Chauffeur booking software
Chauffeur work is not taxi work with nicer cars. The job is agreed in advance at a known price, the passenger is often not the person paying, the client may be an account billed monthly, and the standard the customer is measuring is whether everything happened exactly as promised.

That changes what the software has to be good at. Allocation matters less than it does for street work; quoting, confirming, invoicing and presentation matter far more.
The job, as your dispatcher sees it
One record holds the passenger, the route, the flight, the assigned driver and the money — so nothing about the ride lives in somebody’s phone.

What makes chauffeur bookings different
The gap between a quote and a ride is the defining feature. A chauffeur booking usually begins as an enquiry, becomes a quote with a price and a validity period, gets accepted, and only then becomes a job. Software built for immediate dispatch has no natural place for that middle stage, so it ends up in email — which is exactly where quotes go to be forgotten.
The second difference is who the customer is. A corporate account books for passengers who never see a price, wants one invoice a month rather than a payment link per ride, and expects the same standard every time. That means billing details on the company, not the traveller, and invoices that consolidate correctly.
The third is presentation. Your customer paid for an executive service; a confirmation email carrying a software vendor's branding undermines that in a way it simply does not for a minicab. White-labelling is not vanity in this segment, it is the product.
Every way work reaches you
Website, widget, WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger, Telegram, live chat, email, phone and marketplace partners — all landing in the same place.
Priced by your rate card, on the server
The route is measured once and every vehicle class is priced from your own rates, so no channel can quietly undercut you.

What a chauffeur operation needs from the software
Quotes as a real stage
Build a quote with line items, send it as a branded document, give it a validity date, and let the client accept or decline it on a page rather than by replying to an email. A declined quote is data; an unanswered one is just silence.
Account customers and company billing
Billing details attached to the company rather than the passenger, VAT numbers on the invoice, and the ability to invoice after the fact rather than collecting card details for every ride.
Flight tracking and meet-and-greet
Scheduled and actual landing times, terminal and gate where the data provides them, and waiting time handled as a policy rather than an argument. Most executive airport complaints are really timing complaints.
Hourly hire and multi-stop journeys
As-directed bookings priced by the hour, with included distance and a defined overage rule, plus intermediate stops on point-to-point work. Chauffeur work is full of jobs that are not simply A to B.
Vehicle classes that mean something
Business, first, van, electric — each with its own rates, capacity and, where you need it, a fixed price for named routes. Groups needing several cars should be one booking to the client and several jobs to dispatch.
Your brand end to end
Your domain, your logo, your colours and your sending address across the booking form, the confirmation, the payment page and the invoice.
Confirmation you can prove
For cash and account work, a signed confirmation page gives you a record that the passenger agreed the details — useful when a no-show becomes a dispute.
Partners and subcontracting
Executive work is covered by a network as often as by your own fleet. Forwarding at an agreed margin, with the partner's vehicles and drivers approved in advance, keeps that organised.
A payment page per booking
Your own Stripe, PayPal or SumUp account, the full booking summary on the page, and a compliant invoice behind it.
Rentals, with the paperwork attached
Day rates and duration discounts, included kilometres, condition at handover and return, and an agreement the customer signs.

From enquiry to paid invoice
- 1
The enquiry arrives
From your site, an email, a WhatsApp message or a phone call. However it comes in, it becomes one record with a contact attached.
- 2
You quote it
Priced from your rate card, with any extras as line items, sent as a branded PDF and a page the client can accept on. The quote carries a validity date so an old price cannot be claimed months later.
- 3
The client accepts
Acceptance is recorded — who accepted, when, and the exact figures agreed — and the job enters your board for a human to check a car is free. Acceptance is a contract, so nothing is silently re-priced afterwards.
- 4
You dispatch and confirm
Assign your own chauffeur or forward to a partner. The driver confirms, and the client gets one confirmation with the vehicle, the driver and the pickup arrangements.
- 5
You invoice
Per ride or consolidated for the account, with a consecutive number and correct VAT. Extras sold after the invoice was issued get their own linked document rather than quietly changing a sent one.
Your brand, your domain
Your colours, your logo and your sending address, on a hostname you own. Customers never learn what software you run.
Booking page, panel & emails — 100% your brand, none of ours
How a booking moves
Arrive, get priced, get a driver, get confirmed, get paid — the same path whichever channel it came from.
Sign up & make it yours
Create your organization, set your rate card, connect your domain and drop in your logo and colour.
Take bookings everywhere
Point your website at RideDesk, plug in the API, forward marketplace jobs, or add them by hand.
Dispatch & get paid
Approve, assign a driver or partner, send the pay link, and let the automations handle the rest.
The detail most operators underestimate
Ask any prospective vendor to send you the actual confirmation email a customer would receive, on your own branding, and open it on a phone. In executive work that email is a bigger part of the service than the dispatch board, and it is almost never shown in a demo.
What comes with it
The capabilities that turn a booking list into a business you can run from one screen.
Built-in CRM
Every booker becomes a customer record — history, documents, billing details, lifetime value.
Two-way inbox & WhatsApp
Reply to customers by email or WhatsApp from inside each booking. No separate app.
Live flight status
Airport pickups track the flight automatically — delays surface before the driver leaves.
Bookable by AI agents
A per-tenant MCP endpoint lets AI assistants get a quote and book — priced by your rules, never theirs.
Quote-to-booking analytics
See what visitors entered, which class they picked, and where they dropped off the funnel.
Automations & reminders
Confirmations, driver reminders, payment chasers and a morning digest — on autopilot.
Frequently asked questions
What is chauffeur booking software?
It is the system that manages pre-booked executive car work end to end: enquiries and quotes, agreed prices, assigning chauffeurs or partners, confirming with the client, tracking flights, and invoicing — usually under the operator's own brand rather than the vendor's.
How is it different from taxi dispatch software?
Chauffeur work is pre-booked at an agreed price, often for an account customer, and judged on precision and presentation. Taxi dispatch is optimised for allocating immediate jobs quickly. The overlap is real but the emphasis is different: quoting, invoicing and branding versus speed of allocation.
Can it handle corporate accounts billed monthly?
It should. Look for billing details held on the company rather than the passenger, VAT numbers on the invoice, and the ability to invoice after the ride rather than taking payment per booking. If you cannot bill a company that never sees a price, the product is not built for this segment.
Does it do hourly and as-directed hire?
It needs to. Hourly bookings should be priced by the hour with an included distance and a clear rule for exceeding it, alongside normal point-to-point pricing. A system that only understands A-to-B will make you price half your work by hand.
Will my customers see the software vendor's name?
With a properly white-labelled system, no — the booking form, the emails, the payment page and the invoice all carry your brand and send from your domain. This varies a lot between vendors and is often an add-on, so confirm it explicitly and ask to see a real email.
Can I keep my existing website?
Yes. An embeddable booking widget drops into a site you already have, including WordPress, and a documented API covers custom builds. You should not have to move your website to change your dispatch software.
How do you handle group bookings needing several cars?
The right model is one booking for the client and one job per car for dispatch, so each vehicle can have its own chauffeur while the client still gets a single confirmation, a single payment and a single invoice. Systems that model it as one row per booking force you to run the second car off the books.
What about jobs I pass to other operators?
Subcontracting should be modelled explicitly: forward the job to an approved partner at an agreed margin, keep the client-facing communication yours, and track what you owe. Partner vehicles and drivers should be approved before they can be used.
Do chauffeurs need to install an app?
Not necessarily. A private link per chauffeur opens their jobs on any phone with nothing to install and no password, which matters when you use subcontracted drivers who will not install your software.
Does it work for airport transfer specialists?
Yes, and flight tracking is the feature to scrutinise. Check that it shows actual landing times rather than just the schedule, and that your waiting-time policy is expressed in the system rather than in your head.
