Designated driver app development for chauffeur services
Run an on-demand designated driver or chauffeur business with a customer app, a driver app and a dispatch dashboard — real-time and reserved booking, live tracking and built-in safety tools.
A trusted driver at the customer's door, in minutes
Customer requests a driver
They choose the designated-driving service on the home screen, set the pickup location and destination, and see an estimated price.
The system dispatches
Nearby drivers are matched by distance and arrival time, or receive the order to grab, depending on your dispatch settings.
Driver arrives and drives home
The customer follows the driver on the map, shares the trip with a contact, and pays in the app when the trip ends.
Features that matter for designated driving
On-demand and scheduled
Real-time calls for tonight, reservations for planned events, weddings or airport runs.
Live driver tracking
Customers see the driver approach, and dispatchers see every active trip on the map.
Fare estimates and tips
A price is shown before booking. Tips can attract drivers during busy nights.
Emergency help
Customers can request help during the trip, and trips can be shared live with friends or family.
In-app payment
Card and wallet payments, coupons and invoices, with custom gateways for your market.
Ratings and reviews
Star ratings and comments after every trip help you protect service quality.
Give your drivers a simple tool
- Choose between smart dispatch and real-time order grabbing
- Set the area and time periods in which to accept orders
- Contact the customer by chat or phone from the order screen
- See distance, duration and fare as the trip progresses
Operators with a chauffeur fleet can combine this with the ride-hailing platform (business and luxury classes) in one app.
Designated driver app: common questions
What is a designated driver app?
It lets a customer who cannot or should not drive request a professional driver who comes to the customer's location and drives the customer's own car home or to its destination.
Is designated driving a separate product from taxi dispatch?
It is a module on the same Ptaxi platform. Booking, dispatch, tracking, payment and the admin dashboard are shared, while the driver and order logic is tuned for chauffeur-style trips.
Can customers book a chauffeur in advance?
Yes. Real-time calls and reservations are both supported, and customised charter or official-vehicle scenarios can be added to the special-car module.
How do customers know the driver is trustworthy?
Drivers are shown with their details before arrival, trips can be shared live with contacts, and customers can trigger emergency help from the trip screen. Driver verification and rating rules are part of the setup.
Can I price by distance, time or a flat fee?
Fare rules are configurable, so you can combine base fare, distance, waiting time and night surcharges to suit your market.
Do you provide the source code?
Yes, with the source code delivery model you control the platform and its future development.
