About CaminoCabs — Built in Dublin
for Passengers & Drivers
CaminoCabs is Dublin's taxi platform built on a simple belief: when drivers are treated fairly, passengers get a better service. We're changing how Dublin moves — one ride at a time.
From Behind the Wheel
to Building the Platform
The story of CaminoCabs starts on the road — literally.
A Life in Transport
I've spent most of my career moving things — and people. For years I worked as a dangerous goods driver across Europe, covering routes through Spain, France, Germany, and beyond. In 2021, I moved to Dublin and continued in heavy goods before getting my SPSV taxi licence and starting a new chapter behind the wheel of a taxi.
Driver by Day, Developer by Night
Alongside driving, I've always been building things online. I studied digital marketing in Madrid and have been creating websites for years. It's an unusual combination — but it gave me a unique perspective. I understood both the road and the technology, and I could see what was broken from the inside.
Three Years of Seeing What's Broken
After three years working with various taxi platforms in Dublin, the pattern was clear: high commissions eating into drivers' earnings, surge pricing confusing passengers, forced dispatch removing driver choice, and a general lack of interest in providing quality service to either side. The platforms had forgotten who actually makes the system work.
CaminoCabs — Built From Real Experience
I built CaminoCabs from the ground up with the team at GROWXIA — with one core principle: the two most important parts of any taxi platform are the passenger and the driver. A passenger can find a taxi without any app. A driver can find a passenger without any app. Platforms exist to make that connection better — not to extract the maximum possible fee from the people doing the actual work.
CaminoCabs Limited
What CaminoCabs
Stands For
Every decision we make comes back to the same question: does this make things better for drivers and passengers?
Fairness First
The lowest commission in Ireland — from just 5%. No surge pricing, no hidden fees. Fares follow regulated national tariffs so everyone knows what to expect.
Respect for Drivers
Drivers are professionals, not expendable resources. No forced dispatch, freedom to choose rides, and a rewards system that recognises their work.
Full Transparency
Drivers see exactly what they earn on every trip. Passengers see their fare upfront. No surprises, no small print, no games.
Every Passenger Is Priority
No priority fees, no premium tiers, no pay-to-skip-the-queue. Every passenger gets the same level of service — because that's how it should be.
Dublin Born & Based
Built in Dublin, registered in Ireland, designed for the people who live and work here. We understand this city because we drive in it every day.
Safety & Compliance
Every driver holds a valid SPSV licence, Garda vetting, and full commercial insurance. All regulated by the National Transport Authority.
CaminoCabs vs
Other Platforms
We're not just another taxi app. Here's what sets CaminoCabs apart from every other platform in Dublin.
Lowest Commission in Ireland
5% for Partner drivers, 10% for Standard — compared to up to 25% on other platforms. Or pay a flat monthly subscription and keep 100%.
Signal System — 0% Commission
Passengers broadcast pickup signals. Nearby drivers respond freely. First to arrive keeps 100% of the fare. No other platform offers this.
No Surge Pricing — Ever
We follow Ireland's regulated taxi tariffs. The fare is the fare, whether it's a Saturday night or a Tuesday morning. No dynamic multipliers.
More Than Taxis
Live bus tracking, tram timetables, taxi rank locator, and a route planner that compares times and prices across all transport modes.
CaminoPoints Rewards
Both drivers and passengers earn points. Drivers redeem them for commission-free periods. Passengers get discounts and perks.
Built by a Driver
CaminoCabs was designed by someone who actually drives a taxi in Dublin. Every feature solves a real problem — because the founder lives them daily.
CaminoCabs Limited
An Irish-registered technology company providing intermediation services for licensed taxi drivers and passengers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who founded CaminoCabs?
CaminoCabs was founded by Rafael Cervera Ruiz, a licensed SPSV taxi driver who has worked in Dublin since 2021. After three years driving for various taxi platforms, he built CaminoCabs with the team at GROWXIA to fix what was broken — high commissions, surge pricing, and forced dispatch.
Is CaminoCabs licensed and regulated?
Yes. CaminoCabs Limited is registered in Ireland (CRO 806705, incorporated January 2026). Every driver on the platform holds a valid SPSV licence from the National Transport Authority, with Garda vetting and full commercial insurance. All fares follow Ireland's regulated taxi tariffs — no surge pricing, ever.
How does CaminoCabs work?
Passengers book taxis through the app with instant fare estimates and live tracking. Drivers keep more of every fare — 5% commission for Partner drivers, or 0% through the Signal System, where nearby drivers respond freely and the first to arrive keeps 100%.
Where does CaminoCabs operate?
Dublin city and the Greater Dublin Area, Dublin Airport transfers (Terminal 1 & 2), and long-distance trips to any city in Ireland — Galway, Cork, Belfast, Limerick and beyond. We also offer live bus tracking, tram timetables and a taxi rank locator.
What Passengers &
Drivers Say
Unedited reviews from the CaminoCabs app and Google Maps.
"Solid app. It's easy to book and the drivers have been grand. The real-time tracking is useful. Nothing flashy, but it works, and that's what matters."
"Works well for getting cabs around town. I like that I can see the bus and Luas stops too — it's handy when you're deciding which way to go. No complaints so far."
"Pretty straightforward app. I've used it a few times and it gets the job done. Pick-ups have been reliable and the fares seem fair. Could use a few more payment options, but overall it's fine."
"I've been using CaminoCabs for a couple of months now and the commission is one of the lowest I've come across. The app is really straightforward — no confusing menus, just accept the job and go. Payments come through on time without any fuss. Happy with it."
"The app works well, it's quick and easy to accept rides. The commission rate is good, you definitely notice it in your weekly take-home."
"Pre-booked with CaminoCabs the night before and the driver was right there waiting when we landed. Spacious car, helped with the luggage, calm drive home."
"Found CaminoCabs through a friend and I've used them several times for pre-booked rides in Dublin. Drivers have all been professional and friendly. Perfect if you don't want the stress of last-minute booking!"
