Your own business or a fleet partner: how to start in taxi
You can drive on your own company and licence or through a partner. We compare both honestly — costs and obligations included.
In short
- Own business: your own taxi licence, ZUS, VAT, accounting — more paperwork.
- Fleet partner: you use their licence; settlements and payouts are on their side.
- Most drivers start with a partner — it’s faster and simpler.
01Comparison
| Own business | Fleet partner (Enigma) | |
|---|---|---|
| Taxi licence | your own, from the municipality | partner’s licence + extract for your car |
| Company and ZUS | you register a company and pay ZUS | a contract with the partner |
| Accounting and VAT | on you | on the partner |
| Start | weeks of paperwork | 24 hours after documents are complete |
| Payouts | from platforms to your company | weekly, daily or instant payout |
02When your own business makes sense
When you’ve driven for a long time, own a car, know the rules and want to handle your own costs. Then the extra paperwork can pay off.
03When a partner is better
- you’re just starting or recently arrived
- you don’t want to deal with accounting and VAT
- you want Uber, Bolt and FREENOW in one settlement
- you need help with documents and a car
?Questions
Can I start with a partner and open a business later?
Yes. Many drivers do — first they learn the market, then they decide.
