Zipo is a UK ride-hailing platform that replaces the standard 20–50% per-trip commission with a flat £79.99/month driver subscription, letting drivers keep 100% of fares and enabling up to 50% lower prices for riders. Model proven 3x, 1 Unicorn. It operates as a licensed UK PHV operator with end-to-end dispatch and compliance control, via two purpose-built apps (driver + rider). No exclusivity, so drivers multi-home; pricing is fixed and non-surge.
The dominant ride-hailing model relies on 20–50% take-rates that scale with driver effort rather than platform value. Active UK drivers can lose £1,500–£2,500/month to commissions, while surge pricing creates uncertainty for drivers and riders.
