Pre-booked rides in Dubai, quoted, paid and assigned to a car on one website.

Codeeo builds booking and payment websites for licensed limousine, chauffeur and airport transfer operators in Dubai. A rider enters a pickup and destination, sees the fare your company has set for that route and vehicle class, pays by card, Apple Pay or a corporate account, and receives a confirmation with a VAT invoice. Your controllers then see the paid job in a schedule with the right car and driver available, instead of chasing a deposit on WhatsApp.

The point is cash certainty. A trip that is paid before the driver leaves the depot is a trip you can plan around, and a clear cancellation policy shown at checkout settles most disputes before they start. Riders also get what they want: a fixed price, a named driver and a receipt they can claim back.

What the booking platform includes

From fare quote to settled payment, built around pre-booked trips.

Taking money for a ride before it happens creates questions a contact form never has to answer. What if the flight lands three hours late? What if the rider cancels the night before, or the morning of? Who pays the Salik toll on the way to Jebel Ali? Can a company be billed monthly instead of paying each trip? Our taxi booking online booking system development in Dubai starts by writing those rules down with your operations and finance leads, then turning them into fare tables, checkout terms and admin controls. The rider sees a clear price and policy; your team sees paid jobs, refunds and invoices in one place; your accountant sees records that reconcile with the payment provider. Each capability below is configurable from the admin area, so changing a fare or a cancellation window does not require a developer.

Explain your project
  • Route and vehicle fare engine

    Fares come from tables your company controls: fixed prices for airport zones, distance or time rates for other trips, hourly packages, and surcharges for night pickups or extra stops, all within the terms of your licence. Riders pick a vehicle class and see the total before entering any card details. Promotional codes for partners can reduce a fare without editing the table itself.

    Quotes are consistent, and dispatchers stop pricing trips by hand.

  • Flight aware airport bookings

    For DXB and Al Maktoum International pickups the form captures flight number and terminal, and your policy sets free waiting time after landing. Optional flight status checks adjust the job time when a flight is delayed, so the booking does not become a no show through no fault of the rider. Meet and greet with a name board can be sold as an add on at checkout.

    Fewer disputed airport charges and fewer wasted driver hours.

  • Checkout and payment methods

    Card payments through a UAE acquirer or gateway, Apple Pay and Google Pay on mobile, and saved cards for repeat riders where your provider supports tokenisation. For larger bookings such as multi day chauffeur hire, Tabby or Tamara can be offered if your merchant agreements allow it.

    Riders pay in the way they already use, in a few taps.

  • Deposits, holds and full prepayment

    Choose per service whether to take full payment, a deposit or a card authorisation captured after the trip. Hourly bookings that may run over can be authorised for a set amount and settled once the driver closes the job, with the final receipt sent automatically. Unused authorisations are released promptly so riders are not left with held funds.

    Payment rules match the risk of each trip type.

  • Cancellations, changes and refunds

    Time based cancellation windows, change fees and refund rules shown clearly at checkout and in the confirmation. Riders can amend or cancel from a link in their email; refunds are issued through the original payment method and logged against the booking for your finance team.

    Refund decisions follow written policy, not memory.

  • Driver and vehicle scheduling

    A calendar view of paid and pending jobs by vehicle class, with availability rules that stop the site selling more SUVs than you have on a busy Friday. Controllers assign drivers, swap cars and see gaps, or the job is passed to your existing dispatch software. Buffer times between jobs account for traffic on Sheikh Zayed Road at peak hours.

    The website never accepts a trip your fleet cannot cover.

  • Corporate and hotel accounts

    Approved companies and hotels book under an account with booker permissions, cost centres and passenger names, then pay by monthly invoice instead of per trip. Account managers see statements and download VAT invoices from a portal. Each booker sees only their own company's trips.

    Business riders book without card friction, and you keep credit control.

  • VAT invoices and tolls on receipts

    Every paid trip produces a tax invoice with your TRN and the correct VAT treatment agreed with your accountant. Salik charges, parking and waiting time can be added after the trip as separate lines, with the rider notified before any extra amount is captured.

    Receipts that riders and their finance teams accept first time.

  • Reminders and trip messages

    Confirmation, reminder and driver details by email, SMS or WhatsApp Business at the times you choose, in English or Arabic. Messages include the driver's name and vehicle plate once assigned, and a link to change or cancel within your policy. Message timing can differ for airport, hourly and corporate trips.

    Riders know exactly who is collecting them, and when.

  • Finance and booking reports

    Daily takings, refunds, outstanding corporate balances, cancellations by reason and revenue by vehicle class, exportable to your accounting system. Payment provider settlements are matched to bookings so month end does not mean a spreadsheet hunt. Managers can also see which routes and vehicle classes earn most per driver hour.

    Finance closes the month from data, not screenshots.

Who this is for

Operators that gain most from paid online booking.

Online prepayment suits trips that are planned ahead, which is most chauffeur and transfer work in Dubai. It suits street hail taxis far less, since those are governed by RTA meters and tariffs. Taxi booking booking website design for each of the operators below starts from different priorities: some care most about airport flows, others about corporate credit, others about volume during exhibitions at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

01

Airport transfer operators

Your riders book from abroad, often days ahead, and expect a confirmed price in their own currency view and a clear meeting point. A prepaid booking site removes the awkward conversation about payment in the arrivals hall, and flight aware timing protects you from late landings. We prioritise the airport flow, zone fares and multilingual confirmations. Child seats, extra luggage and pet transport can be priced as add ons where you offer them.

Displayed currency conversions are indicative; charges are made in dirhams.

02

Chauffeur firms selling hourly and multi day hire

Hourly packages, full day hire for a delegation and wedding cars all carry more risk than a single transfer. Deposits, authorisations and clear overrun rules matter most. We build package selection, deposit logic and post trip settlement so the final bill is captured cleanly without a second card request. Riders can extend a booking from their confirmation link, with the extra time charged at your hourly rate.

03

Hotel and serviced apartment operators

Guests want to book a car from their room or before arrival and charge it to a card or their folio. We can build a branded booking site for the property, with rules for which trips the hotel fleet covers and which go to a partner operator, and invoices issued by the right entity. Front office staff can also book on a guest's behalf from a simple desk screen.

04

Operators with heavy corporate demand

Companies around DIFC, Business Bay and Dubai Internet City send staff and visitors daily, and they want one invoice per month. Account booking, booker permissions, approval rules and statements become the core of the platform, with card payment kept for walk in riders. Reports per company show trip counts and spend, which helps your sales team renew contracts.

Credit limits and terms are set by your finance team.

How the booking platform is planned, built and launched.

Questions operators ask before taking ride payments online.

It depends on fare complexity, payment setup and the dispatch connection.

A platform for airport transfers with zone fares and card payments is simpler than one with hourly packages, corporate accounts, flight tracking and an API link into dispatch. Merchant account approval from the payment provider can also set the pace, so we start that application early. The schedule is fixed in the scope once the rules workshop is complete. Launching first with a few core routes is often the quickest way to start taking paid bookings.
