Driven by Derby

Lets work together, see where it goes.

We’re building something different for Derby. Something that really, should go without saying. Derby drivers for Derby folks.

A Derby led platform built around fairness, professionalism and respect for the people who keep the city moving

We want you to help push the narrative. That Derby should be driven by Derby.

Derby licensed drivers for Derby folks.

Free App Access for Derby Drivers

There are no costs to go live on the platform.

Drivers can currently access the app completely free, with no upfront joining fees or hidden setup charges.

A Fairer System for Drivers and Customers

Driven by Derby is built on one simple principle:

Fairness at every level.

For customers, that means transparent pricing based on real time, distance, and effort.

For drivers, that means fair fares on every job and a system that respects the work being done.

No hidden cuts.
No confusing pricing structures.
No unfair reductions.

Just a straightforward approach where customers pay a fair price and drivers receive a fair return.

Drivers get offered jobs — it’s their choice to take it or not. Simple as that.

If it isn’t fair on both sides, it doesn’t work.

Founder Membership — Limited to 25 Drivers

We are now opening a strictly limited Founder Membership for drivers in Derby.

Only 25 places are available.

This is the founding group — the drivers who will help shape the standards, culture, and future of the platform from day one.

Once all 25 places are filled, membership will move to standard Driver Partner access.

Founder Membership: Commission Structure

Founder Membership is set at 10% commission on jobs through the app.

That’s it.

We pay out weekly, so you receive payment the following week for work completed through the app.

This keeps costs down.

The goal? Keep the system reliable, efficient and local.
This is a thankyou for jumping in on the ground floor. As the project grows, so will the commission. But not, for founders.

Who We’re Looking For

We are only accepting self-employed drivers who are:

• Fully licensed by Derby City Council
• Reliable and professional
• Strongly customer-focused
• Consistent in service and presentation
• Proud to represent the highest standard of Derby drivers

Building Derby’s Best Driver Network

This is not an open-door platform.

We are carefully looking to create a trusted founding network made up of the crème de la crème of Derby drivers.

Drivers who value professionalism, fairness, quality service and community.

Founder Members are not simply joining a platform — they are giving it strong foundations.

Join the Founding 25

If you believe drivers deserve:

• A fairer system
• Clearer earnings
• Greater respect
• A better way to work together

then this is your opportunity to be part of something from the very beginning.

Founder Membership is strictly limited to 25 drivers.

Once the places are gone, they are gone.

We want to keep in touch!

Derby cars – Driven by Derby *

• Yep. I’m Derby. Blue plated baby.
• I’m licensed by a different license authority.

Derby cars – Driven by Derby alows the cities residents and visitors and corporate establishments to access a 100% locally licensed project and book with local, city drivers. No offense to out of town plates intended, but this is a DCC only initiative.

Type of license. *

• Hackney
• Private hire

We’d love to work out a way to include both private hire and Hackney drivers on the app. This opens doors to extra work, accessibilty and parties with more than 4 passengers getting east, local pickups.

Current work status *

• Uber
• Bolt
• Local operator
• Own ops license
• Hackney

Derby cars is a start up so knowing you already have regular work and can look after yourself is key. Derby Cars will initially suit drivers who may be multi apping and have the understanding they are a small business. You have to do what you have to do in order to keep yourself going.

School contract? *

• Yes
• No

Understanding if drivers are already committed between certain times enables us to manage local availabilty as the project evolves. You do you, get yourself paid. We just need to manage availabilty.

Phone access. *

• Yep, I can accomodate this.
• Woah, thats gonna cause me a problem.

Derby cars – Driven by Derby will be run on iCabbi. It has a great passenger app function and a pretty bullet proof driver app. You need to have access to a clear iCabbi account or use a second phone if your current work process uses iCabbi. We put this here to be clear from the outset.

App access *

• Yes I agree
• No thanks, not for me.

Access to the Derby cars app will be via a weekly subscription. Founder drivers will have a subscription fee of £3.80 (the cost of a coffee at Starbucks Pride park) then there will be a service fee of 10% on any work accessed via the app. Typically, this means, for £100.00 of work, driver will recieve £90.00. The subscription covers contribution to app growth and marketing along with filtering out those who tend to drop in and out of things reducing The % covers the costs to manage the app, transaction fees and admin.

No obligations to take on work.

• Yes I understand
• No. I don’t get it.

The app offers jobs to the nearest driver in the zone required with a focus on drivers who may have waited longer in that zone, before offering it out to other drivers in the vicinity. We don’t manually dispatch jobs and you dont have to take on any work offered. The app will offer you the job, show you the pick up/destinations and give you an up front estimate on the fee. It’s your choice to take or decline. Get it?

Lastly. Email work

Weekly settle up. *

• Yep. I get it.
• No, doesn’t work for me.

Derby cars – Driven by Derby will pay out weekly. We’ve explored options, but in order to keep the project at that 10% service fee, the weekly payout is currently our only option. We need drivers to understand there won’t be early payouts or on demand cashouts.

Lastly. *

• Nope. Thanks but I’m out.
• Yes. Keep me in the loop. I get it.

Lastly. There will be a little admin before you access the app. We’ll need your documents, BACS details for payouts and we’ll need you to set up a subscription. These are the non negotiables for founder drivers. There are a limited few spots for founder drivers. Once in play, there will be a time limit to get set up or your founder driver spot could go to someone else. All good?

Founder driver status. *

• Yes. It’s clear.
• Say what?

Founder driver status is a bit of a thankyou for getting involved early. Thats why the subscription fee is the price of a coffee. If you leave the project or cancel the weekly payment, you will no longer have access to the project as a founder driver and your subscription will be set at the standard subs rate.
