About this app

KB Cars Driver is the official app for drivers of KB Cars Ltd, a Transport for London licensed private hire operator. It connects you to the KB Cars office so you can receive work, drive and get paid — all from your phone.

This app is for KB Cars drivers. You sign in with the username and password the office gives you. New to KB Cars? You can apply to join from the welcome screen.

Earnings and payments

• Take card payments from passengers with Tap to Pay on supported phones, including an optional tip the customer adds themselves. Tap to Pay availability depends on your device and region.

Documents and profile

• Keep your contact details up to date.

Safety

Location
KB Cars Driver uses your location in the background only while you are on shift, so the office can route the nearest driver to each customer and passengers can see that their driver is on the way. Location collection stops as soon as you go off shift.

KB Cars Driver is intended for licensed drivers working with KB Cars Ltd. A KB Cars driver account is required to use the app.
