Taxi Fleet & Dispatch Payment Solutions in Australia

As Australia’s point-to-point transport sector evolves, taxi networks and fleet operators are increasingly turning to integrated, digital-first solutions to streamline their operations. From real-time driver monitoring to seamless fare collection, the future of taxi dispatch hinges on unified platforms that prioritise compliance, visibility, and cost-efficiency.

The Shift Toward Digital Dispatch Integration

Historically, taxi dispatch systems operated in silos—separate from payment platforms, driver onboarding, and fleet management tools. Today, leading providers like CabFare are closing that gap with offerings that integrate dispatch data directly with EFTPOS terminals and mobile payment apps. This unlocks valuable benefits for fleets:

• Live driver activity tracking

• Automated fare reconciliation

• Improved payment settlement speed

• Reduced operational downtime

For large networks, integrating dispatch with payment processing allows central control over fare validation, surcharge enforcement, and daily takings.

CabFare’s Tailored Fleet Offerings

CabFare is a standout in the Australian market, offering two core products to suit different fleet models:

1. CabFare EFTPOS Terminal

   A heavy-duty, in-vehicle device built for taxis and limousines. Features include:

   • Built-in printer for paper receipts

   • Long battery life for extended shifts

   • Acceptance of all major cards and digital wallets

   • Zero monthly rental fees

   
   

2. CabFare Tap to Pay App

   A smartphone-based solution compatible with Android and iOS, ideal for fleets seeking a hardware-free setup. Benefits include:

   • 5-minute setup

   • Digital, taxi-compliant receipts

   • Real-time earnings tracking

   • Instant payouts and compliance across all states

Both options are fully compliant with transport regulations in VIC, NSW, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, NT, and ACT, making them suitable for multi-state operations .

Why Dispatch-Linked Payments Matter

Integrating dispatch with payment systems doesn’t just reduce admin work—it also boosts transparency. Fleet managers gain a full view of:

• Completed trips and fares collected

• Driver performance and earnings

• Disputes or declined payments

• Chargeback protection and audit trails

Solutions like CabFare Connect, the company’s new integration layer, allow networks to connect any dispatch provider with any payment method—without being locked into specific hardware or terminals.

Key Benefits for Taxi Networks

For networks managing dozens—or hundreds—of drivers, digital payment platforms offer significant advantages:

• Real-time oversight of all driver transactions

• Flexible payouts via centralised portals

• Full surcharge and compliance enforcement

• Reduced missed fares with more payment options for riders

• Minimal support load thanks to a driver-friendly app and support centre

With over 16 years of experience, 30+ million trip payments processed, and more than 5,000 drivers supported, CabFare has emerged as a trusted partner for Australian fleets looking to modernise .

By offering a compliant, integrated payment infrastructure that links directly with dispatch operations, it’s helping fleets future-proof their operations and simplify the journey—from the back office to the back seat.
