Chiron and individually remunerated passenger transport in Flanders
Why Chiron exists
Since the reform of individually remunerated passenger transport (IBP) in Flanders, every trip must be traceable: who booked, when the vehicle left, when it arrived. Chiron centralises this data for Flemish authorities and ensures transparency in the taxi and VTC sector.
Who must declare
The operator holding the IBP licence is responsible for transmissions. Whether you manage a classic taxi fleet, Uber drivers or Bolt drivers — declarations go through your management software, not through the driver individually.
Automate to avoid fines
Missed transmissions, incomplete data or gaps between booking and departure are the most common causes of non-compliance. Dispatch connected to Chiron reduces these risks and saves administrative time.
Where to start
New to Chiron? Start by understanding how it works, then read the IBP licence guide, connect your company to Chiron before the Uber or Bolt guides. If you face a control, see the fines and taxi control guides.
