The Taxi & Limo Fix Kit
Built for taxi and limo operators.
In car service, the meter or the quote is only half the story. The other half is the time and miles nobody bills: the 40 minutes waiting at arrivals, the drive back to the garage, the toll on the way to the pickup, the client who cancelled after you were already rolling. Add a card fee and an insurance renewal and a good-looking month can leave little. This kit puts every one of those on paper.
