You can pay online by card when you book (that's how you get the 20% discount), by card in the car with the driver, by monthly invoice on a business account, or in cash. Booking online fixes the fare and the payment before you travel, so there's nothing to sort out at 4am on the doorstep.

Paying online (and why it's cheaper)
When you book online you pay by card there and then, and the fare drops by 20% against the phone price. The amount you see is the amount that leaves your account. There's no deposit-now-balance-later split and no booking fee added at the end. You get a confirmation email with the driver's number and the full price in writing.
Paying in the car
If you'd rather settle with the driver, you can. Every car takes contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay, as well as cash. The fare is still the fixed price you were quoted, however long you sit in Bedminster traffic.
Business accounts: no card at all
If you or your finance team are booking regularly, a business account means nobody hands over a card. Rides go onto one monthly invoice with 30-day payment terms, cost-centre and PO references, and a named account manager. There's no setup fee and no minimum spend. Full detail is on our corporate travel page.
The honest version
If you're only ever going to book one airport run, just pay by card online and take the 20% off. The account only earns its keep once you're booking a few times a month and someone has to reconcile the receipts. We'd rather you paid the simplest way that fits, not the one with the most features.
