How to Connect Your Taxi Business with Booking.com
Getting started involves three key steps.
Step 1: Connect Your Business with INSOFTDEV SmartCar
Start by setting up your taxi or airport transfer operations on the SmartCar cloud booking and dispatch platform.
SmartCar provides the tools needed to manage:
Customer and partner bookings
Drivers and vehicles
Pricing and service areas
Advance airport transfer reservations
Driver assignments and trip progress
Customer communications
Payments, invoicing and reporting
Your business can use SmartCar for its everyday dispatch operations, including bookings received through your own website, telephone operators, customer applications and business accounts.
Step 2: Configure Your Booking.com Connectivity
Once your dispatch operation is configured, the INSOFTDEV team can discuss the Booking.com integration requirements relevant to your business.
SmartCar has existing experience with Booking.com transportation connectivity, including pricing and booking workflows.
Depending on your eligibility and the applicable Booking.com partner arrangements, the integration process may involve:
Reviewing your operating locations and service coverage
Configuring vehicle categories and pricing
Confirming the required integration capabilities
Testing quotation and booking workflows
Validating operational booking management
Important: Booking.com connectivity is subject to the relevant partner programme, commercial approval and technical requirements. Using SmartCar does not automatically guarantee acceptance as a Booking.com transport supplier.
Step 3: Receive and Dispatch Your Bookings
Once the required connectivity has been approved, configured and activated, supported Booking.com reservations can be managed through your SmartCar dispatch operations.
Your dispatch team can:
View incoming transfer bookings
Manage scheduled pickups
Assign appropriate drivers and vehicles
Monitor journey progress
Coordinate airport transfer operations
Manage bookings from other sales channels in the same system
Instead of switching between disconnected booking tools, your team works from a centralized operational platform.
