What you get

You decide the price. We handle the rest of it.

No listing fee, no monthly fee, and nothing to pay on a job you turn down.

Quote today, set up payouts later

Nothing to set up before your first quote. Add your payment details whenever you like — anything you earn in the meantime is held for you, and released the moment they are verified.

Quote in two minutes

Read the brief, set your price, send. The customer sees it the moment you hit send — there is no queue and nobody approves it first.

Discuss directly

Message the customer from the moment you quote, and answer the questions that win the job. Contact details are held back on both sides until the booking is paid, so nobody goes around you.

Price the work, not the auction

You are not bidding against a live leaderboard. Customers pick on fit, ratings and reply speed as well as price, so answer while the job is fresh and price it the way you would over the phone.

Paid automatically after the job

No invoice to raise, no statement to reconcile, nothing to chase. The customer pays Hire A Bus when they book. After the trip has run we send your share to your bank, on the schedule you choose. Your payouts screen tells you the date for each one.

The fee comes out of your price

Set the number you want for the job. Our 10% comes out of it and the rest is yours, with the full breakdown on your payouts screen for every job. Card processing costs are ours, not yours, and your share of the price is the same either way.

Paid when a customer cancels late

A cancellation inside the notice period still pays you. The amount follows the published policy, and it reaches you the same way a completed job does.

Choose how often you are paid

One payment every Wednesday covering the week behind you, with nothing deducted — or a payment per job as each one settles, for our charge of 0.25% of the payout, capped at £2. Switch whenever you like.

A price book that quotes for you

Save your prices for the routes you run often. They feed the estimate a customer sees before you have even opened the job, so the work that reaches you is work priced like yours.

Turn the inbox off

Going on holiday, or full for the month? Pause, and we stop sending you jobs until you are back. You will not be quietly marked down for not replying.

Your team, your drivers

Bring colleagues in with their own logins and the right level of access, keep your driver roster in one place, and get a nudge before a driver check runs out rather than after.

Changes handled properly

When a customer wants a later pickup or an extra stop, you see the change, you decide, and you price it. If it costs more, that is collected before the job — not argued about after it.

Connect your own software

If you run fleet software, it can collect your jobs and send your quotes for you through our API. The documentation is public, and you make your own keys.
