How to get corporate accounts for a taxi company

Companies that book taxis on account want three things: one monthly invoice with every ride itemised, control over who can book and which cost centre pays, and pick-ups that happen on time. Find them among the businesses you already drive for, pitch billing and reliability rather than price alone, and agree payment terms in writing.

Who buys taxi accounts?

Any organisation that sends people somewhere regularly: offices with visiting staff, hotels, hospitals and clinics, law and accountancy firms, event venues, universities and schools. Start with the ones whose staff already ride with you and pay by card.

What do corporate account customers ask for?

Control and paperwork. They want named people who may book, rates agreed in advance, every ride on one monthly invoice, and a file their finance team can load into an expense system without retyping.

  • Per-account rates, cost centres and authorised bookers
  • A monthly invoice listing reference, date, passenger, pick-up, drop-off, fare and cost centre for every ride
  • A spreadsheet export for Concur or Expensify
  • Someone to call when a pick-up goes wrong

These are standard in TaxiDex corporate accounts and expense exports.

How do you pitch a taxi account?

Keep it to one page and one meeting.

  1. Show a sample invoice and export with their own recent rides.
  2. Explain how bookings are made (phone, web form, app) and who can make them.
  3. Give your on-time record from your booking data, if you track it.
  4. Offer a one-month trial on account terms.
  5. Name one contact for problems.

What terms should a taxi account agreement cover?

Payment terms and credit limit, prices and when they can change, waiting time and cancellation charges, who may book, how disputes are handled, and how passenger data is protected.

Frequently asked questions

How do I invoice account customers?

Monthly, with every ride itemised. In TaxiDex the rides accumulate against the account and become an itemised invoice at month end.

Should I give account customers a discount?

Only in exchange for something you can count on, such as volume or quick payment; billing and reliability usually matter more to the buyer than a few per cent.
