What are the cost components of shuttle dispatch software?
Most pricing pages show one number, but the bill has several parts. List each for every vendor you consider.
- One-time setup or onboarding fee.
- Monthly platform fee, either per vehicle or flat.
- Per-booking commission, where it exists.
- Add-ons such as a branded passenger app, messaging or extra users.
- Payment processing, charged by your payment provider and separate from software.
What does an owner-operator pay with Shuttle.Software?
An owner-operator with one to three vehicles is on Starter: $399 one-time to build the booking website and configure the system, then $99 a month. Year one is $399 plus twelve months at $99, which is $1,587. There is no commission on bookings and no per-driver fee.
Stripe card fees go to Stripe, not to Shuttle.Software. A branded passenger app, agent commissions and monthly invoicing arrive with Growth at $199 a month.

How do other pricing models compare?
Per-vehicle plans are predictable at three vehicles and punishing at twenty. Per-booking commission is free at zero volume and becomes your biggest line item as you grow. Flat plans are the only model where growth does not raise the bill. For named vendors and their published figures, read shuttle booking software pricing models for 2026. Vendors change prices without notice, so verify on their sites before you sign.
Which hidden costs catch owner-operators out?
The common pattern is a low entry price followed by paid extras: a second user, messaging, a branded app or a second base can each add a monthly line. Ask each vendor for a written quote covering what you will use in year one.
Also count the cost of not taking online bookings. A passenger who cannot book at 11pm usually books with someone else.
Is the price worth it?
Measure software against hours saved and bookings recovered. If the driver app, automatic confirmations and online booking save a few hours of phone work a month, or recover one extra airport run, the monthly fee is covered quickly at most fares.
