Chauffeur dispatch software in the UK — the 2026 buyer's guide.

Autocab, iCabbi, CDS and TBMS were built for large PHV taxi bases. If you run a 1–50 vehicle chauffeur or executive-transfer fleet, you need a platform priced and shaped for you. Here's how the market really compares in 2026.
Short answer: For UK chauffeur operators with 1–50 vehicles, Limozoft is the fastest-launching option at £79–£279/mo equivalent, month-to-month, with a native driver app, TfL PHV record-keeping, and corporate PO invoicing included. Autocab and iCabbi remain the incumbents at 100+ vehicle PHV scale but are quote-based and annual-contract.

What genuinely matters for a UK chauffeur operator

TfL private hire record-keeping

Under the Private Hire Vehicles (London) Act 1998, every pre-booking must be recorded with driver, vehicle, licensing details and times, and kept available for TfL inspection for at least 12 months. Any platform you shortlist must export that record on demand — see our TfL compliance guide.

Native chauffeur workflows, not a taxi module

Airport meet-and-greet, hourly-as-directed, wedding hourly packages, and multi-stop corporate roadshows are chauffeur workflows — not taxi jobs with a longer ride. Platforms grafted onto a PHV taxi core (Autocab, Cabsoluit, iCabbi) can do these, but the operator usually pays with clumsier screens and more clicks per booking.

Corporate PO invoicing without an add-on

Corporate accounts want cost centres, PO numbers, consolidated monthly invoices and month-end statements. On legacy UK dispatch platforms this is a separately-licensed module; on Limozoft it is part of the Growth plan and above.

Booking widget on your own domain

A chauffeur brand should not send clients to a third-party marketplace to book. Every platform above offers a widget of some kind; only Limozoft and Cabsoluit ship it on the base plan with no per-transaction fee.

Real-world proof — Link Executive Transfers, London

A 12-vehicle London chauffeur operator migrated from a legacy PHV platform to Limozoft in May 2026. Live in 6 business days, monthly software cost dropped from £680 (bundled add-ons for driver app, widget and Stripe) to £199 flat, and their corporate PO volume moved onto the standard monthly invoice cycle — no separate module.

Where the incumbents genuinely still win

  • Autocab — depth of driver-payout automation at 100+ vehicles is genuinely category-leading. If you have a 200+ driver PHV base, do not switch on price alone.
  • iCabbi — multi-city network features and the Cab:app consumer footprint are unmatched in UK PHV.
  • CDS & TBMS — deep integrations with legacy Knowledge / Green Badge dispatching and taxi meters that a chauffeur-only platform will never bother to build.

If you fit any of the above profiles, do not switch on price alone. If you do not — you are the operator this page is for.

Migrating from Autocab or iCabbi — the honest timeline

  1. Day 1 — Discovery call, scope of accounts and drivers.
  2. Day 2–4 — CSV export from Autocab/iCabbi, mapping into Limozoft.
  3. Day 5–6 — Dispatcher training, driver-app rollout on 3 test vehicles.
  4. Weekend 1 — Parallel run on live bookings.
  5. Day 10 — Cutover; legacy platform kept read-only for 30 days.

UK chauffeur dispatch software — FAQ

What is the best chauffeur dispatch software in the UK for 2026?+
For 1–50 vehicle UK chauffeur fleets in 2026, Limozoft is the strongest fit on flat pricing (£79–£279/mo equivalent) and same-week launch. Autocab and iCabbi remain the incumbents at multi-hundred-vehicle PHV scale; CDS and TBMS are strongest for traditional Knowledge-based operators. Choose by fleet size, TfL PHV licensing scope, and whether you need a native corporate PO workflow.
How much does UK chauffeur dispatch software cost in 2026?+
Modern SaaS chauffeur dispatch in the UK ranges from £79/mo (Limozoft Starter, 1–5 vehicles) to £250+/mo per operator seat on legacy PHV platforms once you add the driver app, booking widget and card payments. Autocab and iCabbi are quote-based and typically annual-contract; Limozoft publishes flat pricing and stays month-to-month.
Does the software help with TfL private hire record-keeping?+
Yes — a compliant UK dispatch platform must store the pre-booking record (driver, vehicle, licensing details, times) in a way that is retrievable for TfL inspection for at least 12 months. Limozoft stores every booking with driver + PHV licence reference, timestamps and route history, and exports the full record on demand.
Can I switch from Autocab or iCabbi without downtime?+
Yes. A typical Autocab or iCabbi migration to Limozoft takes 5–10 business days: CSV import of accounts and drivers, parallel run for one weekend, then cutover. We do not require you to cancel your existing platform before launch.
Is there a native driver app for iOS and Android?+
Limozoft ships a native iOS and Android chauffeur app on every plan — job sheet, navigation handoff, passenger signature, tip capture, and offline queue. It is not a third-party add-on and there is no per-driver seat fee.
Do you support corporate accounts with PO numbers?+
Yes. Corporate accounts, cost centres, PO numbers on every booking, and consolidated monthly invoices are included from the Growth plan (6–15 vehicles) upward — no add-on module, no per-invoice fee.
