Use the guidance in the right order

If you are starting from scratch, first confirm that a phone-based meter is permitted for your service. Then configure and road-test the fare, learn how estimates differ from fixed quotes, and finish the workflow with payment documentation. Drivers who already have rates can begin with the booking or receipt guide.

What these guides do not replace

Transport, meter certification, receipt, tax, and privacy requirements vary by location. These pages explain an operational workflow; they are not legal, licensing, or tax advice. Check the applicable regulator and a qualified adviser before using any rate or document for paid passenger work.
