What You Get

Access to international orders, 24/7 support, and payouts twice a month.


Step 1. Collect Documents and Data

Company details

  • Full name of the authorised executive (for contract signing)

  • Executive’s e-mail (to receive the contract)

  • Manager’s e-mail (responsible for orders and communication)

  • Manager’s phone number (for urgent issues)

  • Contact for pricing

  • Company registration address

Payment details (choose one option)

  • SEPA (Europe): Account holder, account holder’s registration address, IBAN, SWIFT

  • SWIFT (International): Account holder, account holder’s registration address, IBAN, SWIFT

  • Payoneer: E-mail registered with Payoneer (USD only)

The bank account must be in your company’s name. Alternatively, the account holder must be the same person listed on the registration document (licence).

Required documents

  • Extract from the official register (or link to the online register)

  • Licence/permit to provide transport services (all vehicles)

  • Passport/ID of the authorised signatory with specimen signature

  • Passenger & vehicle insurances (all vehicles) + public liability insurance

  • Vehicle registration certificate for each car

Fleet and driver data

  • For each vehicle: make/model, year, class, capacity (pax/luggage), VIN/registration plate, A/C availability, photos

  • For each driver: full name, contacts, photo, language(s), experience, acknowledgement of service standards


Step 2. Get Access and Add Your Fleet

Create roles for the service head and dispatchers; add drivers and vehicles.

Check class and SLA compliance (Economy/Comfort/Minibus — usually up to 7 years; Business/Premium — stricter, up to 5 years, extended features).

Use the Cars section in the Partner Dashboard and the vehicle classes guide to avoid misclassification: https://kiwitaxi.com/agent.php/help/classes-of-vehicles.


Step 3. Complete a Short Onboarding (30–60 minutes)

  • We’ll show how to use the Partner Dashboard and answer questions.

  • Dispatcher: assigning drivers, monitoring statuses, escalating to Support when deviations occur.

  • Driver: contact the client 24 hours before pickup; meet strictly at the voucher meeting point; nameplate; help with luggage. If the client doesn’t respond: call; if still unreachable — message Support.

  • Driver App: orders, statuses, geolocation, convenient No-Show registration.


Step 4. Set Prices and Routes

Two ways to start:

  • Manual setup — set a price for each route.

  • Bulk prefill — quickly set starting prices that maximise orders (you can adjust later).

Pricing rules

  • The price is per transfer; it does not depend on day/time/payment method.

  • Included: meeting with a nameplate; paid waiting — 90 min at airports (+ 30 min added to flight delay) or 15 min from rail/bus stations, piers, hotels; toll roads/tunnels/borders/paid hub entries; water taxi if part of the route.

  • Prices for add-ons (child seat, water, ski equipment, etc.) are set separately in the Partner Dashboard.

If you can’t perform a route — disable it in Pricelist by marking X for that route.

If you can’t provide a specific class on a route, disable that class in the dashboard.


Step 5. Receive Your First Order

Orders are assigned automatically: an up-to-date fleet and a high rating increase your share of requests.

  • Maximum time to accept or decline an order: 12 hours.

  • You can cancel an accepted order only within 10 minutes from acceptance.

  • Check the voucher: meeting point, comments (e.g., “No flight tracking”), time accuracy, add-ons.

  • Print a meeting sign with the logo and passenger name — or download to a tablet.


Step 6. Airports & Waiting (How to Count)

  • Delay < 30 minutes: waiting start shifts by the delay duration.

  • Delay > 30 minutes: waiting starts 30 minutes after the scheduled arrival; total waiting — up to 90 minutes.

  • Early arrival: agree a new meeting time with the passenger and Support.

  • Flight cancellation: prepare documents to register a No-Show.


Step 7. No-Show & Incidents (What and When to Send)

If you couldn’t meet the passenger:

  1. Contact the passenger at the start of the waiting period.

  2. Inform Kiwitaxi Support.

  3. Within 3 business days, send proofs: GPS report; screenshots of calls/chat (number, date, time); photo with the nameplate at the meeting point showing local time; optionally a parking ticket or confirmation from the hotel/airport.

SLA & discipline: check e-mail daily; provide incident information within 72 hours. Repeated violations/ignored requests reduce your rating and order flow and may lead to termination of cooperation.
