Dispatch Software Pricing Demystified: What You’ll Actually Pay at 5 vs 50 Drivers
Dispatch Software Pricing Demystified: What You’ll Actually Pay at 5 vs 50 Drivers
Let’s break down the true costs of modern dispatch systems — what smaller chauffeur businesses and larger fleets actually pay each month with A to Z Dispatch.
Why This Matters
Every limo operator asks the same question before investing in dispatch software: “What will this really cost me?” Pricing on most websites looks simple at first — until you find hidden add-ons, driver limits, or per-trip fees that inflate your monthly bill.
So, we’ll skip the sales fluff and show you exactly how pricing scales with real-world examples — from a 5-driver company to a 50-driver fleet.
The Benchmark: A to Z Dispatch Pricing Model
A to Z Dispatch is built to stay transparent. No per-trip fees, no hidden setup costs, and no forced annual contracts. The system scales by driver count, not revenue. Here’s the baseline:
| Plan Type | Fleet Size | Monthly Cost | Driver Access | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter Plan | 1–5 Drivers | $99/month | Unlimited | Dispatch Console, Driver App, Web Booker, Passenger App |
| Professional Plan | 6–50 Drivers | $199/month | Unlimited | All Starter Features + Advanced Analytics + Fleet Reports |
| Enterprise Plan | 50+ Drivers | Custom Pricing | Unlimited | Custom Branding, Integrations, Priority Support |
Simple. Flat. Predictable.
Case 1: A Small Chauffeur Operator (5 Drivers)
Let’s say you’re running Texas Elite Transfers, a five-driver airport-transfer business. You’re managing about 10–15 bookings daily. Before switching to A to Z Dispatch, your dispatcher handled everything manually through phone calls and Google Sheets — costing time and causing missed jobs.
With the Starter Plan ($99/month), you automate scheduling, send instant notifications to drivers, and handle all payments through the passenger app. That $99 easily replaces around $500 worth of admin time each month.
| Expense Area | Before | After A to Z Dispatch | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Admin Labor | $500 | $0 (Automated) | ↓ 100% |
| Missed Bookings | ~10/month | 1–2/month | ↓ 80% |
| Dispatch Time per Job | 3–5 min | Under 30 sec | ↓ 90% |
ROI: Most 5-driver teams recover their software cost in the first week of use.
Case 2: A Mid-Size Fleet (50 Drivers)
Now imagine USA Luxury Limos, Texas — a full-service chauffeur company with 50 vehicles. They handle around 80–100 bookings daily across corporate accounts, airport transfers, and events.
Before automation, their dispatchers worked around the clock, and coordination errors were common. After implementing the Professional Plan ($199/month), they unified operations under one system.
Every driver uses the app to receive jobs, update status, and get paid weekly. Passengers book via app or web, and the admin tracks fleet performance in real time.
| Metric | Before A to Z Dispatch | After A to Z Dispatch | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly Dispatch Cost | $1,200 | $199 | ↓ 83% |
| Booking Accuracy | 82% | 99.6% | ↑ 17.6% |
| Idle Driver Hours | 2.5 hrs/day | 1 hr/day | ↓ 60% |
| Customer Retention | 80% | 96% | ↑ 16% |

Breaking Down the Real Cost Per Driver
When you compare monthly pricing across fleet sizes, A to Z Dispatch stays the most cost-efficient solution in the chauffeur software space. Here’s what you actually pay per driver:
| Fleet Size | Monthly Cost | Effective Cost Per Driver | ROI Potential |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 Drivers | $99 | $19.80 | ~400% ROI in Year 1 |
| 10 Drivers | $199 | $19.90 | ~300% ROI in Year 1 |
| 50 Drivers | $199 | $3.98 | ~500% ROI in Year 1 |
Notice how costs flatten out as your team grows. Unlike other providers that charge “per driver,” A to Z Dispatch keeps pricing capped — rewarding growth instead of punishing it.
The Hidden Costs You Avoid
- No transaction fees: Keep 100% of each booking’s revenue.
- No training costs: Drivers onboard in minutes with the app.
- No extra cost for customer apps: Passenger and driver apps are included.
- No data migration fees: Move from spreadsheets or legacy systems for free.
These are often where competitors add unexpected line items — not here.
Cost Transparency = Trust
Chauffeur businesses like USA Luxury Limos often start small and grow fast. The key is knowing your software won’t suddenly spike in price just because you added a few more drivers. Predictable pricing means you can scale without budget surprises.
“When we hit 25 drivers, we expected the monthly bill to triple. It didn’t. That consistency is why we stayed with A to Z Dispatch. Every dollar we save goes back into better vehicles and service.”
— Operations Director, USA Luxury Limos, Texas
Comparing With Industry Averages
Most competing dispatch platforms charge per driver or per trip. That can easily add up:
| Provider Type | Pricing Model | Fleet of 5 | Fleet of 50 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Per Driver | $15–$25/driver | $75–$125/month | $750–$1,250/month |
| Per Trip Fee | $0.30–$0.60/job | ~$100/month | $900+/month |
| A to Z Dispatch | Flat Fee | $99 | $199 |
The difference grows with scale — saving larger fleets thousands annually.
Bottom Line
Software should simplify your life, not surprise your accountant. With A to Z Dispatch, pricing is capped, support is included, and every feature works out of the box. Whether you’re dispatching five cars or fifty, you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for — and why it pays you back.
