  address the customers needs with an attractive
  user interface. Also, you can come up with
  updated versions that enhance the reputation

  and reviews. Just like any other apps, your taxi
  app also needs a feedback. The customers ratings
  and reviews can help you improve your services
  further, and as a result, your business can stay
  ahead of the curve. The traditional rental car
  booking companies cannot offer such a facility
  because they have no apps. But, these days,
  people prefer the services that seek feedback and
  reviews from customers.

  his route to finishing the trip. In a way, you
  can check the efficiency of your driver through
  an app. The app users also give feedback about

  motivates drivers to work with more efficiency

• Features You Need to Include in Your Taxi
  Application
• Features and duration of development decide the
  cost of your bespoke taxi app. Here we see the
  basic features you need to include in the app
  that can help you get the estimate.
• The Uber clone app development process or taxi
  app like Uber and Ola includes the making of two
  mobile apps App for passengers and app for
  drivers.
• 1 App for Passengers- A basic taxi app includes
  three features for passengers order, payment
  methods, and offers or gift vouchers.

• Additional features Fare calculator, preset
  locations, ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival),
  real-time status, fare split, modification of
  ongoing ride, booking for someone else, etc.
• 2 App for Drivers- The drivers app should have
  features like accept and cancel the ride, trip
  request, and reasons for cancellation.
• Additional features Alerts and notifications,
  records of earnings, fuel station findings,
  customized route selection, etc.Also, you should
  consider integrating hidden features like
  conversion metrics and in-app analytics to get
  the valuable data from the app users.
• Cost of Custom Taxi Mobile App
• Apart from features and duration of development,
  a few other aspects like platform selection and
  API integration also contribute to deciding the
  price of your taxi app. For example, you need to
  pay more if you want an Android app as compared
  to an iOS app. It is because there are many
  Android devices are available and your app
  requires a vigorous testing to ensure a seamless
  performance across all the devices and versions.
• Hourly rate is also a considerable factor because
  there is a great variation in the hourly charges
  across the world. On one hand, Indian mobile app
  developers charge between 25 to 50/hour, their
  American and Canadian counterparts take over 170
  an hour. Australian and European app developers
  can charge anywhere between 150 to 190 an hour.

• On an average, you can get a basic driver app in
  a range of 6000 to 9000 for either Android or
  iOS platform. Similarly, the basic passenger app
  will cost you between 12000 to 15000. A highly
  complex and feature-rich taxi apps like Uber and
  Ola can cost you over 45000. However, this is
  just an estimate. The price can vary as per your
  business needs. A taxi app development company
  can give you an exact quote depending on the
  project requirements. You can also hire taxi app
  developers to leverage the benefits of flexible
  hiring models.
• Finally comes the miscellaneous expenses. Any
  post-release expenses like ASO, app marketing,
  and maintenance costs fall under this category.
  You need to keep provision for such expenses
  because growing competition in this sector
  requires a seamlessly performing app. Initial
  promotional efforts can help you get valuable
  downloads as your app gets launched.
• Wrapping Up

  perfect blend of technological advancements and a
