A taxi booking plugin isn’t one-size-fits-all in how it’s used. An airport transfer company prices by fixed zones. A taxi firm prices by the kilometre. A limo service prices by the hour. RideCab is a single plugin that configures to all of these models. The seven guides below show exactly how RideCab is set up for each business type.
Each guide covers the pricing model, vehicle setup, booking form configuration, and operational features specific to that business type. So you can see RideCab working for your exact situation before you buy.

RideCab isn’t seven different products. It’s one plugin with a flexible configuration. The difference between an airport transfer setup and a taxi company setup isn’t the software, it’s the pricing rules, the vehicle catalogue, and the form fields you configure.
That flexibility comes from how the plugin is built. The WordPress taxi booking system separates the booking workflow from the pricing logic. It form collects trip details the same way for every business. The fare engine then applies whichever pricing model you chose, per-km, per-hour, tiered, or flat-fare geofence, to produce the price. Simple as that.
This means you’re never locked into one business model. A taxi company that decides to add airport transfer service doesn’t buy new software. It adds a geofence-priced vehicle to the existing setup. A limo service that wants to add hourly chauffeur hire adds a tiered-hourly vehicle. The plugin comparison guide covers how this flexibility compares to single-purpose competitors.
You buy RideCab once. The $79 one-time price covers every use case and every fleet size. There’s no per-business-type pricing, no per-vehicle fee, and no subscription. Configure it for your business model today and reconfigure it free if your business changes.

- You run a hotel and want to offer guest transfers, start with the hotel taxi guide.

Whatever your starting point, the underlying plugin is the same. For the complete feature overview that applies to every use case, see the main taxi booking plugin for WordPress guide. To get started immediately, the RideCab homepage has the live demo and the documentation.
Frequently asked questions
Which RideCab use case fits my business?
If you pre-book rides to and from an airport, see the airport transfer guide. If you run a traditional metered-style operation, see the taxi company guide. Limo, VTC, private hire, hotel, and tour operator each have a dedicated guide covering the pricing model and features specific to that business type.
Is RideCab the same plugin for every use case?
Yes. RideCab is one plugin. Each use case is the same software configured differently, different pricing models, different vehicle setups, different form fields. You buy once and configure for your business type.
Does the price change depending on my business type?
No. RideCab is $79 one-time regardless of business type or fleet size. An airport transfer operator, a taxi company, and a limo service all pay the same one-time price.
Can my business use more than one pricing model?
Yes. Each vehicle in your fleet can use a different pricing model. A taxi company can run per-km pricing on standard cars and flat-fare zones on airport vehicles at the same time.
What if my business type isn’t listed here?
RideCab works for any pre-booked passenger transport business. The seven use cases cover the most common models, but shuttle services, courier transport, medical transport, and corporate fleets all work the same way. Start with the use case closest to yours.
Do I need WooCommerce for any of these use cases?
Yes. RideCab is built on WooCommerce for every use case. WooCommerce handles payment, invoicing, refunds, and customer accounts. It’s free and installs in a few minutes.
