Chauffeur Booking is a comprehensive WordPress plugin that enables chauffeur services, taxi companies, and transportation providers to accept ride bookings directly from their website. Powered by Google Maps integration, the plugin calculates real-time distances, routes, and travel times to automatically generate accurate pricing based on your custom fare rules.
The booking system your transportation business needs
Managing transportation bookings shouldn’t require expensive third-party platforms or complex integrations. Chauffeur Booking gives you everything you need to run a professional booking operation directly from WordPress, while providing your customers with a smooth, intuitive booking experience.
With support for distance-based, hourly, and flat-rate pricing models, the plugin adapts to virtually any transportation service — from airport transfers and executive car services to tour operators and limousine companies.

Getting started takes minutes, not hours. Install the plugin, add your Google Maps API key, create your vehicles with pricing, and drop the booking shortcode onto any page. The step-by-step booking form guides customers through pickup/dropoff selection, vehicle choice, optional extras, and contact details — all while displaying real-time pricing and route previews.
