About

What Is Driver-Included Car Rental Software?

Driver-included car rental software manages vehicles booked together with a professional driver, for a defined hire duration rather than a simple point-to-point trip. It controls package duration, included distance, vehicle class, driver allocation, live trip progress and final billing. Taxi, chauffeur, executive, black car, airport transfer and corporate transport operators use it because hourly and package hire involves different operational information than a standard pickup and drop-off — and Yelowsoft manages that within the same dispatch platform used for regular bookings.

The Distinction

Car Rental With a Driver Is Different From Self-Drive Rental

Self-Drive Rental

The customer rents the vehicle and drives it themselves. The operator manages vehicle inventory, reservations, handovers and returns.

Yelowsoft's Use Case

The customer hires a vehicle + driver + time or package — for example, a 1-hour hire, a 4-hour package, a full-day executive hire, or a recurring corporate hire. A professional driver operates the vehicle throughout.

Hire Types

Manage Hourly, Package & Full-Day Driver Hire

Hourly Hire

Vehicle and driver hired for a defined number of hours.

Fixed-Duration Packages

Predefined duration and distance packages.

Full-Day Chauffeur Hire

Vehicle and driver assigned for a longer service window.

Corporate Hire

Businesses book a vehicle and driver for executives or visitors.

One Platform

Manage Hourly & Package Hire Alongside Point-to-Point Trips

The same operator may receive a point-to-point taxi booking, an airport transfer, a corporate trip, and an hourly or package hire — all on the same dispatch board, sharing driver availability rather than maintaining separate calendars.
