For 100+ vehicle PHV bases, iCabbi is the closest like-for-like competitor.

1. Limozoft — best for 1–50 vehicle chauffeur fleets

Pros

  • Flat £79–£279/mo equivalent — no per-driver seat fee
  • Month-to-month, no annual contract
  • Native iOS + Android driver app included on every plan
  • TfL PHV record-keeping with signed PDF export
  • Corporate PO billing included from Growth plan
  • 5–10 business day migration from Autocab

Cons

  • Not designed for 200+ driver PHV bases
  • No meter integration for legacy Knowledge cabs

2. iCabbi — closest like-for-like for large PHV networks

Pros

  • Multi-city network features unmatched in UK PHV
  • Cab:app consumer footprint drives inbound bookings
  • Deep integrations with UK licensing council systems

Cons

  • Annual contract with booking-fee revenue share
  • Quote-based pricing; hard to budget for smaller fleets
  • Chauffeur workflows are a taxi-first module, not a first-class citizen

See our dedicated iCabbi alternatives page for the chauffeur-first shortlist.

3. Cabsoluit — entry-level UK PHV

Pros

  • Genuinely low entry price for 1–3 vehicle bases
  • Month-to-month contracts
  • Booking widget on the base plan

Cons

  • Taxi/PHV-first product; chauffeur workflows are shallow
  • No corporate PO billing without add-on
  • Sparse case studies at chauffeur scale

4. CDS — traditional Knowledge operators

CDS remains the incumbent for Green Badge / Knowledge-based operators who need meter integration and legacy dispatch hardware. If you are a modern chauffeur brand, CDS is not the right choice — even for the same vehicle count.

5. TBMS — small-to-mid PHV bases

TBMS is a solid, unfussy choice for 10–40 vehicle PHV bases in the UK regions. If you run only PHV taxi work it competes. If any part of your revenue is chauffeur or corporate travel, look at Limozoft first.

How operators actually shortlist

  1. Confirm fleet size — under or over 50 vehicles.
  2. Confirm mix — chauffeur / executive vs pure PHV taxi.
  3. Confirm contract preference — monthly vs annual.
  4. Confirm whether corporate PO billing is a first-day requirement.
  5. Shortlist two platforms and demo both in one week.

Autocab alternatives — FAQ

What is the best Autocab alternative in 2026?+
For UK chauffeur and executive-transfer fleets of 1–50 vehicles, Limozoft is the best Autocab alternative in 2026: flat monthly pricing (£79–£279/mo equivalent), month-to-month, native driver app, and TfL-ready record-keeping. For 100+ vehicle PHV bases, iCabbi remains the closest like-for-like competitor.
Why do operators leave Autocab?+
The three reasons we hear most: annual contract lock-in, per-driver quote-based pricing that scales unpredictably, and dispatcher screens optimised for high-volume taxi work rather than chauffeur workflows (meet-and-greet, hourly-as-directed, corporate PO invoicing).
Can I migrate Autocab data to Limozoft?+
Yes. Drivers, vehicles, corporate accounts and completed-booking history all migrate via CSV. Typical migration timeline is 5–10 business days including a parallel-run weekend before cutover.
Does the alternative include a driver app?+
Limozoft ships a native iOS + Android driver app on every plan — no per-driver seat fee and no third-party dependency.
