The Truth About Becoming a Limo Driver

Simon Kalipciyan, Co-Founder & COO  |  5 min
The honest position

Being upfront now saves us both time later.

Cars on Demand already has around 1,500 drivers across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra and Darwin. New drivers join as Tier 3, and Tier 3 drivers see very little work. We fill jobs from the top down, and many drivers are ahead of you in the queue.

The drivers who actually grow with us are the ones who bring their own clients into the system and run them through RideMinder, the same platform we dispatch on. That is when you stop being a name in a queue and start being a partner.

Join the queue

Tier 3 driver
  • Wait behind hundreds of established drivers
  • Very little work handed to you
  • No client base of your own
  • No control over your income

If you want a steady run of jobs handed to you, we are probably not the answer. We would rather tell you that today.

What the partnership looks like

What the network gives you

  • National provider status from day one
  • Offload interstate or overflow jobs to other operators and earn a commission
  • Offload just 5 or 6 bookings a month and the software pays for itself
  • Booking preference from Cars on Demand once you are on the platform

What it costs

  • From $149 per month, less than most mobile phone plans
  • The return from a few offloaded bookings covers it immediately

What we expect from partners

  • Late-model premium vehicles
  • Professional service, every job. Rideshare has commoditised the ride. Service is the last differentiator we have left
  • Operators at the top of their game. Partnership preference is earned, not given
Your clients stay yours

Your client base is the most valuable thing you own. RideMinder is built to protect it.

The biggest fear for any owner operator joining a network is losing clients to it. RideMinder is engineered so that can never happen. Your data, your payments and your client relationships are locked to you and nobody else.

Your data, hosted in Australia

Your client data is held safely on AWS servers in Australia. No offshore hosting, no shared access. Nobody can see your client list but you.

Payments secured by Stripe

Every card detail is handled securely through Stripe, the payment platform trusted by millions of businesses worldwide. Card numbers are never stored on your device or anyone else's.

Phone numbers fully masked

No driver ever sees your client's real number. All calls and texts run through a secure bridge, so you can offload jobs to other operators knowing your clients can never be contacted behind your back.

Offload work with confidence. Your book of business can never be poached.
