Industry: Private hire & passenger transport

Private hire & passenger transport: the website that wins you fares with no commission.

Airport and station transfers, hourly hire, business accounts: receive bookings directly, with no commission taken, and build a customer base that comes back.

★★★★★ 4.8/5 on Google · more than 100 projects delivered

Why now

The platforms take your margin

Most private hire drivers depend on the platforms. They take a large commission on every fare, and above all they own the customer relationship: the passenger is theirs, not yours.

In practice

What your website must do for your private hire fares

Four situations we often come across in your line of work, and what your website changes in each one.

Situation 01

Airport and station transfers

This is the most searched-for direct fare, and the one where you are least visible: travellers open an app out of habit.

Our answer

One page per route, with the journey, the duration, the stated price and a three-field booking form.

What it changesTravellers planning their trip find you before they open their app.

Situation 02

Hourly hire and events

Seminars, conferences, corporate evenings: these requests are prepared weeks in advance and never go through an app.

Our answer

A page dedicated to hourly, half-day and full-day packages, with a form that captures the date and the number of passengers.

What it changesYou win higher-margin work, decided in advance, where the platforms are absent.

Situation 03

Business travel and business accounts

A business does not book like an individual: it wants a contact person, regularity and grouped invoicing.

Our answer

A separate journey for business accounts, with an agreement request and clearly stated terms.

What it changesYou move from single fares to recurring contracts, with a predictable schedule.

Situation 04

Long distance and intercity journeys

Over several hundred kilometres, passengers compare and want to speak to someone before committing.

Our answer

An online quote with route calculation, and a call back available for requests that fall outside the usual scope.

What it changesThe price is clear before the call, and the conversation is about the service rather than the fare.

A single point of contact, from the first mock-up to go-live.

Depending on your business

An approach suited to each type of customer

A traveller heading to the airport and an assistant managing an executive's travel do not book in the same way. The website follows each of them.

The website's goal

Receive direct bookings with the price known before departure.

Who looks at it

Business travellers, families, tourists, hotel guests.

Key pages

Page per frequent route, quote with route calculation, booking, reviews.

What triggers contact

A fixed price displayed for their journey and a confirmed booking.

They talk about their experience

What our clients remember: listening, deadlines met, and a result that reflects who they are.

Six steps, fare booked

Private hire customers want to know their route and price before they get in. We give you the same clarity: steps described, priced, and started only with your approval.

Step 01

The discovery call

Airport transfers, stations, hourly hire, business accounts: in a thirty-minute call, we measure the share of your fares that goes through platforms. You keep our opinion, with no commitment.

Step 02

The route scoping session

Route calculation, online booking, one page per frequent route, an area for your business accounts: each feature is described and priced. You sign knowing exactly what you will get.

Step 03

Booking mock-ups

You see every screen from quote to confirmation, on a phone, before any code. You book a test fare like a customer, and we adjust.

Step 04

Developing the quote

Route calculation, booking, website pages: we build them in that order, on a private version. You approve each part before we move on to the next.

Step 05

A tested launch

We run quotes on your real routes, check each confirmation and set up your Google profile. You then learn how to change your price lists and the presentation of your vehicles.

Step 06

Support for your routes

A route is added, a vehicle changes, a business account comes on board: we update the pages and booking settings, and keep everything in good working order.

The honest question

The fare is booked before the journey

An airport transfer is arranged the day before, hourly hire several weeks in advance, and a business contract is negotiated. None of these decisions is made in the street: they are made online, most often from a search engine.

That is exactly where an app is no use to you, and where a website belongs to you. The driver who can be found at that precise moment keeps the whole fare.

  1. 01
    Commission is not inevitableA direct booking is shared with no one.
  2. 02
    The frequent route is your keywordOne page per route, and you show up in search.
  3. 03
    A business is worth more than a fareA signed account brings in revenue every month.
  4. 04
    The customer is yoursThey call you back instead of reopening an app.
We can hear you from here.

Your questions as a driver

Not on last-minute fares, where they are unbeatable. On planned transfers, hourly hire and business accounts, yes: these requests go through online search, not through an app.

Yes. A custom tool can, for example, allocate bookings between your drivers, invoice business accounts at the end of the month and track fares and payments. It stays easy to use on the phone, between journeys.

Route calculation and online booking, with or without payment, shape the budget of a private hire website, as does the area reserved for business accounts. Starting point: €1,490 for a redesign, €2,490 for a new website, at a fixed price.

Yes. At the start, we import your fares already scheduled, your regular customers and your price list. After that, the tool syncs with your calendar and prepares what your accountant needs each month, without you retyping a single fare.

Yes, and we even recommend it at first. The website is there to gradually increase the share of direct fares, not to cut off your income overnight.

Yes. A booking requested or paid for on the website can arrive directly in the schedule, and a client area can let businesses find their fares and invoices. A website that brings requests in, a tool that handles them.
