The booking is the start of every transportation job, and it is the easiest place to lose one. A missed call, a contact form that just sends an email, a price the customer has to wait for: each of those is a booking that goes to whoever responded faster. Transportation booking software exists to capture a complete, priced, confirmed booking the moment a customer is ready, then hand it straight to the rest of your operation.

This page is for limo, taxi, shuttle, and tour operators who want their bookings captured cleanly instead of scattered across calls, texts, and a form that only sends an email.

What booking software should actually do

A contact form collects a name and a hope. Real booking software prices the trip, takes the details, confirms it, and drops it into your schedule. Ride Sync does all of that with an online booking and quote widget you put on your site.

An online booking and quote widget

A customer enters their trip and sees an instant quote built from your rate rules, then books, at any hour, from their phone. The booking lands in your system as a reservation with the time, address, vehicle type, and notes attached. You are capturing jobs while you sleep, not returning voicemails the next morning. The limo-specific version of this is covered in limo booking software.

Instant, accurate quotes

The widget prices the run instead of leaving the customer waiting. You set your rate rules once, hourly or distance and time, with minimums and surcharges, and every quote applies them automatically. The fast, accurate quote usually wins the booking.

Payment at the moment of booking

Collect a deposit or full payment when the customer books, through a one-click Stripe integration on your own Stripe account, with card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Money down turns a casual booking into a committed one and cuts no-shows.

Bookings that flow into the operation

A booking is only useful if it goes somewhere. In Ride Sync, the reservation flows into scheduling, dispatch, customer notifications, and the invoice, so the booking your widget captured becomes a scheduled, completed, billed run with no re-keying. The scheduling side is covered in transportation scheduling software.

One booking system for every service

If you run more than one kind of work, you do not want a separate booking tool for each. Ride Sync books limo, taxi, shuttle, and tour work through the same widget and the same system, sharing vehicles, drivers, and billing.
