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.

🚛
The Road

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.

💻
The Other Side

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.

🔍
The Problem

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.

🚀
The Solution

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.

Happy drivers, happy passengers. That's not a slogan — it's the entire business model.

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.

CaminoCabs vs
Other Platforms

We're not just another taxi app. Here's what sets CaminoCabs apart from every other platform in Dublin.

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.

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%.

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.
