A passenger gets in, the ride ends, and they reach for a card because they simply do not carry cash anymore. For independent taxi drivers without a rideshare app handling payment automatically, that moment can mean an awkward negotiation, a detour to an ATM, or a fare you never actually collect. Passengers expect to tap and go. Your payment setup should let you.
The Problem: Meter Upgrades and Card Readers Are Expensive
Fitting a taxi with an integrated card payment terminal can be a real expense, and standalone card readers still carry a transaction fee typically between 1.69% and 2.75%, plus the upfront cost of the device itself. For an independent driver working fare by fare, every percentage point and every dollar spent on hardware comes straight out of your earnings.
Tilt Pay: A Reader You Already Own
1. Tap 2 Pay, Right From Your Phone
The phone mounted on your dashboard becomes your card reader. A passenger taps their card, the fare is paid, and you are already pulling away.
2. Just 1% Per Fare
Every card payment costs a flat 1%, a fraction of what a traditional card reader typically charges, with no separate device to buy or maintain.
3. Your Earnings, In Your Own EUR or USD Account
Fares collected through Tap 2 Pay land directly in your Tilt Pay business account, ready to withdraw to your local bank whenever you need to.
