Shuttle Software Pricing in 2026: What Operators Actually Pay
Shuttle software pricing is rarely one number. It is a subscription, a setup fee, a per-booking commission, and three or four add-ons. This article puts the real 12-month totals side by side at 100, 400 and 1,000 bookings per month so you can see where the money goes.
The four layers of shuttle software pricing
Every quote you receive is built from the same four layers. Ask for each one in writing before you sign.
- Subscription — typically $99 to $499 per month depending on vehicles or users
- Setup / onboarding — $0 to $2,500 one time, sometimes billed as 'implementation'
- Per-booking commission — commonly 1% to 5% of fare value
- Add-ons — booking website, SMS credits, flight tracking, driver app seats, extra admin users
How commission scales against you
Commission is charged on your revenue, so it grows exactly as your business grows. At a $45 average fare and 3% commission:
- 100 bookings/month → $135/mo → $1,620 per year
- 400 bookings/month → $540/mo → $6,480 per year
- 1,000 bookings/month → $1,350/mo → $16,200 per year
12-month totals compared
Using 400 bookings/month at a $45 average fare, here is what year one looks like for three common pricing shapes:
- Flat-fee shuttle-first (Shuttle.Software): $99 × 12 + $299 setup + $0 commission = $1,487
- Mid-market SaaS at $199/mo with 2% commission: $2,388 + $4,320 = $6,708
- Enterprise suite at $299/mo with 3% commission and a $1,000 setup: $3,588 + $6,480 + $1,000 = $11,068
- Custom build (AllRide Apps, TechBuilder, TransferVista style): typically five figures up front plus maintenance
Where the add-ons hide
Operators are most often surprised by these four line items. Confirm each is included, not optional:
- A bookable SEO website — frequently a $100–$250/mo add-on
- SMS notifications — sometimes metered per message
- Flight tracking — occasionally a premium tier
- Additional driver or admin seats — per-user pricing multiplies fast at 10+ drivers
How to choose on price without buying the wrong tool
Cheapest is not the goal; predictable is. Score the quote on these three tests before comparing headline numbers.
- Does the total stay flat if bookings double next summer?
- Is every module in the demo included in the quoted price?
- Is there a go-live date in writing? Shuttle.Software commits to 3–5 working days.
