Fixed fares and mileage rates, priced your way

CDS prices every trip from your own tariff. Set fixed fares between your airports, stations and postcodes, fill a whole grid of prices at once, and let mileage rates cover everything else.

Minicab fixed fares by postcode

A fixed fare runs between two ends, each a place or a postcode. The postcode can be as broad or as exact as you like, and the most specific match wins.

  • A full postcode (N1 9AL), a sector (N1 9), a district (N1) or a whole area (N)
  • Both ways by default, or one way only
  • Bigger vehicles get their own price, or a % or £ uplift on the standard fare
  • Trips with stops, and anywhere without a fixed fare, are priced by mileage
  • N1 ⇄ London Stansted Airport£75.00
  • N1 9 ⇄ London Heathrow Airport£59.90
  • EC1 ⇄ London Luton Airport£70.00
  • N ⇄ London City Airport£45.00

Taxi fare software that knows airports

Airport runs come with their own costs. CDS keeps them separate from the fare.

Mileage rates

A rate per mile and a minimum fare for each vehicle type, with an example fare as you edit.

Drop-off and parking

A drop-off charge per airport, and “plus parking” when the driver waits. Passed on at cost, with no commission taken.

Account prices

Give a business customer a discount or uplift, or their own negotiated rates per vehicle type.
