The account you are signed in with, and the first vehicle you will use.

Car, van, motorcycle or tuktuk: riders' requests go only to vehicles that fit.
Choose the Vehicle type by tapping the picture that looks like your vehicle: Car, Van, Motorcycle or Tuktuk (a three-wheeler). Give the Seats for passengers and the Trunk space: how many large suitcases it takes. A van starts at 7 seats and 4 suitcases, a tuktuk at 3 seats and 1 suitcase, a motorcycle at 1 seat and none; change them to match your vehicle. Riders can ask for a van and say how many passengers and suitcases: only a vehicle with room for them gets the request. A motorcycle needs a police clearance certificate.

Make, plate, VIN, the registered owner and the inspection checks.
Give the vehicle make, model, model year, licence plate, colour and VIN (chassis number), and tick Hybrid or Electric if it is. Under The owner, give the registered owner's address and phone as on the ownership document (yours, if the vehicle is yours). Under Inspection, give the date on the inspection certificate and tick what it found in good order: brakes, lights, tires and windshield. A motorcycle has no windshield to tick.

Take each photo with the camera, or upload one you have.
The form asks for your national ID or passport (unless it is already kept), your driving licence, a live photo of you (Open the camera: look at the camera, without sunglasses or a hat), the registration certificate, the ownership document, the insurance and the inspection certificate. A police clearance certificate is optional for a car or a van and required for a motorcycle. For each paper tap Take a photo, then Take the photo, or Upload the photo. The photos are sent before the form; if sending stops, press the button again and only what has not arrived is sent.

No commission: a membership by the hour, day, month or year.
Choose a membership: daily (24 hours), monthly (30 days), yearly (365 days), or hourly where it is offered. The price depends on your account's country and is shown before you pay. A membership starts the moment its fee is paid and runs for the whole period; fees are non-refundable. When every vehicle on your account is a motorcycle or a tuktuk, the membership costs 25% less, after the plan's discount. Taxi saab taxi takes no commission: the fare is yours. Where international card payments are not possible, and during the field test, no membership is needed.
Plans and prices →Step 6 of 12
List every vehicle you may use.
On your driver page, under My vehicles, add each vehicle you may use: its make, model, year and plate, its type, its trunk space in large suitcases and its seats. A motorcycle needs your police clearance certificate: send it from Your ID first. Tick For daily rental on a car or a van you also rent out by the day without you driving (step Rent your car out by the day). You can change a vehicle's details, type, trunk space and rental later under Profile.
My driver page →Step 7 of 12
Accept a request with a vehicle that fits it, or bid.
Keep your driver page open with Show me to nearby riders while this page is open ticked. Open ride requests list only the ones a vehicle of yours fits; a tag under the destination says when a rider asked for a van, or for more passengers or suitcases. Choose the vehicle and tap Accept. When a rider asks for bids, you see the route, the traffic and a suggested fare: send your price, and send a new one to change it while bidding is open. You need paid time left for the ride.

Take a ride booked ahead, or a car hired by the day.
Riders book rides from 1 hour to 90 days ahead. They are listed on your driver page under Bookings you can take: tap Take booking and it is yours; 30 minutes before pickup it becomes an accepted ride and you run it as any ride. You can Give it back to other drivers until then. If the rider cancels less than 2 hours before pickup, you get half of their $10 penalty. Day hires in your country are listed under Day hire, Day hires you can take: with a driver you drive the rider for whole days, for the car's rent, your time and your food a day; a self-drive hire needs a car you rent out without you. Before taking a self-drive hire, tap Check the licence and look at the rider's driving licence photo and details. Your hires are listed under My day hires. When a rider pays by card, the fare or the hire total is charged when you take it and held by Taxi saab taxi: you are paid when the ride is completed or the hire ends, and the rider gets it back if they cancel. You receive the hire total less the Taxi saab taxi admin fees, $3 from the rider and $3 from you, once per hire. In cash, you collect the total and owe both fees, settled with your next membership payment.

A car or van riders drive themselves, with you as its owner.
When you add or change a car or a van, tick For daily rental to rent it out by the day without you driving; or use Rent it out without me on your driver page under Day hire, Rent out without you. A car rented out without you must be a car or a van 10 years old or newer, and the inspection certificate for fitness must be among your papers: until then the page shows why it is not offered to riders. Riders who drive give the place to return the car. Keep comprehensive insurance that covers the car while you are not driving it, or take the risk yourself: Taxi saab taxi sells no insurance and is not responsible for any damage or loss in car rentals (Member agreement, Renting cars).

Slide to start, slide to end, and the meter does the rest.
The rider taps We are in the car when they are inside; until then you cannot start. Slide Start ride to the end (a tap does nothing) and keep the ride's page open: the phone's GPS measures the trip, and the meter keeps running on the phone if the signal or the server drops. At the destination slide to end the trip: the meter's fare, which you cannot change, plus any tolls, fees and extras with what they are for. On a card ride the rider is asked to agree, within 3 minutes, or 30 seconds in a busy area, busy hours or heavy traffic; with no answer in time the total, the fare and your extras, is charged. If they disagree, your payment of that fare is held until Taxi saab taxi resolves the dispute. Cash is settled face to face.

You may refuse danger, but never leave a rider in it.
Report a traffic accident, hazard, bad weather, heavy snow, political turmoil, riots or a road closure with Report a road event. Dangers to life near you flash on your screen, and a request near one is marked: you may skip it, with no penalty. During a trip tap Unsafe, take another way: the safe route around the danger is drawn on the map, with Navigate the safe route, and the nearest safe places are listed (police, hospital, fire station, bus or train station). Keep your phone sharing the car's position until the trip ends: a sample of where the trip goes is kept about once a minute, and if your phone sends nothing for 3 minutes, or you end the trip more than 1 km from the destination, the last known place of the car and of the rider is recorded. You may not leave the rider in a danger area: a trip cannot end inside one unless the rider taps I am safe here, so bring them to a safe place where they can get help and find transport. You are paid for your time and your car: on a fixed price or a bid, a trip that takes the safe route or ends at a safe place is charged by the meter. If the rider cannot pay it all, they pay the booked price and owe you the rest within 3 days; when they pay you, tap The rider paid me the rest on the ride's page.

Cash fares are yours; choose how Taxi saab taxi pays you.
Cash fares go to you in full. Under Payment methods, How you get paid starts as cash from a Taxi saab taxi agent; you can add a bank account, mobile money, or a method of your own (Other), which Taxi saab taxi reviews before it can be used, and choose the default. During the test, bank accounts cannot be added yet. My earnings shows the trips you served on any day. Where riders pay the taxi calling fee in cash you collect it for Taxi saab taxi; it is settled with your next membership payment, and above the limit you cannot accept new rides until it is. The same goes for the admin fees of a day hire paid in cash.
