QuickCab: WooCommerce Taxi Booking Plugin

QuickCab is a powerful WordPress plugin for any business that provides transport as a service. It facilitates the price estimation, booking and payment of journeys. QuickCab has been professionally designed to provide a high quality user experience both for customers and admins.

QuickCab allows for the creation of multiple, complex pricing conditions to accommodate for any situation. You can charge based on distance, time, number of passengers, and number of luggage items. Alternatively, you can also use our powerful geofence pricing conditions allowing you to draw custom areas on a map and charge a specified amount to collect/drop off in that area. You can also add uber-style surge charges, for example multiplying fares by 1.5x in rush hour.

Because QuickCab is compatible with WooCommerce, it allows for a wide variety of options and customisations. Customers can pay by Card, Cash, PayPal or more. It is up to you how you customise the experience.

Vehicle Customisation

QuickCab allows you to create highly customisable vehicles with custom images, pricing structures, and vehicle information which QuickCab will use when calculating quotes for your customers.

The different pricing options for vehicles includes:

• Base price
• Price per mile/kilometer (including tiered pricing)
• Price per minute
• Price per hour (including tiered pricing)
• Price per passenger
• Price per suitcase

 

Geofence Pricing Conditions

QuickCab has the very powerful, market-leading feature of Geofence pricing rules. This allows you to draw custom areas on the map, if a customer is picked up in one of the regions and dropped off in the other you can either set a fixed price for that journey or increase it by an amount/multiplier.

Optionally, you can just draw one geofence area on the map and set the other location to ‘anywhere’. This will allow you to apply the custom pricing rule to any journey that begins or ends in a certain area. This would be useful if, for example, you want to charge an additional $5 to drop someone off at the airport.

 

 

Tiered Pricing Rules

QuickCab allows you to easily define a tiered pricing rule for either distance-based pricing rules, or duration-based.

You can define prices for certain ranges, for example 0-10 miles = £1.00/mile, 11-20 miles = £0.80/mile, 21+ miles = £0.60/mile.

 

Surge Pricing Rules

Define Uber-like surge pricing rules either for a fixed date and time, or for a regular weekly intervals.

You can either increase the price by a multiplier (e.g. x1.2) or by a fixed amount (e.g. +£2.00).

 

 

Fixed Addresses

If your business only picks up/drops off from certain destinations then you can make the user choose from a predefined list of addresses instead of letting them type it themselves.

 

Calendar View

Along with the default WooCommerce pages to manage and view your existing orders, QuickCab also provides a calendar view of orders to give you a quick view of upcoming orders.

There are multiple different time scales available (month, week, day, list) and you can choose your favourite in the QuickCab settings which will be used as the default. You can hover over each order in the calendar to get a quick overview of the important details.

 

Emails

The Journey Information is displayed in emails to both admins and customers to give a quick overview of the order.

 

Custom Checkout Fields

Create custom checkout fields to request extra information from your customers when booking. These can optionally be displayed in the confirmation email.

 

Multiple different input types can be selected with the option of making fields required
