Applications through which taxi services are ordered allow for fast and convenient rides in many cities in Poland. Their undeniable advantages include low prices and direct contact with the driver. The application is also a convenience for the driver – working as a driver has never been so profitable! Read the article and discover the most popular apps for taxi drivers in Poland.
The most popular app for taxi drivers – Uber
The leader of the ranking is Uber – the first platform that allows ordering rides without phone contact. The American company has been operating in the market for over 14 years, proving that ordering rides through the app on the phone has immense potential. Uber still enjoys unabated popularity – the company’s services are available in over 10,000 cities worldwide.
The key to the company’s success turned out to be a user-friendly interface and clear operating rules. Simply download the special app (or log in to the website). To order a ride, you need to enter the starting and destination locations. The app then displays vehicles in the vicinity that can provide the ride. Uber’s popularity is also attributed to its fast and uncomplicated recruitment process. Today, almost anyone can become a taxi driver!
Alternative app – Bolt taxis
The biggest competitor to Uber is Bolt, an Estonian company that operates as an intermediary between drivers and customers. Bolt users also download the appropriate app and register in the system to book a ride on a chosen route. Ordering a ride follows the same principle as in Uber. After entering the starting and destination locations in the app, a list of available options is displayed.
Bolt users praise the company primarily for transparent calculation of the cost of the ride – the price is known before the start of the journey. The app takes into account the length of the shortest route from the passenger pickup location to the destination address, and the result is based on traffic intensity data and the customer’s planned number of stops. Bolt operates in approximately 30 cities in Poland, making it the second most popular app in the country.
Most popular taxi apps – Free Now
Free Now was created a little later than Uber and Bolt. Initially, the company tried to stand out from competitors by offering cooperation to drivers with a taxi license. Today, all drivers carrying passengers in Poland must have such licenses, so Free Now had to find another way to attract customer interest. The company’s main advantage is the high quality of cars.
To order rides with Free Now, you need to create an account on the website or in the app. Registration can be done using email, phone, or Facebook account. To order a ride, enter the starting and destination locations. The app calculates the route, shows available vehicles, and provides an approximate fare. Payment can be made with a linked debit card, Google Wallet, or through Apple Pay.
Taxi apps – benefits for the driver
Apps for taxi drivers offer benefits not only for passengers but also for drivers. The biggest advantages of working with Uber, Bolt, or Free Now are unrestricted working hours and clear settlement rules. The driver sets the schedule and works as much as desired. The payout depends on the number of hours worked and current multipliers. Flexible scheduling makes cooperation with apps appealing to students and those in need of additional income. Taxi drivers can also count on attractive bonuses.
How to get started?
The advantages of working as a taxi driver for popular apps include a simple and fast recruitment process. The requirements are available on the websites of Bolt or Uber. In each case, you must be at least 18 years old and have a valid driver’s license. A candidate who meets the requirements registers on the website and fills out the appropriate form. Companies respond within 1-2 business days.
When entering into cooperation with Uber, Bolt, or Free Now, you can choose two forms of employment – providing services as part of your own business or signing a contract with a trusted settlement partner. The second option is definitely faster and safer. The partner helps navigate the recruitment process and takes care of settlement issues. If the candidate does not have their own car, the company can provide one. Furthermore, by signing a contract with Avalon Logistics Group, you can collaborate with multiple companies simultaneously!
