Back to homeTHE GETTING-STARTED GUIDE

Your first trip.
A few taps away.

Set up your meter, find your fare, and make yourself at home.

01 / GET THE APP

Start with your screen.

Download Taximeter from the App Store for iPhone and iPad, or Google Play for Android. Check the listing for current device and system requirements.

Open the app and follow onboarding. Allow the location permissions requested for metering. Your phone uses location to measure distance, so restricted access or weak reception can affect a trip.

02 / MAKE IT YOURS

A tariff for the way you work.

Create a tariff and set its currency and distance unit. Add your initial fare, minimum fare, distance rate, and idle-time settings. Define any extras you need, such as additional passengers or luggage.

You can also search shared tariffs by country and city. Review every rate before applying a tariff: shared and built-in rates may change or become outdated. Save separate tariffs for different areas or shifts, and select the appropriate one before starting a trip.

Check the details. A matching city name alone does not mean a tariff is the right one. Confirm currency, units, fees, and local requirements.

03 / MEET YOUR DASHBOARD

Your meter, in your car.

Apple CarPlay

Install Taximeter on your iPhone, complete setup on the phone, then connect it to your CarPlay-compatible car using the connection supported by your vehicle. Open Taximeter from the CarPlay app screen.

Android Auto

Install Taximeter on your Android phone and complete setup. Connect to your compatible Android Auto display using your vehicle’s supported connection, then open Taximeter from the app launcher.

Android Automotive

On a supported vehicle running Android Automotive, look for Taximeter in the car’s app store and install it directly. Availability depends on the vehicle, store, and region. Android Automotive is built into the car; it is different from projecting a phone through Android Auto.

Complete setup and make adjustments while safely parked. Controls and available features can differ between platforms, app versions, and vehicles.

04 / ON THE ROAD

Start. Drive. Finish.

With the correct tariff selected and location available, start the meter. The app measures the trip using your configured rates. Add applicable extras when it is safe to do so.

At the end, finish the trip and check the fare and details before charging. Verify unusual readings if GPS reception or device operation was interrupted.

05 / AFTER THE TRIP

The details are there for you.

Open trip history to review completed rides, including their fare, distance, and duration. Keep independent records of information required for your business, tax, or other obligations.

06 / USAGE GUIDELINES

Drive safely. Check your rates.

Set up and adjust Taximeter while safely parked. Follow road signs, traffic laws, and vehicle instructions. Avoid interactions that distract you from driving.

Taximeter is a fare calculation tool. It does not provide transportation, dispatch, passenger bookings, or reservations. It does not by itself establish compliance with local taxi licensing or metrology rules. Use approved equipment where it is required and verify your tariffs and fares.

These guidelines help explain the product. The terms of service and privacy notice provide the full conditions and information about data handling.
