Information correct as of: 6th November 2025
How settle payments work
Delta offers seven weekly operator fee options. For full details, please see the Settle Scheme Guide.
1. Operator Fees and Conditions
Weekly Operator Fees, including VAT, apply to all drivers. To avoid additional charges, drivers must meet the following conditions:
Payment must clear into Delta’s nominated bank account by 23:59 on Thursday, the first day of the settle week. This includes drivers on any weekend-only plan.
Drivers must accept passengers who pay on account.
Drivers must accept card or contactless payments using a card payment terminal.
If any of the above conditions are not met:
- A £5 charge, including VAT, applies for each unmet condition relating to payment timing or account work.
- A £10 charge, including VAT, applies if the card/contactless payment condition is not met.
2. Charging Period
The charging period runs from 00:01 Thursday to 23:59 Wednesday.
3. Pausing Service
Drivers can pause their operator service for seven or more consecutive days. To receive a daily refund for unused service, drivers must:
- Notify admin support before the pause begins.
- Notify admin support before returning to work.
4. Payment Details
Payments should be made directly to Delta’s account:
