Taxi Fleet & Sharing Ride Hailing

You need a booking platform, pricing rules, and a way to dispatch drivers. With Pludor, select Taxi Fleet & Ride Hailing as your store type, set your base fare, per-mile and per-minute rates, then add drivers and share your booking link with passengers. You keep your own brand and don't pay the 25%+ commissions typical of third-party ride apps.

Third-party ride apps commonly take 25% or more of each fare. Running your own fleet platform avoids that entirely - Pludor charges 0% fare commissions on rides, so you only pay Pludor's standard platform fee of 4.99% + $0.90 per paid online order. Cash rides recorded in POS carry no platform fee at all.

Set a Base Pickup Fare, a Per-Mile or Per-Kilometer Rate, a Per-Minute Traffic Rate, and a Minimum Trip Fare. In Pludor this is done under Fleet Pricing Settings, and you can configure different rates for each vehicle tier like Economy Sedan, Comfort Executive, or XL Passenger Van. The system then calculates upfront fare estimates for passengers automatically.

Yes, WhatsApp is one of the easiest booking channels since customers already use it daily. Passengers can send pickup and dropoff addresses directly over WhatsApp or use your store link. With Pludor's Wayfare dispatch, both channels calculate an upfront fare estimate, match a nearby driver, and give the passenger live GPS tracking of their ride.

Vehicle tiers let you charge different rates for different car classes, like Economy Sedan, Comfort Executive, or XL Passenger Van. In Pludor, you add drivers under Driver Management and assign them to vehicle classes, then set separate pricing for each tier under Fleet Pricing Settings. This way a van ride prices differently from a standard sedan.

When a passenger books a ride, the system calculates the fare and matches them with the nearest available driver. Passengers get a live GPS tracking link showing their driver approaching. Pludor's Wayfare dispatching handles this automatically once you activate the Taxi Fleet & Ride Hailing store type.

Yes, running your own platform is a normal business model - the main things to get right are driver vetting, clear pricing, and reliable dispatch. A platform like Pludor gives you driver management, upfront fare estimates, and GPS tracking so passengers still get the transparency they expect from big apps. You also control your brand and customer relationships directly.

You need a central dashboard where you can add drivers, assign vehicles, and see bookings as they happen. Pludor's Driver Management section lets you onboard drivers and assign them to vehicle tiers, while bookings and dispatch flow through the same dashboard. You can also add team staff accounts so a dispatcher can help manage operations.

No app is required - passengers can book from a simple web link, which is easier than getting them to download something. With Pludor, passengers enter pickup and dropoff addresses on your store link or message you on WhatsApp, and everything else (fare estimate, driver matching, GPS tracking) happens automatically. This removes the cost of building and maintaining your own app.

Pludor's free plan keeps your store, checkout, and orders on every month at no cost - you pay only for what you use past the free amounts, in credits worth 1 cent each. Rides carry 0% fare commission; the standard platform fee is 4.99% + $0.90 per paid online order, and cash rides recorded in POS have no platform fee. Optional paid plans bundle credits at lower fees if your fleet gets busy.
