Read full description

OptiCab Driver is the companion app for drivers whose fleet runs on OptiCab. Sign in with the company code from your office and everything your fleet has switched on is in one place. Pick the jobs you want: see upcoming pre-bookings that haven't been given out yet and tap "I'll do this" on the ones you'd like. Your office sees who wants each job when they allocate it, and you get a text when it's yours. Know what you earn: see your cash, card and account takings for today, this week, this month or any dates you choose, along with your hourly rate. Where your fleet offers it, withdraw your earnings early straight to your bank. Climb the Driver League: see your tier, your rank and how many points you need to move up. The points guide shows exactly what each job earns or costs you, using your fleet's own settings. Manage your shifts: see your rota for the weeks ahead, add your availability and holidays, and put confirmed shifts straight into your phone's calendar with one tap. Everything else in one place: Complete your daily vehicle inspection with photos or a walkaround video Rate the passengers you carried in the last 24 hours Report lost property or a problem with your vehicle in seconds Set your destination preferences See your hire, dates and rent under My Vehicle The app speaks your language. Choose from English, Urdu, Pashto, Dari, Polish, Albanian, Romanian, Bengali, Arabic and Turkish, and change it any time. Your office controls which features are switched on, so the app always matches how your fleet works. Notifications keep you up to date with shift approvals, job updates and fleet messages. OptiCab Driver requires a company code from a fleet that uses OptiCab. If your fleet isn't on OptiCab yet, ask your office to visit opticab.co.uk.
