Busier Drivers.
No Monthly Fee.
Join Chesterfield Ride and put your fleet in front of thousands of local customers through the Chesterfield App. No setup fee. No software subscription. We only make money when we bring you a paying passenger.
The Problem
Why give national platforms all the control?
You already have licensed vehicles, experienced drivers, local knowledge and operational infrastructure. But customer behaviour is increasingly digital — and building all that technology yourself is expensive.
Operators already have
- Licensed vehicles
- Experienced drivers
- Local knowledge
- Operational infrastructure
Customers now expect
- Instant booking
- Live driver tracking
- Upfront estimates
- Cashless payments
- Easy scheduled rides
- Simple mobile experiences
You concentrate on running cars. We concentrate on bringing customers into them.
How The Model Works
Four steps. No booking, no commission.
Customer requests a ride
A Chesterfield App user enters their destination and requests a journey.
We find an available driver
Our dispatch system searches participating local operators for the best available driver.
Your driver accepts the job
The ride appears instantly in the Driver App and your Operator dashboard.
You complete & get paid
We record the fare, payment, earnings and settlement automatically.
No booking. No commission.
The Commercial Offer
No subscription. No gamble.
£0/month
Just

on Chesterfield Ride journeys we generate

If we don't generate you work, you don't pay us anything.
Payment processing and any applicable passenger booking/service fees are dealt with separately and transparently.

More Than Taxi Bookings
One driver network. More ways to earn.
Chesterfield Ride forms part of the wider Chesterfield App. Drivers may eventually be able to receive other local jobs when they would otherwise be waiting.
Rides
Local journeys and scheduled trips.
Food
Restaurant delivery opportunities.
Local Shopping
Delivery from participating Chesterfield businesses.
Courier
Local parcel and same-day delivery jobs.
A driver waiting for their next passenger shouldn't necessarily have to sit earning nothing.
Participating operators will be able to opt into additional services as they are launched.
The Chesterfield App Advantage
This is where Chesterfield Ride is different.
Chesterfield Ride is not being built as an isolated taxi app. It sits inside the broader Chesterfield App.
Users can discover:
And when transport is required:
We want Chesterfield Ride to become the transport layer of the Chesterfield App.
This gives participating operators access to demand generated throughout the ecosystem.
Built For Local Operators
Your business stays your business.
We don't take your existing customers.
Your existing phone bookings remain yours.
We don't charge for work we didn't generate.
Commission only applies to Chesterfield Ride generated journeys.
You stay in control of your fleet.
Manage your own drivers and vehicles.
Your operator identity remains visible.
Customers can see which licensed local operator is completing their journey where appropriate.
You can still dispatch manually.
The Operator Portal gives your dispatch team control when required.
We're building with operators — not around them.
Why Join Early?
The operators who join first should benefit most.
If Chesterfield customers start booking through Chesterfield Ride, we want those journeys going to established Chesterfield operators first.

Questions Operators Will Have
Answers, straight up.
Local Message
Built in Chesterfield. For Chesterfield.
We believe local journeys should create value locally.
Chesterfield already has experienced taxi operators and drivers. We're not trying to recreate what already exists — we're building the technology and customer network around it.
Our first choice is simple:
Work with Chesterfield's existing operators and help them win.
Let's put more customers in your cars.
See a passenger request a journey, a driver accept it and your dispatch dashboard update — live, in 15 minutes.
No setup fee. No monthly subscription. Pay only when we bring you a paying passenger.
