Private Hire Softwarefor Zurich
Private hire (PHV) dispatch software for Zurich: licensing-aware, cloud, and mobile-first.
Private hire is a compliance business as much as a transport one. Miss a driver's licence expiry or fail to show who dispatched a job, and it isn't a bad review — it's your operator licence on the line at the next audit.
Private Hire Software in Zurich runs on TaxiDex — cloud dispatch software trusted by taxi, limo and private-hire fleets across dozens of cities worldwide.

The state of private hire software in Zurich
Why private hire software looks nothing like it did five years ago
Private hire is the fastest-growing licensed transport segment — and the most heavily policed. In England alone, more than 260 separate licensing authorities each set their own standards, drivers must hold enhanced background checks that are re-verified on a rolling basis (every six months via the update service), and enforcement increasingly targets out-of-area operating and lapsed licences. A single expired badge, insurance certificate or missing dispatch record is not just a fine — it is a threat to the operator licence the entire business runs on. Software that tracks every driver and vehicle document to its expiry date and logs exactly who dispatched what, and when, turns compliance from a standing liability into a system that protects the licence.

The hard parts
What actually makes private hire software hard — and how TaxiDex handles it
An expired driver or vehicle licence slips through and puts your operator licence at risk.
Document and licence expiry tracking flags every renewal well before it lapses.
Regulators expect a record of exactly who dispatched what, and when.
Every operator and dispatcher action is logged with a tamper-evident audit trail.
Account customers want credit terms and statements, not a card charge per ride.
Account/credit billing issues periodic statements and handles B2B customers cleanly.
Enforcement increasingly targets out-of-area operating and 'licence shopping' across the 260+ separate authorities.
Every driver, vehicle and licensing area is on record with an audit trail, so you can prove compliant operation on demand.
Rolling six-monthly DBS re-checks and insurance renewals are easy to let lapse.
Credential tracking flags every re-verification and expiry before it lapses — not after a spot check finds it.
Built for Zurich
Private Hire Software that fits how Zurich operates
Running a fleet in Zurich has its own rules. TaxiDex is cloud private hire software tuned for the local market — not a generic tool bolted on.
Local market
What to know about private hire software in Zurich
The market realities that shape how a Zurich fleet should set up dispatch, pricing and compliance.
Switzerland regulates taxis canton-by-canton, so Zurich issues its own Taxibewilligung with rules distinct from neighbouring Geneva or Basel.
TWINT, the Swiss bank-owned mobile payment app, is ubiquitous domestically and increasingly the expected cashless option alongside high-value CHF cash.
Zurich taxi tariffs are among the highest in Europe, and only specially permitted taxis may use the official ranks at Zurich Airport.
Regulator / licensing: Canton and City of Zurich taxi ordinance (Taxibewilligung); Switzerland has no single national taxi law. TaxiDex tracks the driver and vehicle documents it requires and alerts you before any expire.

How do I switch my Zurich fleet to TaxiDex without downtime?
We migrate your drivers, vehicles, customer accounts and live bookings from your current system (Autocab, iCabbi, Cordic or spreadsheets), run both in parallel during a 14-day proof-of-concept, then cut over. Pricing is a simple per-driver rate (from £7/driver a month) — at least 20% cheaper than Autocab, iCabbi and Cordic, with a low one-time setup.
Switching
Moving off Autocab, iCabbi, Cordic — or a pile of spreadsheets
Most Zurichoperators aren't starting from zero — they're locked into a legacy dispatch system with steep per-driver fees, heavy setup charges, an on-prem server to babysit, and a contract that makes leaving feel risky. TaxiDex is built for the switch: it's cloud (no server), priced per driver but at least 20% cheaper than Autocab, iCabbi and Cordic — with no trip overage and no lock-in — and we run your old system and TaxiDex side by side during a 14-day proof-of-concept — so you cut over only once it's proven on your real jobs.
