  • Pickup and drop-off
  • The fare
  • A compliant tax invoice

It lands in your passenger's phone with a QR code or their email inbox as soon as the fare is paid.

Payouts

You decide when you are paid.

Daily schedule

Your fares go to your bank on a daily schedule, at no charge.

Instant payout

For when you just need your money now.

Your money reaches your bank in under 30 minutes, any day including weekends, at a small fee shown before you approve it.

The collect fare

For the passenger who will not pre-pay.

Some passengers will not read a card number over the phone. Others will not fill in a booking form.

Take it as a collect fare. They tap their card on your phone at the end of the job, and the transport specific receipt reaches them by QR code or email.
