You can make the system work as Quotation system only.

At the back office > Dashboard > Settings > General price settings you can set "Show prices: No" and no price will be calculated but the available cars will be still shown on the search results page.

You will have to also go to the back office > Dashboard > Translations > English and search and edit texts like: "See price", "Book now", "Grand total".

Also, please make sure that you only have Cash payment method published at back office > Dashboard > Payment methods.

The system will send you an email on each new booking and you can reply to your customer directly to negotiate the price. Add a comment

Built for routes, capacity, and advance planning

Shuttle and minibus services aren’t simplified taxis.
They are capacity-based operations.

Routes, pickup windows, shared rides, return planning - this complexity is where generic booking systems collapse.

DriveNot supports shuttle operators who:

  • manage fixed or semi-fixed routes

  • sell shared capacity, not individual rides

  • rely on advance bookings to plan utilisation

  • need clarity long before the first pickup

Instead of working around limitations, operators use DriveNot to:

  • plan schedules ahead of time

  • price routes consistently

  • keep capacity visible and controlled

When shuttle operations are planned properly, drivers stop improvising, and clients stop asking questions.

Price calculation (price details) can be checked easily so Admins can see what is included in the Total that the customer is charged. The price calculation will include not only the Base price which is set per kilometre/mile or via Fixed fare routes but also paid Custom fields, Additional charges, "dead mileage" charges, taxes, tips etc.

To enable Price calculation debugging please go to Dashboard > Settings > General Price settings > Debug Price calculation: Yes > Save & Close

Price calculation will now be available at the front end Booking form after a Search for particular Date/time and destinations is done. Price calculation will be visible under each Car in the Cars result table but will only be visible to logged in Administrators (log in at the front end booking form - top right corner).

See video below for walk-through for Price calculation details.

Distance sectors are a flexible way to set up different charges per kilometre/mile for different trip distances. You benefit from either lowering or raising the price for longer distances by building a system that detects and compares actual trip distance with your distance sector price setup.

To set up Distance sectors go to back office > Dashboard > Cars > click on New or Edit car and scroll down to  

In the section, Distance sectors select a Cumulative or Non-cumulative type of sectors and click on the "Add new" button.

You can create Distance sectors and assign a separate price per unit distance eg. Distance From: 0 - Distance To: 5 - Price: 1 means the Price per unit distance between 0 and 5 miles/kilometres is $1 Note: To configure complex per mile/kilometre taxi fares, use "Add new" button to add new Distance Sector and "Remove" button to remove a Distance Sector. Changes will be active when you Save the General Price settings panel.

Distance Sectors fare calculator can be of two different types: Cumulative or Non-cumulative. Simply put Cumulative price will add up prices for distance sectors and the Non-cumulative price will use the price of the single distance sector the journey length falls into.

Example: create sequence of prices for trips with different length eg. 0-2 x 4 means: between 0 and 2 miles long trips price per mile is £4, 2-10 x 5 means: from 2nd to 10th mile price per mile is £5
The structure has to be as follows without overlapping of mileage (if you skip a distance the Default price will be applied if journey falls in that gap):
0-5 miles x £3
5-10 miles x £2
10-20 miles x £1.5
(do not use currency symbol as it is taken from your General Settings)
Cumulative price calculation example: If the trip is 100 miles and you have set up "Price per unit distance: 1" and distance sectors 0 to 5 miles x $2, 5 to 10 miles x $1.50 then the total will be calculated: (5 x 2) + (5 x 1.5) + (90 x 1) = Total, where (5 x 2) is 0 to 5 or 5 miles x $2, (5 x 1.5) is 5 to 10 miles or 5 miles x $1.5 and (90 x 1) is total distance 100 miles - 5+5 miles sectors = 90 miles x $1 for the rest of the journey based on your Price per distance settings.
Non-cumulative price calculation example: If the trip is 100 miles and you have set up "Price per unit distance: 1" and distance sectors 0 to 20 miles x $2, 20 to 110 miles x $1.5 then the total will be calculated: 100 x 1.5 = Total as the journey of 100 miles falls in the distance sector of 20 to 110 miles where the price is $1.5 per mile.
Note: If you use Tariffs the tariffs will be automatically pulled here with separate price for each Tariff. You can adjust those prices and Save.
