Hourly + as-directed vehicle hire · Sydney

Hourly + as-directed taxi hire dispatch in Sydney — block-hours, fixed driver, transparent meter.

Taxi dispatch system calibrated for hourly hire work in Sydney. Point to Point, CPVV, TMR and OD-Transport accredited. Block-hour bookings, as-directed driver, transparent billing.

Hourly (or 'as-directed') hire is the model where a rider books a vehicle for a fixed block of hours and directs the driver to multiple destinations during the block. The dispatch system has to lock the vehicle out of auto-dispatch for the booked window, surface a clear hourly meter to the rider, and bill the actual block consumed plus any overage.

Sydney hourly hire dispatch — the operating reality

Hourly hire fails when the vehicle is auto-dispatched to a passing on-demand trip mid-block. The Aurora console locks the vehicle out of auto-dispatch for the entire booked window; the driver app shows the hourly meter and elapsed block-time so both driver and rider see the same number.

Corporate accounts that use hourly hire heavily (production crews, executive day-rate work, event-day shuttles) configure default block sizes and overage thresholds at the account record.

FAQ

Hourly hire taxi dispatch Sydney — questions answered.

Is the vehicle locked out of auto-dispatch during a block?: Yes. The booked window blocks auto-dispatch entirely; the vehicle is the rider's for the block.
How is overage billed?: Per-minute or per-15-minute overage rates, configurable per account; receipts itemise block + overage separately.
Can corporate accounts set default block sizes?: Yes. Default block size and overage threshold are configurable at the account level.
Is the Point to Point Transport levy calculated automatically?: Yes. The per-trip levy is calculated at trip completion and rolled into the monthly return the operator submits to the commission.
How do Sydney Airport terminal feeders work?: Drivers check in to T1, T2, or T3 feeder via the driver app. The Aurora console shows queue depth per terminal so dispatch decisions respect rank order.
