Charging for time.

There are two ways to make Taximeter charge for time.

Option 1. Only charge for time when speed is lower.

This suits slow traffic: you charge per mile/km at normal speeds, but switch to a time charge when traffic slows or jams up. It also handles the waiting portions of a trip, making the setup a single universal solution.

Set the “Start charging by minute when speed is lower than” option in any tariff, and remember to configure a time charge as well.

Please be sure to setup that “speed lower than” to be higher than 0! If value is left at zero, taximeter will not be charging for time. In the example below it is set to 5 mph. Anytime when speed is lower than 5mph, taximeter will start charging for time.

With this option, the time charge begins counting whenever you stop or slow down (under 5 mph in the example above). There’s a one-second grace period before it kicks in — Taximeter uses that moment to confirm that you’re genuinely stopped or moving below the configured threshold.

Option 2. Always charge for time.

If you need time to be charged at all times, set “Fare per minute” and, at the bottom of the tariff screen, set “Only charge by minute when in low speed” to NO. Taximeter will then charge for time on every tick — useful for pure waiting tariffs, or whenever you need to charge for time and distance simultaneously.

Please note how “Only charge by minute when in low speed” is set to NO here.
