You can't find anyone new
Your partner list is the people you already know. An operator two cities over with exactly the right vehicle has no way to appear in front of you.

LimoPilot Connect · free forever
The operator network that doesn't tax your jobs.
Every operator farms work out and takes work in. The networks that exist for it charge you a fee on every completed reservation — the ones you send and the ones you receive. Connect charges nothing, in either direction, and you do not need to buy LimoPilot to use it.
No subscription · No per-trip fee · No contract
Why this exists
Farming a job out is still done by phone, memory and trust.
A Saturday in June, two bookings, one bus. You call three operators you half-remember, hope one picks up, agree a price out loud, and have nothing written down afterwards except a text thread. Do it fifty times a year and you still cannot answer the simplest questions about your own partner network.
Prices are re-negotiated every time
The same operator, the same run, a different number depending on who called and how busy it was that week. Nothing carries forward.
The networks that solve it charge per job
A fee on every completed reservation, sent and received. Farm out steadily and it becomes a permanent tax on subcontracted work.
What's free, and what isn't
You never have to buy anything to earn from Connect.
The split is deliberate and it is not the usual one. Everything on the supply side — getting found, quoting, accepting work, getting paid — is free permanently. Only the demand side, moving your own work through the network, needs a LimoPilot subscription.

Needs an active LimoPilot tenancy
$247/mo
- Posting an availability request to the network
- Handing off a job to a partner
- Proposing a rate card to another operator
- Starting a cascading dispatch run
Four actions. That's the entire paid line, and it is enforced in the database rather than in the interface — so it can't quietly grow. A fifth would require a written decision, by construction.
Read it the other way round and the promise is simpler: a free member never loses a job because they didn't pay. They still win the work and they still get paid for it. The subscription buys you the ability to ask, not the ability to answer.
How a job moves
Ask the network. Quotes come back private.
An availability request goes out to the operators who can actually serve it. Their quotes come back to you and only to you — nobody sees what anyone else bid, so this is not a race to the bottom in public.
You post what you need
Date, vehicle class, passengers, route. It reaches operators who can cover it, not a public board the whole industry is scrolling.
Paid action · needs a tenancyThey quote you privately
Each operator sees the job and sends a price. They cannot see each other's quotes. Quoting is free for them, always.
Free for the operator answeringYou accept one, and it becomes a real job
The hand-off copies across only what the partner needs to drive it — and your customer's price is not in that copy. Partners never read your booking records.
Paid to hand off · free to acceptCompleting it builds both track records
Work that actually finished is the only thing that counts toward it. Not a badge somebody bought — a count of jobs done.
Free, both sidesWhat's in it
Nine things Connect does, and one it refuses to.
A directory that's actually searchable
By city, by airport, by vehicle type. Operators publish what they run and where they run it, so the right one can be found rather than remembered.
Direct operator messaging
Talk to another company inside the system instead of a personal phone thread that nobody else at either business can find later.
Real partnerships, invited and accepted
A partner list both sides agreed to, with pending and sent invitations visible — not a contact you added and they never confirmed.
Availability requests with private quotes
Ask the network what a job would cost. Every reply comes to you alone, so operators quote their real number rather than shading it against a visible field.
Job hand-off onto a real booking
An accepted quote becomes an actual assignment with the details the partner needs — not a forwarded email they have to re-key into their own system.
Rate agreements that hold
Standing prices between two operators, versioned, and immutable once agreed. Nobody edits last month's rate after the job ran.
A track record made of evidence
Completed work, counted. Not a "verified" tick somebody was awarded for filling in a form — the only thing on your profile that a stranger should trust.
Tiered cascading dispatch
Offer a job to your best partners first, then widen automatically if nobody takes it — instead of ringing round in an order you hold in your head.
Invite operators who aren't here yet
Bring the affiliates you already work with straight from the list you already keep. They join free and you keep working exactly as you were, with a record of it.
And the one it refuses
No on-time performance score
Every network wants to show you a punctuality rating. We don't, because a partner's vehicle is not dispatched from this system and nothing here knows when it actually arrived. A number assembled from data we do not have would look authoritative and be fiction — the same unearned badge we refused to build a "verified" tick for. The track record shows completed work, which we can genuinely see.
Cascading dispatch
Your best partners first. Automatically.
You already have an order in your head — the operator you trust most, then the next, then the ones you'd rather not use. Cascading dispatch makes that order explicit and runs it for you: the job goes to tier one, waits, then widens if nobody takes it.
You stop making six phone calls in sequence to cover one Saturday, and the job stops sitting unassigned while you work through the list.

Not reached
It stops the moment somebody accepts. Tiers below that never see the job at all.
The honest comparison
The established network is bigger. It also charges you per job.
We are not going to pretend Connect has the supply an incumbent built over years. What it has instead is a different deal, and for an operator farming out steadily the difference compounds every single week.
Thousands of operators, and a fee on every completed job
Free to register, deliberately neutral across dispatch systems, genuinely large. But the model is a flat fee on every completed reservation — sent and received. You pay to farm out, and you pay again when somebody farms in to you.
Real supply today. A permanent line on every subcontracted job.
New, smaller, and it takes nothing per job
No per-trip fee in either direction — not on work you send, not on work you receive. Free to join, free to quote, free to accept, free to get paid.
Being early is the trade. The network is new and we are not going to dress that up. If you farm out regularly, the arithmetic on fees is the reason to be in both.
Nothing stops you using both. Connect does not ask for exclusivity and never will — an operator network that demands you leave the other one is asking you to take the risk it should be taking.
It costs nothing to be in it
Get listed. Quote work. Keep everything you earn.
A profile takes a few minutes and never expires. You don't need LimoPilot, you don't need a card, and there is no per-job fee waiting for you later.
