Chapara puts digital screens in the back of Bristol's taxis and private-hire cars.

A tablet is mounted on the back of a headrest and shows a rotating selection of still adverts while the car is working. Chapara installs and manages the device remotely. We can check whether it’s online and which adverts are playing; drivers cannot change the advertising content. The adverts have no sound, and the tablet does not record passengers. Drivers do not pay for the equipment or need to set it up.

We're starting in Bristol and the surrounding areas, and growing. Tell us the neighbourhoods or routes you care about and we'll match your campaign to vehicles working them.

Yes. You can request a change at any time during your campaign. We can update the advert and send it to you for approval, or you can provide your own revised design in the required size and format. Once approved, we’ll replace the advert across your campaign.

We report a passenger-reach estimate range based on verified weekly activity from the vehicles carrying your advert, plus QR scan counts. Every figure is operator-reviewed before you see it. We never promise guaranteed views or exact impressions.

Each campaign runs across 10 vehicles and is available for 1, 3 or 6 months. We estimate that your advert could be seen by around 3,000–3,500 passengers per month across those vehicles. The price depends on the campaign length. Create a business account or contact us for a quote.

Every driver and vehicle is reviewed and approved before a single advert goes live, including the required documents. Only active, verified vehicles can carry campaigns.

No. There's no passenger tracking and no personal data collected. QR scans are counted anonymously, so reporting stays private and respectful.

Sign up with your vehicle details, upload a photo of your number plate and accept the network agreement. We check it over, and once you're approved we'll arrange to fit the screen. After that it's a short weekly check-in to confirm the advert is running. There's nothing to buy and no deposit.

Drivers are paid every month for each advert running on their car. Your pay for each week depends on how long the tablet is on while you drive and on your trips, counted from the weekly screenshot you send us. Hit the weekly targets and you earn the full rate. Your monthly statement shows exactly how it was worked out.

No. The screen, installation and setup are provided by Chapara at no cost to the driver.

You can earn up to £100, depending on the number of active campaigns running on your screen. We currently pay £5 per campaign, with a target of up to 20 campaigns per month.

If you refer a business to Chapara and they become a paying advertiser, you currently receive 20% of their first payment as a referral reward. For example, if 5 businesses you refer each choose our £349 three-month package, the total first payments would be £1,745. Your 20% referral reward would be £349. Referral earnings depend on how many successful referrals you make and which advertising package they choose.

No. Chapara manages the screen and advertising content remotely. You do not need to upload or change adverts yourself.

No. You can drive as normal. If a passenger asks about an advertiser, you may provide the basic information supplied by Chapara.

Yes. The screen should be running while you are working so active campaigns can be displayed correctly.

Advertising campaigns are managed by Chapara. The adverts shown on each screen are selected and controlled through our system.

The screen and associated equipment remain the property of Chapara while they are provided to you.

Contact Chapara and we’ll help diagnose the issue and arrange support, repair or replacement where required.

Yes. You can leave in accordance with the driver agreement and return the Chapara equipment as required.

The equipment is installed using a suitable in-car mounting system designed to be removable when required.

Yes. The screen is designed to be easy to remove and reinstall. If you are working late at night or in a situation where you would prefer not to leave the screen visible, you can remove it and store it securely in your vehicle. When you are ready to use it again, it can be fitted back into place quickly and easily. We simply ask that you keep the screen safe while it is removed and reinstall it when you are working under normal conditions.

Our screens are mainly available to drivers who work regularly and carry at least 70 passengers per week. This helps ensure our advertisers receive enough visibility from each screen. You don’t necessarily need to work traditional full-time hours, but you must be able to show that you normally carry around 70 or more passengers each week to qualify.

The installation is quick and straightforward. We’ll arrange a suitable time with you and make sure everything is fitted correctly before you leave.

Yes. The screen does not stop you from using your vehicle normally, and it can be removed temporarily when needed.

The screen is expected to be active while you are working and carrying passengers, as this is when advertising campaigns are delivered.

We’ll review your application, check your eligibility and current screen availability, and then contact you with the next steps.

This depends on device availability and whether your application meets the current requirements. We onboard drivers in stages.
