Turn previously empty return trips into profits and edge out your ride-sharing service competitors!

COMPETING IN AN UNFAIR AND UNEVEN PLAYING FIELD

It’s time that taxi drivers acknowledge that they are operating in a very uneven playing field… and the only way forward is to do something different.

"The definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.”
~Albert Einstein

Change is required and we will turn the tables on the ride-share companies by giving the taxi industry a competitive advantage with new dynamic, competitive pricing without hurting our hail and rank advantage with the business professionals who are less price-conscious.

Many professional drivers drive back empty from profitable trips, creating an opportunity to offer a cheaper service to returning destinations than their amateur freelance competitors.

The Destarny Set-Fare Booking option set by the consumer potentially makes the Destarny service the cheapest private hire car service on the market.

With Destarny, we can put a smile on more passengers and make more money in the process.

Equals Make Best Friends

Not everybody in the taxi industry is a friend of the small mum and dad taxi operator. 

Be informed, talk to us, and don’t miss out on the opportunity to multiply your profits by increasing the number of vehicles making money for you under your taxi plate.

Reality Of Unfair Competition

The Australian government has basically allowed any vehicle to operate as a public transport vehicle as long as they were booked in advance. With private hire cars parking all around the city, the taxi rank advantage is made obsolete as the customer looks to their phone for their location.

Approximately 70% of taxi cab work comes from hail and rank while our booking side of the business is constantly being eroded as private hire cars undercut taxi cabs on longer off-peak trips while milking the market during peak periods with the honest taxi industry stuck on a fixed meter regardless of market conditions.

It is time that taxi plate owners wake up and acknowledge change is needed to fight back against the shared economy which has a significant cost advantage.

The future is the Destarny hybrid model with each plate having its own supportive private hire cars making money for plate owner and professional taxi driver.
