The daily performance of the VTC driver at work is not only linked to his dynamism. It also depends on the order flow and especially on the other private drivers available in his intervention area. This professional therefore needs the appropriate technologies to quickly identify customers. What are the best technologies available today to help VTC drivers? Discover them in the following lines.
American software Uber
Chauffeur-driven passenger cars (VTC) are in high demand for private transport. VTC drivers are therefore self-employed people who can make good sales if they have the right tools. In any case, this has been the case since the introduction of the American Uber program. It is one of the most well-known technologies today in the VTC universe. Whether you are looking for a VTC driver in Lille or Paris, this application is extremely effective.
It allows the VTC driver to increase his meetings with customers and above all to benefit from better rates. In any case, payment is made directly on the platform. On Uber, a trip is billed at a minimum of €6 and the VTC driver is rated by his customers. If he accumulates ratings below 4.5/5, his account is directly blocked. Better still, the application promotes private drivers who own hybrid or electric cars.
It allows them to offer Uber Green trips to improve their earnings. Very often, electric cars have a commission of €1 per trip completed. On the application, VTC drivers who complete more trips are better ranked and therefore quickly contacted by customers. What is shocking is the commission received by the platform. It is 25%. But since the rates are attractive, private drivers who work well get by.
HEETCH technology
If you are a VTC driver Brussels in Belgium, you can take advantage of HEETCH technology. This is one of the most economical applications for private drivers. It receives 18% commission on trips made compared to 22% or 25% on other platforms. This is also why many drivers sign up for it. Indeed, membership in HEETCH technology is done via email.
With a few routine formalities, the private driver is registered and can start being contacted by customers. More interestingly, the VTC driver is paid in cash or by credit card and it is up to him to pay the platform his commission. With the threats weighing on personal information on the internet, HEETCH opts squarely for anonymity. Instead of telephone numbers, numbers valid for 24 hours are used on the application.
The AlloCab Driver app
Set up at the French start-up AlloCab specializing in the field of transport technology, this application works wonders. Entirely dedicated to private drivers, it now has more than 40,000 users and around 800 drivers. As a VTC driver, it is important to install the application and register before starting to enjoy its features.
This software is combined with AirWatch tools, which allows you to access other digital transportation tools. You can benefit from:
- From the Waze community app;
- MyAirport tools;
- SNCF software for rail transport, etc.
Better yet, all trips are billed and paid for on the app. The app charges €1 per trip made by a private driver.
