Run a licensed transport operator? Join the network

Papaya puts operators in front of travellers from abroad and at home, takes the payment, and hands you the job with nothing to chase. You drive, in your vehicles, with your drivers, under your name.

What you get

  • Bookings, paid before the trip

    The traveller pays by card when they book. You never chase a fare or carry a no-show.

  • The job in ShuttleSync

    Each booking lands in your ShuttleSync account with the pickup, the flight and the traveller’s WhatsApp number. Your driver assignment goes back to the traveller from there.

  • Your rating as your own

    Once you are listed, your Google rating is shown as yours, never pooled with anyone else’s.

  • A statement per settlement

    Every trip on one statement, at the rate agreed with you, paid on schedule.

What we ask

  • An operating licence for the vehicles you put on the platform, and passenger liability insurance in force.
  • Drivers with a professional driving permit.
  • A Google Business Profile, so travellers can see your reviews as yours.
  • A ShuttleSync account, which we set up with you if you do not have one.
  • Fixed rates per vehicle class between the places you serve, agreed once and honoured on public holidays and in December.
