Card Machines for Taxi Drivers in Ireland – 2025 Guide | Truepos
Card Payments for Taxi Drivers in Ireland: How to Go Cashless in Your Cab
Cash isn’t king anymore — especially in the back of a taxi.
With more passengers tapping their phones and less carrying cash, having a card machine is no longer optional. It’s essential.
This guide shows you exactly how to start accepting card payments in your taxi — with no rental fees, no long contracts, and next-day payouts.
Why Card Machines Are a Must for Taxis in 2025
✔️ Fewer passengers are carrying cash
✔️ Card payments = faster pickups + smoother drop-offs
✔️ Higher tips with contactless & phone payments
✔️ Professional, trusted experience for your riders
Passengers expect a quick, seamless way to pay. If you only accept cash, you risk losing fares — especially late at night or in cashless zones.
What Type of Card Machine Do You Need?
As a taxi driver, you need:
- Portable, wireless terminals (not Bluetooth or countertop devices)
- 4G or Wi-Fi connectivity for on-the-go payments
- Contactless, chip & PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay support
- Reliable battery that lasts all shift
At Truepos, we recommend either the Castles S1MINI2 or the PAX A920 Pro — both built for mobility and fast transactions in tight spaces.
