Proper driver setup goes beyond basic data entry\u2014it\u2019s a key step in onboarding your team and getting the most out of your Limo Anywhere system. Setting up drivers ensures smooth dispatch operations, accurate payroll processing, and seamless communication between your team and chauffeurs. In this blog post, we\u2019ll walk you through setting up drivers as a resource in Limo Anywhere and configuring chauffeur\u2019s DriverAnywhere access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding Drivers to Limo Anywhere<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Click the \u201cMy Office\u201d icon in the navigation bar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Navigate to the \u201cCompany Resources\u201d tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Select \u201cDrivers\u201d from the lefthand menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Enter the chauffeur\u2019s First and Last Names in the \u201cAdd New Driver\u201d section.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Enter the chauffeur\u2019s cell phone number.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    NOTE:<\/strong> The driver’s full name and cell phone number are required, and you cannot set up a chauffeur in the system without this information. The other fields are optional and can be completed based on your company’s preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    6. Complete other profile information as desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you intend to set your driver up on DriverAnywhere, enter their Web Access credentials.
    NOTE: Driver credentials must be unique, even if a driver has been inactivated. Use a format that reduces the likelihood of generating duplicate usernames (ex. Jack Smith and John Smith cannot both have the username JSmith).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    7. Click \u201cADD NEW DRIVER\u201d to save the driver\u2019s information to your system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    8. Once the Driver has been added to Limo Anywhere, additional tabs will become available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


    Understanding DriverAnywhere Settings<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    NOTE:<\/strong> Drivers do not have access to DriverAnywhere by default and DriverAnywhere settings are controlled per driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. To enable DriverAnywhere for the driver, check the box next to \u201cUse Driver Anywhere.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Checking the box next to \u201cEdit Trip Times\u201d allows the driver to adjust times for Gar-Out, ETA, Spot, In-Car, Drop-off, and Gar-In.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Checking the box next to \u201cSee Rate Data\u201d grants the driver access to view the rates you\u2019ve mapped for DriverAnywhere. By default, these rates include Tolls, Parking<\/a>, Misc Fee 1, and Misc Fee 2.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Checking the box next to \u201cEdit Rate Data\u201d allows the driver to modify rates or rate components (Tolls, Parking, Misc Fee 1, and Misc Fee 2) during a trip.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Checking the box next to \u201cProcess Payments\u201d enables the driver to run an \u201cAuthorize and Capture\u201d transaction on a credit card through the DriverAnywhere system and have the passenger sign for it at the time of the transaction. NOTE: This feature is dependent on having a payment gateway set up in your Limo Anywhere system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    6. Checking the box next to \u201cView Full Rate Breakdown\u201d allows the driver to see the full rate breakdown of the reservation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    7. Checking the box next to \u201cDisallow Cancel Reservation\u201d prevents the driver from setting a trip to any canceled status.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    8. After selecting the tasks you want the driver to perform, click the \u201cUpdate\u201d button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    9. Repeat this process for each driver.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Understanding Payroll Setup<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Limo Anywhere gives you the flexibility to pay your drivers a percentage of the revenue from customer charges, in addition to an hourly rate and\/or a fixed per-trip fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      NOTE:<\/strong> It’s important to create only one payment schedule per vehicle type for each driver. This ensures the system can correctly populate the payroll fields on the settlement screen. If multiple schedules are created for a single vehicle type, it can create confusion, making it difficult to determine which schedule should be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      If you’re paying your driver a percentage of the fees\/charges, enter the amounts here. Check the box next to the applicable rate and specify the percentage the driver will receive from each element of the total fee you bill the customer (ex. 100% of the gratuities paid out).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
