Booking and price

Where can I use AESA Taxi?

The service is being prepared and starts with a pilot in Nitra. More regional cities follow once it is evaluated.

Is the price really fixed?

Yes. You see the price before booking and never pay more, even if traffic makes the ride longer. Only waiting for you beyond 3 minutes or a new destination can change it — both show live in the app.

How is the price calculated?

From the zone fare table: in Nitra a €2.00 base fare, €0.75 per km and €0.20 per minute, a €4.50 minimum and +15% at night from 10 pm to 5 am. Plus a €0.49 service fee. A carrier may price from −15% to +20%, but you pay at most what you saw when booking.

Does it cost more when demand is high?

No. AESA Taxi uses no surge pricing. The price follows the fare table, even when it rains or it is Friday night.

How much of the price does the driver get?

The price shows a breakdown. After the start the platform keeps 10% of the ride price (at most €60 a week per vehicle) and the €0.49 service fee. Tips and cancellation fees go to the driver in full.

Which car classes can I book?

Economy, Comfort, XL for up to 6 people and Van for up to 8 people or extra luggage. Availability depends on the cars nearby.

Is there a first-ride discount?

Yes, at the Nitra launch new riders get €5 off their first ride with the code NITRA5. We pay for the discount; the driver gets the full fare.

Payments

How can I pay?

By card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Payments are processed by Stripe. Cash is not used in the app.

When is the payment taken?

The amount is only reserved when you book and charged after the ride. If your bank asks for verification, the app guides you through it.

Who issues my receipt?

The app issues the transport receipt on behalf of the carrier who did the ride. The service fee is on a separate receipt from the operator. Both are in the ride details and arrive by e-mail if you add one.

Can I tip the driver?

Yes, after the ride in the app (€1, €2, 10% or your own amount). The tip goes to the driver in full.

Cancelling and waiting

Can I cancel a booking?

Free within 2 minutes of the driver accepting, any time the driver is more than 5 minutes late, and up to 30 minutes before a scheduled pick-up. Otherwise the fee is €2.50, all of which goes to the driver.

How long will the driver wait?

3 minutes from arrival free, then €0.25 per minute. If you do not show up after 5 minutes and the driver has called you, a €3.00 no-show fee applies, all of it for the driver.

What if no car is free?

The nearest free drivers receive the offer one by one. If nobody is found, the app tells you and offers a scheduled ride.

What if the driver cancels?

The ride is offered to the next driver straight away and you pay nothing.

Account and privacy

What will I need to sign up?

A phone number verified with an SMS code and your name. You must be at least 18.

How do you use my location?

Only for the pick-up and during the ride. The driver sees just your name and pick-up point; phone numbers are masked. More in the privacy notice.

Will the app be in Slovak and English?

Yes, switch the language and the light or dark look in your account.

Drivers and taxi services

Can I drive as an independent taxi driver?

Yes, with your own taxi licence. Or as a driver of a taxi service that invites you with a code.

What are the fees for drivers?

0% to start: the fee begins only once 60 days have passed since your first ride and your app revenue is above €500. Then 10% of each completed ride, at most €60 a week. No sign-up or monthly fee, payouts every working day.

Who runs the service?

AESA Group, SE as a dispatch service: it arranges rides carried out by licensed taxi operators. The software is developed by AESA Investment OÜ.
