Delivery Driver Software — Stop Quoting Jobs Manually and Start Winning More

7 min readJuly 2026

If you are an independent delivery driver or courier, you spend too much time quoting jobs on the phone or WhatsApp. QuoteKit automates this completely. Put a quote calculator on your website or share a direct link. Customers get an instant delivery price. Their name, email and phone land in your dashboard automatically. You focus on driving.

The problem every independent delivery driver knows

You are in the middle of a run. Your phone buzzes. Someone wants a quote for a delivery. You cannot safely stop to do the maths, look up the distance on Google Maps, factor in your minimum charge and same-day surcharge, and send a price via WhatsApp while driving.

So you ignore it and plan to reply when you finish. By the time you do, they have already booked someone else.

Or you stop, do the calculation, send the price, and wait. They ghost you. Or they come back with "can you do it cheaper?" and you end up doing a job for less than it is worth.

This cycle — missed calls, manual calculations, WhatsApp back-and-forth, lost jobs — costs independent delivery drivers dozens of jobs every month. Not because the work is not there. Because the quoting process is broken.

QuoteKit fixes this. It is delivery driver software that handles all of this automatically. Customers get an instant price from your website or a shared link. You get their details. No phone call. No calculation. No waiting.

How delivery driver software works

QuoteKit gives you a branded delivery quote calculator. Customers access it from your website or from a direct link you share. Here is what happens:

  1. 1The customer enters their pickup address and delivery address. Google Maps autocomplete helps them get the right location.
  2. 2QuoteKit uses Google Maps to calculate the actual road distance in miles or kilometres.
  3. 3Your rate per mile is applied to give the base price. Your minimum charge is enforced — no more quotes under your floor price.
  4. 4If it is a same-day job, evening request, or weekend booking, your surcharges are applied automatically.
  5. 5If you use the lead gate, the customer must enter their name, email and phone number before seeing the price. Otherwise, they enter details after.
  6. 6The price is shown instantly. The lead lands in your dashboard. You get an email with their full details and the job summary.

The entire process takes under 60 seconds. You hear about every enquiry immediately, whether you are on a run, at home, or asleep. No phone call required.

Features built for independent delivery drivers

Shareable direct link: No website required. Share your quote link anywhere — WhatsApp, Google Business, Facebook, Instagram, Nextdoor, local Facebook groups. Customers click, get a price, you get the lead.

Mobile-optimised dashboard: The full dashboard works on your phone. Add it to your home screen and it runs like a native app. See new leads, update their status, record the agreed price — all from your phone between drops.

Instant email notifications: Every new quote request lands in your email immediately with full details. Name, phone, pickup, delivery, distance, vehicle, price. Everything to decide if you want the job before you call back.

Rate per mile with minimum charge: Set your rate once. The calculator applies it to every quote correctly. Never undercharge because you forgot to factor in the minimum.

Same-day, evening and weekend surcharges: Set a percentage or flat fee for urgent and unsociable-hours jobs. They are applied automatically — you never have to remember to add them.

Multiple vehicle options: If you have a van and a car, or if you do both standard and express deliveries, set up different options with separate rates. Customers pick the right service.

Lead status tracking: New, contacted, booked, lost. Update each enquiry as you work through your leads. See at a glance what is pending and what is sorted.

Works globally: Google Maps covers any two addresses worldwide. Set your currency to match your market.

Setting up your delivery driver software

Most independent drivers are set up and live in under 20 minutes.

Step 1 — Sign up to QuoteKit free. No credit card needed.

Step 2 — Choose distance-based pricing. Enter your rate per mile, your minimum fare, and your loading time charge if you use one.

Step 3 — Set your surcharges. Same-day uplift (25 to 40 percent is typical for urgent jobs). Evening rate if you charge more after a certain time. Weekend rate if you work weekends for a premium.

Step 4 — Add vehicle types if you offer different options. Small van, large van, car — each with its own rate.

Step 5 — Copy your shareable link. Share it everywhere — WhatsApp status, Google Business Profile, Facebook page, local groups. Or copy the embed code and add it to your website if you have one.

Step 6 — Test it. Enter your own postcodes or addresses. Check the price is right. Submit the form and see the lead land in your dashboard and your email.

Done. Your delivery driver software is live. Every enquiry from this point forward is captured automatically.

Growing your delivery business with better quoting

Independent delivery drivers who switch from manual quoting to QuoteKit typically notice two things immediately.

First, they stop losing jobs to unanswered calls. Every customer who reaches their quote link gets an instant price and an automatic confirmation email. Even if the driver is mid-run and cannot respond for an hour, the customer has the price, has submitted their details, and is waiting for confirmation rather than searching for another driver.

Second, they stop undercharging. When prices are calculated automatically with a fixed rate per mile, minimum charge and surcharges, there is no guessing. Every same-day job gets the same-day rate. Every evening job gets the evening uplift. The rate is applied consistently whether the driver is fresh in the morning or tired at the end of a long shift.

A shareable link also turns every existing customer into a referral channel. When someone asks a customer "how do I get a delivery with you?" the customer can share the link. The new customer gets an instant quote. No introduction needed.
