Top 10 Features of Taxi Booking App That Benefits Your Riders

Taxi booking apps are an excellent idea for entrepreneurs who are looking for rapid growth in the industry. These taxi booking apps stand as a bridge between riders and drivers. People prefer to choose cabs that can be booked beforehand rather than catching a taxi on the go. Online on-demand taxi booking apps have hit the market at a greater height with smartphone users all over the world.

There are many taxi booking apps that are developed by multiple companies and everybody is unique in their own way. Features that are offered for both riders and drivers play an important role in the growth of this business.

Riders must not be hassled during the sign-up, keeping it simple gives the rider a good opinion of the app. Having a long signup would make them abandon the app at that stage.

Just collect basic pieces of information like,

• First and Last Name
• Mobile Number
• Email
• Password

2. Vehicle Categories

Riders must be given multiple categories of vehicles to choose from. This helps the riders to check which would be suitable for them and also the price for each category must be displayed below every vehicle.

By checking the prices riders can choose the most affordable one and get started with the trip.

With this feature, the rider can check the exact location of the cab that he/she has booked as well as the live status of the journey, this will improve the rider's experience. Riders can also see the time when they will reach the drop location and also the live traffic will be updated accordingly.

4. In-App Chat

This feature is also beneficial for drivers as well.

This feature will be beneficial for riders who travel alone or use to travel late at night.

9. Scheduling Ride

This feature allows riders to schedule rides for a particular date or time based on their convenience. By scheduling a ride the riders need not worry about the availability of the drivers.

For example, if you have a flight to catch tomorrow at a particular time, booking a taxi on the spot will not be a great option, in this case, scheduling the ride one day prior will help you in avoiding the waiting time for a cab.

10. Reviews and Ratings

Riders must have the option to give reviews/ratings about the trip. These reviews and ratings determine how satisfied the trip was for the rider. Also, Admin can manage all these reviews and ratings from the admin panel, this lets the admin know more about the drivers.
