Demo

DemoTransfers is a fictional taxi company built by FareBookings to show the booking system on a real website. The bookings are live; the company is not.

The system behind this website

Powered by FareBookings

DemoTransfers is not a real company. It exists to answer one question for taxi operators looking at FareBookings: what does it actually look like on my website?

What it is

One system from the quote to the driver's phone

FareBookings is booking and dispatch software for taxi and transfer companies. The passenger side is the form you used on the home page: pickup, destination, price, payment. The operator side is everything that happens after that — the booking arriving, a driver being assigned, the job being tracked to completion.

The point is that it is one system rather than several. The price the passenger sees comes from the rates you configured. The job the driver receives is the same record the passenger booked. Nothing is retyped between the two.

  • Your website, your brand. The widget sits inside your pages — the site you are reading is an example of exactly that.
  • Quotes without a phone call. Passengers get a price and book at two in the morning, without anyone answering.
  • Prices you control. Set your rates once and the system applies them to every route and vehicle type.
  • Dispatch in the same place. Confirmed bookings arrive in a panel where you assign drivers and follow each job.
  • Apps that open in a browser. Driver and passenger apps are PWAs — no app store, no downloads to chase.
  • A website if you need one. If you have no site to embed the widget into, one can be built around it.
The part that changed things was not the website. It was that a booking taken at midnight is already priced, already paid and already sitting in the dispatch queue when someone opens it in the morning.

Why this site runs on it

Built for the work, not the demo

A demo is easy to make convincing and easy to make hollow. So this one uses a standard FareBookings account with nothing added: the same widget, the same four-step flow and the same booking record an operator gets on day one.

When you fill in the form on the home page, you are using the live system. That is the whole reason this website exists.

Key functions

What you get with an account

Online booking widget

Embed the quote form on any website with a snippet of HTML. The booking flow continues on your own domain.

Automatic fixed pricing

Your rates, applied to every route and vehicle type, so passengers see a firm price instead of an estimate.

Dispatch software

Assign bookings to drivers, see what is coming up and follow each job through to completion in one panel.

Driver and passenger apps

Progressive web apps. Drivers open a link and are working; there is no app store review and no version to chase.

Turnkey websites

No website to embed into? One can be built around the booking flow, the way this one was.

A fixed plan, no commission

You pay for the plan, not per journey. No percentage comes out of any fare you take.

Any country

Leeds is the example, not the limit

This demo had to be set somewhere, so it is set in Leeds, in English, in pounds. None of that is a constraint of the software.

  • Your country and cities. The service area is whatever you decide to cover.
  • Your currency. Fares are quoted and charged in the currency you operate in.
  • Your language. The booking flow is shown to passengers in the language you configure.
  • Your rates and rules. Pricing, vehicle types and waiting policies are yours to set.

When you open an account, it is configured for where you actually work — not for Leeds.
