Guide · Taxi software

Taxi software that carries your whole business – not just solves one problem.

Taximeter here, paper slips there, billing somewhere else? Good taxi software brings vehicle, driver and office together in one system – legally compliant from the first journey. Here is how to choose correctly, and how starksoft does it.

The checklist: what taxi software must do in 2026

Building block	Why it is mandatory or decisive
TSE archiving and DSFinV-TW	Legal basis of every business, since 2026 without exception. Without an audit-ready export, additional tax estimates loom. More on the TSE obligation
Driver app	Shifts, journeys, digital receipts and working time directly on the smartphone. One device for everything, no paperwork. To the driver app
Telematics	Open and close the vehicle via app, keep an eye on location and condition, replacement vehicle without a key handover. To telematics
Billing	Shift and driver settlement from real journey data, export for tax advice and payroll.
Working time recording	MiLoG-compliant documentation that is created alongside the shift. To working time recording
E-invoicing and patient transport	Growth areas: XRechnung and ZUGFeRD for business customers, billing under § 302 SGB V with the health insurers. E-invoicing · Patient transport

The real question is not whether there is a tool for every task, but whether the data is captured once and arrives everywhere. Isolated solutions mean double maintenance and gaps at audit time.

Simple means: ready in minutes

“Simple taxi software” is not a question of fewer functions, but of how easy it is to get started.

Register online, add vehicles – TSE archiving runs automatically.
Drivers download the driver app. The shift starts at the taximeter and the app recognises it by itself – no training day needed.
The office sees everything in one view: journeys, receipts, working times, fiscal data, exports.
Grows with you: from the sole operator to the fleet with several locations, same platform, tiered plans.

Frequently asked questions about taxi software

What must taxi software be able to do?

A legally compliant basis (TSE, DSFinV-TW, receipts, working time) plus efficiency (driver app, telematics, billing, e-invoicing) – in one system rather than in separate tools.

Is there free taxi software?

For partial tasks, yes. As a rule, free tools do not cover the core legal obligations. The audit risk quickly makes “free” expensive.

Does starksoft work with my taximeter?

With common EU taximeters from HALE, Semitron and Taxitronic via their TSE. We check your set-up free of charge – one call is enough.

Cloud or local installation?

Cloud: no server in the office, automatic updates, one data set for vehicle, driver and office. starkcenter is entirely cloud-based.

Also suitable for private hire companies?

Yes. Taxis and private hire vehicles run on an equal footing on the platform, including odometer TSE and patient transport.

What does taxi software cost?

Tiered data plans per vehicle and month: BASIS €14.90, PROFI €24.90, PREMIUM €34.90, net plus VAT, no minimum term. All details under Plans.
