Why do operators look for an Autocab alternative?

Autocab (GPC Software Ltd) is a long-established UK booking and dispatch provider. Its main markets are the UK and US, with customers in 33 countries. Operators reviewing it usually weigh three points:

• Ownership: Uber completed its acquisition of Autocab in April 2021, after the UK Competition and Markets Authority cleared the deal. Operators who compete with ride-hailing platforms often ask any vendor who owns it and how their commercial data is protected.
• Pricing: Autocab does not publish its prices, so budgeting a switch means asking for a quote.
• Market focus: centrals outside the UK and US may want a supplier that handles their local taximeter, fiscal and tariff rules inside dispatch.

What are the main Autocab alternatives?

1. eCabs Technologies

Dispatch and ride-hailing software built for and run on eCabs’ own taxi operation in Malta, which has competed with Bolt since 2017 and with Uber since 2022. It covers dispatch, a driver app, a passenger app in your own brand, phone and AI booking, corporate accounts, open APIs and webhooks, DATEV and SAP Business One exports, and taximeter and German TSE integration.

• Best for: established taxi centrals, co-operatives and private hire operators in Europe moving off a legacy or current system.
• Pricing: published, from €600 a month plus €0.10 per completed trip (Starter, up to 5,000 trips a month), with Professional and Growth plans above and custom Enterprise+ pricing over 30,000 trips. Unlimited dispatcher seats on every plan.
• Switching: eight stages with go/no-go gates and dates agreed after discovery; your current system keeps running until you decide to cut over.

2. iCabbi

How should you choose an Autocab alternative?

• Data export: find out what you can export from Autocab (customers, saved addresses, corporate accounts and their terms, booking history, drivers, vehicles, zones and tariffs) and ask each supplier to review a real sample export before you sign.
• Parallel running: can your current system keep running while a pilot group of drivers moves across, with a clear go/no-go decision before cutover?
• Integrations: taximeters and fiscal units, card terminals and payment provider, accounting exports such as DATEV or SAP Business One, phone numbers and automated phone booking.
• Own-brand app: is the passenger app published in your name, and does your customer data stay the property of your company?
• Pricing transparency: is there a published price, and does it scale per driver, per vehicle or per trip?
• Job sharing: if iGo work matters to you, map your job-sharing arrangements before cutover.

How do you switch from Autocab?

With eCabs Technologies the move runs in eight stages: discovery, setup, training, a pilot with a small driver group, expansion in batches, your own branded passenger app, cutover and ongoing improvement. Each stage ends with a go/no-go gate, Autocab keeps running until you decide to cut over, and each step is tested before the next one begins. Customers, corporate accounts and booking history come with you, from whatever you can lawfully and practically export.

Payment terminals, accounting exports, phone numbers, automated phone booking and job-sharing arrangements are mapped in discovery.

Operators running on eCabs Technologies include Taxi Fiume in Croatia, which moved after more than ten years on its old system, Volt in Bulgaria, TaxiNow in Germany, Blue in Romania, Taxi.gr in Greece, RooRides in Australia and eCabs in Malta.
