The custom-build pitch is freedom; the custom-build reality is a $10k+ first year, a maintenance retainer, and waiting on a developer when your rate sheet changes in high season. Shuttle.Software ships the same workflow configured, supported and continuously updated — so your capital goes into vehicles and marketing, not code.
Custom taxi/shuttle builds typically land at $6k–$20k upfront plus monthly maintenance — commonly $10k+ in year one. Shuttle.Software is $299 setup + $99/mo, $1,487 in year one with everything included.
