A new app launched by Cabbidder promises to help taxi and private hire drivers boost income by reducing dead mileage, with no charges to drivers or operators.
The app, which became available this week, allows drivers to pick up extra jobs along their routes, including passenger bookings, parcel deliveries and document transfers. The system works without subscriptions, commission or platform fees, allowing drivers to retain the full value of any job they accept.
Cabbidder says the tool is designed to address a long-standing problem in the trade — vehicles travelling empty after drop-offs or between pickups. With the app, drivers can now access a pool of jobs tailored to their current location or route, maximising efficiency and earning potential.
The app also opens up work opportunities beyond a driver’s usual operating area, helping operators expand their reach while increasing choice for passengers and local businesses.
A key part of the platform is its document and parcel delivery function. Cabbidder says this gives drivers a steady flow of small jobs in both urban and rural areas, while customers get access to a fast, flexible and secure alternative to traditional courier services using licensed taxi and private hire drivers.
Cabbidder is now expanding its network and is inviting both drivers and operators to join the platform.
Matt Young, Founder of Cabbidder, said: “Dead mileage has always been one of the most frustrating issues for drivers. With Cabbidder, drivers can make every journey count, and they keep 100% of what they earn — there are no subscriptions, fees, or commission. At the same time, passengers and businesses benefit from faster, more flexible transport and delivery options. It’s a win-win.”
