Laoud Driver is the app for professional private hire drivers working with Laoud in mainland France. The same account works in the Laoud passenger app.
PAYMENT
Customers pay you in cash or by credit card (or Apple Pay on iPhone). Enable bank transfers in the app to receive card payments directly into your bank account.
BECOME A LAOUD DRIVER
Create your account, then upload your documents through the app: professional private hire driver's license, driver's license, ID, insurance certificate, vehicle registration document, company registration certificate (Kbis extract or business registration), and a photo of your vehicle. The Laoud team will review your application; if a document is rejected, the reason will be displayed, and you will need to submit a new one. The app will notify you before a document expires.
GOING ONLINE
The home screen displays your location on the map. Swipe to go online, and swipe again to stop. You work whenever you want. Offline, no rides are offered and no location is transmitted.
RECEIVE A RIDE
An offer appears with the price, pickup location, destination, distance, and duration. Accept or decline with a tap. You only receive rides in your categories that match your equipment (pets allowed, child seat, luggage, adapted vehicle). A badge indicates airport pickups, showing the terminal and arrival time.
BOOKINGS
Accept scheduled rides in advance and find them in your bookings.
DRIVE
Open the route in Waze or Google Maps. Indicate your arrival time, enter the customer's 4-digit code, then start and end the ride. The customer sees your license plate and your arrival time on their map; you can call or text each other in the ride messages.
YOUR EARNINGS
View your earnings daily and weekly, the number of rides, and your online time. The monthly statement details what has been billed and paid, along with your receipts.
YOUR ACCOUNT
Photo, vehicle, categories, equipment, documents, preferred navigation app, sounds and notifications, dark mode, French or English. Have a question? Message the Laoud team from the Messages tab.
BACKGROUND LOCATION
When you're online, Laoud Driver transmits your location, even when your screen is off, to suggest nearby rides, show your car (within 100 meters) to passengers in the area, and show your arrival to the customer. A persistent notification indicates this. It stops as soon as you go offline. Continuous background location tracking consumes more battery: plug in your phone while driving.
REQUIREMENTS
You need a valid private hire driver's license, insurance covering passenger transport, and a compliant vehicle. The service is reserved for adults.
