Frequently Asked Questions
How much does taxi app development cost?
A basic MVP taxi app with passenger app, driver app, and admin panel starts from $15,000. A full-featured platform with surge pricing, analytics, and advanced dispatch costs $25,000. Enterprise multi-city platforms with white-label capability start from $45,000.
How long does it take to build a taxi app?
An MVP taxi app takes approximately 3 months. A standard platform with surge pricing and analytics takes 4 months. An enterprise multi-city platform with white-label features takes around 6 months from kickoff to launch.
What technology stack do you use for taxi apps?
We build taxi apps with React Native for cross-platform iOS and Android apps, Node.js for the backend, PostgreSQL and Redis for data storage, Google Maps SDK for GPS tracking and routing, and Stripe or local payment gateways for in-app payments.
What payment integrations do you support?
We integrate Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and regional payment gateways. The platform supports cash payments, card payments, and in-app wallet top-ups. Drivers receive automatic payouts after each completed ride.
Can the taxi app scale to multiple cities?
Yes. Our enterprise tier is designed for multi-city deployment with city-specific pricing zones, local payment gateways, and white-label support. The architecture uses microservices and cloud infrastructure that scales horizontally as demand grows.
Can you build a white-label taxi app we can rebrand?
Yes. Our Standard and Enterprise tiers are built as white-label platforms β your logo, colors, and domain. You can resell access to other taxi companies or deploy across multiple cities under your own brand.
Does the app work without internet?
Core booking and navigation features require internet. However, we implement offline caching for the driver app β drivers can still see their current trip details and navigate using cached map tiles if connectivity drops briefly.
How do you handle surge pricing?
We implement dynamic pricing algorithms that factor in real-time supply/demand, time of day, weather events, and custom multiplier rules you define. Drivers see potential earnings and passengers see the fare estimate before confirming.
