How to Join Taxi Masr as a Captain: Requirements, Steps and Documents

The requirements to join Taxi Masr as a captain come down to three things: a valid professional driving licence, an officially licensed taxi, and a valid national ID card. We are currently taking on taxi captains in Mansoura: register your interest now, and when the captain app launches you upload your documents from your phone in minutes, then work flexible hours for a commission of just 5%.

Taxi Masr was designed to be a fair place to work for licensed taxi drivers facing rising running costs, and to restore the standing of the official white taxi in the market.

The documents and requirements for registration

To protect passengers and keep service quality high, the Taxi Masr team reviews the following documents before any account is activated:

1. National ID card: Valid.
2. Professional driving licence: Valid, of a grade that permits driving a taxi.
3. Taxi licence: Valid and officially registered as a taxi.
4. Photo of the car and plate: A clear photo showing the car and its plate number.

Because a professional licence is only issued after a medical examination and a driving test at the traffic department, it is the foundation of trust between passenger and captain. We also expect a car that is clean inside and out, with working air conditioning.

Joining, step by step

Why drivers join Taxi Masr

• Just 5% commission: Compared with rates of up to 20% – 25% on some other ride-hailing apps, you keep 95% of every fare.
• Several ways to get paid: Cash directly from the passenger, InstaPay, or a bank card.
• Licensed taxis only: The platform does not accept private cars, so there is no unfair competition.
• Fully flexible hours: No minimum number of rides or hours; you work when it suits you.

Commission and settlement

How is the commission calculated?

If a ride costs EGP 100, the app's commission is just EGP 5 and you keep EGP 95 — plus 100% of any tip the passenger gives you, because no commission is taken on tips.

Settling your earnings

Earnings from rides paid electronically (card or InstaPay) are added to your in-app wallet as soon as the passenger pays, and paid out to you weekly. On cash rides you keep the whole fare; the commission is recorded against your wallet and deducted from your electronic earnings in the weekly settlement, or you can top up your wallet from the app.

Tips for captains to earn more and keep a high rating

1. Keep the car clean and cool: The passenger's first impression shows up directly in your rating.
2. Welcome modern payment methods: Accepting InstaPay and cards makes passengers happier and makes a tip more likely.
3. Stick to the route on the map: Following the app's route prevents disputes and gets you there fastest.
4. Be courteous: Passengers see your rating before choosing your offer, and a high rating makes you more likely to be chosen.
