How it works
How does booking a taxi on Oye.cab work?
Enter your pickup and drop-off, choose a vehicle class, and the app shows one total fare. Confirm it and the ride is offered to drivers in your service region; the first to accept becomes your driver, and you follow them on the map until they arrive.
Tell us where and when
Type both addresses or pick a fixed route. Add anything that changes the car you need — extra seats, luggage, assistance — and it is priced into the quote instead of argued about later.
See the fare, then decide
Distance, duration, vehicle class and surcharges are calculated on our servers and returned as a single amount. Apply a promo code and the discount is already in the total you are shown.
A driver accepts
Your request goes to available drivers in the region, or straight to a fleet dispatcher if you are booking through an operator. You get the driver, the vehicle and a live position on the map.
Ride, verify, done
Give the driver your trip PIN to start, chat in-app if plans change, and get an itemised receipt when the trip closes. Business accounts see it on next month's invoice instead.
Why riders stay
Small things that decide whether you book again
Watch the car come to you
Once a driver accepts, their position updates live on your map, and the trip status moves with them: heading to pickup, arrived, on the way, completed.
Get in the right car
Every trip has a personal PIN. The driver cannot start the trip until the code matches, so you always know the car at the kerb is the one you booked.
Message without swapping numbers
In-app chat is scoped to the trip, so you can say "I'm at the side entrance" without giving out a phone number. Messages are cleared on a retention schedule.
Pay by card or cash
Card payments run through Stripe; cash is available where the region allows it. Business accounts skip payment at booking and settle on a monthly invoice.
Share the trip, not your login
Send a read-only link and whoever you send it to can follow the route and the arrival, without an account and without seeing anything else.
One platform, four seats at the table
Who Oye.cab is built for
The same booking runs through four different products, so a ride booked by a company assistant, driven by a fleet driver and invoiced monthly is still one trip with one record.
Riders and guests
Fixed fares, live tracking, trip PINs, in-app chat and receipts — with or without an account.
Drivers
Pick work from an open marketplace, publish your agenda, hire your car out by the day, and see every payout.
Taxi operators
Invite your own drivers, dispatch work to them directly, and keep company documents current in one console.
Business accounts
Staff book without a company card; everything lands on one monthly invoice with a line per trip.

Questions
The things people ask first
Short answers to the questions that come up before a first booking. Thefull FAQ covers fares, drivers, business accounts and data deletion.
How do I book a taxi with Oye.cab?
Enter your pickup and drop-off address in the app, pick a vehicle class, and you are shown the full fare before you confirm. Once you confirm, the ride is offered to available drivers in your service region and you are notified as soon as one accepts.
Can I book a taxi without creating an account?
Yes. Guest booking lets you request a ride with just the details needed to complete it, at the same fixed fare as an account holder. You still get trip tracking and a receipt. An account is only required for features that need history, such as saved trips and promo balances.
Can I book a ride in advance?
Yes. Rides can be booked ahead of time rather than only on demand, and day-hire reservations let you book a vehicle and driver for a longer block. For a reservation, the driver approves the request first, then you pay to confirm it.
How is the fare calculated?
The fare is calculated on our servers from the driving distance, the estimated duration, the vehicle class you choose and any surcharges that apply to your requirements. The result is one total shown before you book. The app never calculates or adjusts the price itself.
Is the price I see the price I pay?
Yes. The quote you accept is the fare for the trip. It does not move with traffic, waiting time or the route the driver takes. The only additions are charges you trigger yourself, such as a cancellation fee or a change made after the trip is under way.
Which payment methods can I use?
Card payments are processed through Stripe. Cash is available where the service region allows it. Business accounts do not pay at booking at all; their rides are collected on a monthly invoice instead.
How do I know I am getting into the right car?
Every trip has a personal PIN shown in your app. The driver has to enter or confirm the matching code before the trip can be started, so a car that cannot complete the check is not your booking. Vehicle and driver details are shown before pickup as well.
Where does Oye.cab operate?
Oye.cab operates in the Netherlands, with the company based in Wolvega, Friesland. Bookings are validated against the geofenced service area they fall in, so a pickup outside a live area cannot be booked. Additional regions are being prepared.
How do I become a driver on Oye.cab?
Create a driver account in the app and follow the onboarding steps. You add your vehicle, upload the documents required in your service region, and wait for verification. Once your profile is complete and approved, rides in your region become visible to accept.
How does a business account work?
Once your company is approved, staff book rides without paying at checkout. Rides open for drivers immediately and are collected on one monthly invoice, delivered as a PDF with each trip as its own line for reconciliation.
Can a taxi company use Oye.cab with its own drivers?
Yes. Taxi operators get a console for their own fleet: invite drivers, assign work to a specific driver, and manage company documents and vehicles. Everything the operator sees stays inside the service regions they are approved for.
How do I delete my account and data?
You can request deletion of your account and related data directly from the app if you can sign in. If you cannot, email contact@oye.cab from the address on the account and we will handle the request.
