Frequently asked questions
Product and platforms
Is the app free?
TachyCab offers a free base and Premium features (subscription). Prices and any trials are shown on the Subscribe page and in the app stores. Current offers are also listed in the app.
Which devices are supported?
Android (Google Play and, where applicable, the official APK), the web portal in a modern browser, and iOS depending on rollout. A recent smartphone is recommended for truck GPS and CB.
What is the difference between the site, the app and TachyCab News?
The TachyCab site and app are the product (logbook, GPS, subscription). TachyCab News is the transport news media: its terms and privacy are separate. Product Terms of Sale (CGV) live on this site.
Can I use TachyCab for a fleet / multiple drivers?
Each driver should generally use their own account. For a company rollout, contact us via the form (fleet topic) to discuss organisation, security and operational needs.
Account and portal
How do I sign in to the web portal?
Use the same credentials as the mobile app (e-mail / password, Google or Apple where available). One account opens both the app and the portal. Forbindelse.
I forgot my password — what should I do?
Use “Forgot password” on the portal or app sign-in screen. If nothing arrives, check spam, then contact support with the account e-mail.
Driving-time rules, driver card and road safety
Does TachyCab replace the legal tachograph?
No. TachyCab is a support and indication tool. Only the approved tachograph, official documents and employer payslips are authoritative. RSE calculations and payroll simulations are estimates.
Is the driver card (C1B file) compatible?
Yes: importing common driver-card formats (e.g. C1B) supports indicative tracking of driving and rest times under Regulation (EC) No 561/2006, without replacing legal control.
May I use the app while driving?
No. Any typing or settings must be done with the vehicle stopped, in line with the Highway Code. Set up navigation before departure and prefer voice / hands-free mode.
GPS, CB and community
Is truck GPS 100% reliable?
Routes, restrictions (size, weight, tunnels, etc.) and traffic info are indicative, based on third-party data (e.g. OpenStreetMap). Always check compatibility with your vehicle and real-world signs.
Does CB radio work offline?
CB needs an Internet connection (4G/Wi-Fi) for real-time audio. Other features may remain available offline in a degraded mode depending on context.
Does community presence share my location permanently?
No: map / CB presence is optional, with explicit consent, and short-lived (~90 seconds). Aggregated traffic indicators, if enabled, do not keep raw individual traces. See the privacy policy.
Subscription, payment and withdrawal
How do I subscribe (web vs Google Play / App Store)?
On the website: secure Stripe payment (often without store commission). On mobile: Apple / Google in-app purchases under their rules. Prices may differ. See Subscribe and the Terms of Sale. Terms of Sale.
Can I withdraw or cancel my subscription?
Consumers: right of withdrawal under conditions (14-day period, exceptions for digital content already started). Dedicated path on the Withdrawal page. Cancel renewal via portal / Stripe (web) or store account settings (mobile). Details in the Terms of Sale. Withdrawal · Terms of Sale.
Where are my invoices and receipts?
Web payment: Stripe receipt e-mail and/or customer portal. In-app purchases: Google Play or App Store history. Keep these records for your accounting.
Data, privacy and legal documents
Is my data secure (GDPR)?
Encryption in transit (TLS), local and cloud measures depending on features, European hosting for the site, documented providers (Firebase, Stripe, maps, etc.). You have GDPR rights (access, erasure, etc.). See the privacy policy. Konfidensialitet.
