Take card payments in the cab - portable, 4G-connected, and fast enough to process a fare before your passenger opens the door.
Updated:
Compact, buy-outright card machine with Wi-Fi and 4G connectivity. No monthly fees, no contract - just a one-off hardware cost and a simple flat transaction rate. Ideal for very low volume merchants.
Portable/countertop Android terminal with 5.7-inch touchscreen and Payment & POS functionality. Built-in Wi-Fi & 4G connectivity, along with thermal printing. Includes merchant branding on-screen, an intuitive over-the-phone payment flow, on-board POS features, and is configurable for full POS integration.
More passengers expect to pay by card - especially after dark, on account work, or on longer fares. Turning away a card payment means turning away a fare. A compact, 4G-connected terminal in the cab solves that.
The PAX A920 connects over 4G, fits in your hand, and processes contactless within 3 seconds. Battery lasts a full shift, and the built-in printer gives passengers a receipt on the spot.
If you’re a single-car operator watching costs, the Solo, bought outright with no monthly fees, keeps your overheads minimal. Higher transaction rate, but zero fixed costs.
The right choice depends on how many card payments you process per shift. Higher volume? The lower transaction rate on the PAX A920 or PAX A800 saves money. Lower volume? The Solo’s zero monthly fee might make more sense. We help you work it out.
Yes. A compact portable terminal fits in the centre console, door pocket, or wherever is convenient. Process payment when the fare ends - the customer taps or inserts their card, and you're both done. 4G connectivity means it works anywhere you're driving, not just near Wi-Fi hotspots.
The card machines we supply are standalone payment terminals - you key in the fare amount from your meter and the customer pays. They don't integrate directly with taxi meter systems. In practice, this is how most independent taxi drivers operate: read the meter, enter the amount, take the payment.
The right card machine depends on how the business trades. A fine-dining restaurant in Covent Garden, a market trader at Glasgow's Barras and a pub beside Cardiff Arms Park take payments in completely different ways, and no single machine suits all three. uno starts by understanding how a business actually operates, and only then recommends - from a range of providers rather than from one.
Yes, every one of them. Apple Pay, Google Pay and contactless cards are accepted as standard on every machine uno recommends; contactless is how most UK customers now pay, and every machine features it as standard.
For most merchants, yes - available on-screen along with contactless and Chip & Pin. The small minority of high-risk business-types that are not offered over-the-phone payments by default are the exception - for the vast majority, 'over-the-phone' payments will be offered as standard.
From the card machine, in a few taps. Refund a sale on the same day and it is cancelled outright, with the money never leaving the customer's account; refund it after the provider's daily cut-off and the customer's bank typically takes 3-5 days to return it. Every machine uno recommends handles both, and the difference is only in how quickly the customer sees the money.
With several of the providers uno works with the merchant does nothing at all, because the provider handles PCI on their behalf; with the others it is a few minutes once a year. Nobody uno works with makes it complicated, and uno tells a merchant which they are getting before anything is signed.
Most businesses are up and running within a few days. uno handles the installation and configuration, then walks the merchant and their staff through everything.
We make the effort to understand how you operate, and only then recommend the solution that's right for your business - not the provider's.
