Buyer's guide · Updated 2026

Best taxi dispatch software in the UK (2026)

Eight systems UK operators actually shortlist — compared on price, contract length, apps, account billing and how hard it is to leave.

Short answer: Autocab if you need the national roaming network, iCabbi if you have developers and multi-depot scale, Cordic if your bookings arrive by phone, and Limozoft if you run 3–100 vehicles and want dispatch, apps and a booking website from one supplier at a price you can read before the sales call.

Full disclosure up front: Limozoft is our own platform and it is first on this list. Every other entry is described using the pros and cons operators raise with us during migrations — including the cases where a competitor is the better answer and we say so.

How we judged each system

  • Total cost of ownership over 24 months, not the headline monthly price
  • Contract length and how hard it is to leave
  • Whether the passenger app is included or an upsell
  • Corporate account handling: rate cards, cost centres, net-term invoicing
  • Data ownership — can you export customers, addresses and history in CSV?
  • Booking channels beyond the app: web, phone/IVR and WhatsApp
  • Chauffeur and executive work: hourly-as-directed, weddings, funerals
  • Migration support and whether you can run in parallel during cutover

Frequently asked questions

What is the best taxi dispatch software in the UK in 2026?+

There is no single winner. Autocab suits large fleets that need the iGo national network, iCabbi suits API-driven operators at scale, Cordic suits phone-heavy operations, and Limozoft suits small to mid-size fleets that want dispatch, apps and a booking website from one supplier at a published price with no fixed term.

How much does taxi dispatch software cost in the UK?+

Entry-level cloud dispatch generally runs £2–£8 per vehicle per month or roughly £100–£150 per month for unlimited vehicles. Enterprise platforms such as Autocab, iCabbi and Cordic are quote-only and usually land materially higher once onboarding, hardware and support lines are included.

Do I need dispatch software for a 3-car fleet?+

Usually not for dispatch alone — three cars can be run from a phone. What a 3-car operator does need is a booking website that takes and prices jobs automatically, plus driver notifications. That is why our entry plan is a booking site with automated pricing, and dispatch becomes worthwhile from roughly 6–8 vehicles.

Can I switch dispatch providers without losing bookings?+

Yes. Export your data before serving notice, import into the new system, then run both platforms in parallel for the final week — new bookings into the new system, existing forward bookings served from the old one until they clear.

Is this list independent?+

No, and we would rather say so. Limozoft is our own product and we rank it first for the segment it actually suits — small and mid-size UK fleets. The pros and cons listed for every other vendor, including ours, are the ones operators raise with us during migrations.
