Let customers book taxi and chauffeur rides

E-cab Pro Version extends E-cab Taxi Booking Manager for WooCommerce for taxi businesses, chauffeur services, airport transfers and local cab operators. Customers can request an immediate pickup or schedule a ride. Fares can be calculated by distance, time or custom criteria, and staff manage bookings in the WordPress dashboard. WooCommerce handles payments through its supported payment gateways.

Choose maps, fares and service hours

OpenStreetMap is the default map provider, with route mapping and distance calculation available without an API key. Google Maps offers faster place search and global address autocomplete; using it requires a Google Maps API key. Select the provider in the settings.

Choose hourly, distance-based or manual pricing. Rates can vary by zone, distance or vehicle type. Set operating hours for a defined schedule or allow service 24 hours a day. On the map, define transport operation areas and use geo-fencing to set different prices for intercity and intracity trips.

Collect trip details and manage availability

Customize checkout fields by adding, editing or removing fields, such as one for a flight number. Paid waiting time can add an automated charge when a pickup takes longer, for example because of a flight delay or luggage collection. Set transport quantities and booking intervals to help manage fleet availability and prevent overbooking.

The driver management panel lets administrators assign vehicles to drivers. Drivers can track service status, and automated email notifications alert the relevant parties when changes occur. The advanced order list also lets staff edit orders, change driver assignments and manage each booking through its lifecycle.

Keep trip entries and receipts available

Synchronize booking details with the administrator’s Google Calendar. Customers can also receive a link to add their trip to a personal calendar. Customize order confirmation emails and automatically send PDF receipts or invoices after successful payments.

Set up airport routes and mixed pricing

Airport transfer shortcodes can show fixed pickup and drop-off points, such as a route from downtown to an airport. A zone-to-point option lets customers choose a pickup from an operation area and a drop-off at a designated place. With hybrid pricing, a shortcode can apply a fixed price within an operation area, manual prices for specific destinations and distance or duration pricing for other locations.

Add the booking form to your website

Add a booking form with the Gutenberg Site Editor block or Elementor widget. The responsive, mobile-first design works with bookings on smartphones, tablets and desktop screens.

1. Choose a map provider and pricing model.
2. Set operating hours, rates, operation areas, vehicles and booking intervals.
3. Add the booking form with Gutenberg or Elementor, then review its checkout fields and payment flow.
4. Customers choose an immediate or scheduled ride and provide the requested details.
5. WooCommerce processes the payment, and staff manage the booking from the WordPress dashboard.

To use Google Maps, make a project in Google Cloud Console, enable the Google Maps JavaScript API and generate an API key. OpenStreetMap can be used without an API key.
