Cheapest chauffeur dispatch software UK: a real 2026 pricing breakdown

Every vendor says they are "affordable." Almost none publish real prices. Here is a genuine 2026 pricing table for UK chauffeur dispatch software, with the trade-offs behind each number.

"Request a quote" is the industry standard for chauffeur dispatch software pricing. That is not an accident — it lets vendors price against your fleet size and how motivated you look.

This post does what most vendor sites will not: publish the actual numbers, and explain the trade-offs behind each one.

Prices are best available from public pricing pages as of 2026. Where a vendor does not publish, we mark it "Quote" and share what operators typically report.

What "cheap" actually means

The cheapest headline number is almost never the cheapest total cost. Four hidden costs bite operators after they have signed:

Setup fees. US-headquartered platforms typically charge a one-time setup fee that is not shown on the entry-tier price. This is where £0 vs £500–£2,000 shows up.
Per-vehicle add-ons. A £99 base plan can double or triple once you add vehicles.
Website & booking widget as an extra. Some vendors sell the dispatch tool and then quote separately for the customer-facing booking website. Chauffix includes it.
Support hours mismatch. US-hours support means a 3am call for you when it goes wrong on a Saturday night.

Total cost of ownership: 5-vehicle fleet, year one

Rough all-in estimates including setup, base subscription, and website:

Chauffix small fleet: £149/mo × 12 = £1,788 total
Chauffeur Drive Systems: ~£3 × 5 × 30 × 12 = ~£5,400 + setup ≈ £5,500+
Limo Anywhere (US-tier): ~$99–$250/mo depending on vehicles + setup, ≈ £2,500–£4,000+ at typical exchange rates
iCabbi / Autocab / Cordic: Enterprise; usually £5,000+ year one with implementation

The cheapest year-one option for a small UK chauffeur firm, on paper today, is Chauffix. That is not marketing — it is arithmetic based on published prices.

When cheap is the wrong optimisation

You should not pick chauffeur dispatch software on price alone. Two situations where "cheapest" is a trap:

You need heavy affiliate/farm-in from US operators. Pay for Limo Anywhere; you will earn it back in affiliate volume.
You run 100+ vehicles across depots. iCabbi or Autocab''s enterprise features are worth it at that scale.

For everyone else — the 1–20 vehicle UK chauffeur operator — flat, published pricing is a legitimate advantage.

FAQ

Why do most vendors not publish prices?

Because sales-led pricing lets them charge more to operators who look established, and less to operators they think will walk. Published pricing is a commitment to charging everyone the same rate.

Is £49/month really enough for a solo chauffeur?

Yes. The £49 solo plan includes the booking website, dispatch board, driver PWA, SMS/web-chat inbound, and card payments via Stripe. It is not a stripped feature tier — it is a fleet-size tier.

What am I giving up by picking the cheapest option?

Usually: enterprise features you do not need. What you should never give up is UK compliance (VAT, TfL, ULEZ) or a modern booking site. Chauffix keeps those and drops the enterprise weight.

Do any of these cheap options charge per booking?

None of the vendors in the table above take a per-booking commission on their standard plans. That is a good baseline to demand — walk away from anyone who wants a percentage of your revenue.

Is there a free chauffeur dispatch tool?

Not one that would run a real business. The "free" tools you will see are usually free trials, free tiers with 5-booking limits, or hobby projects with no support. For an operator taking real bookings, the cheapest viable tier is around £49/month.
