Renting a car for taxi — for drivers and owners

Optymist connects drivers without a car with car owners. The driver starts right away, and the owner gets paid for the car every week.

Updated: 10 November 2026

For drivers: drive without your own car

  • We help you find a taxi-ready car from an owner.
  • We deduct the rent in your weekly settlement — no separate payments.
  • Transfer = net from the apps − 8% VAT − rent − cash − 50 zł.

Renting makes sense when you’re starting out or don’t want to tie up money in a car. If you drive many hours, your own car eventually gives a higher transfer. Compare both in the calculator.

For owners: your car earns

  • You get 100% of the rent, no commission, and we guarantee the payout.
  • We find and vet the driver and keep track of payments.
  • You cover the car’s insurance and servicing.

Which cars qualify

  • At least 4 doors and 5 seats. The minimum model year depends on the model and the app.
  • An additional technical inspection with a TAXI note in the registration certificate (every year).
  • OC insurance extended to passenger transport.
  • A taxi licence extract — we’ll help you get it.
