10 Things You Can Do with Chauffeur Taxi Booking System That You Won’t Find in Other Plugins

10 Things You Can Do with Chauffeur Taxi Booking System That You Won’t Find in Other Plugins

If you’re looking for a complete and flexible booking plugin for your taxi, limo, or chauffeur service, you’ve probably come across several options. But most plugins cover just the basics — a simple form, a price, and a confirmation. The Chauffeur Taxi Booking System for WordPress goes far beyond that.

Here are 10 powerful features that make it stand out from the rest:

1. Geofence-Based Location Replacement

Automatically replace addresses entered by users with predefined pickup or drop-off points — ideal for replacing broad airport names with terminal locations or standardizing neighborhoods to specific taxi stands.

Example: “John F. Kennedy Airport” → “Terminal 4, JFK, Queens, NY”

2. Add-on Support with Modular Features

Chauffeur now supports dedicated add-ons to extend core functionality — something most plugins don’t offer. Available add-ons include:

Currency Switcher – adds a currency selector to the booking form.

iCalendars – allowing synchronization with external calendars like Google, Outlook, or Apple Calendar.

Invoices – automatically generates PDF invoices, which can be downloaded or emailed to clients.

Import/Export – provides tools to migrate plugin data between installations.

Custom Notifications – allows you to customize email templates.

Mailchimp Integration – automatically adds customer emails to a selected Mailchimp list.

Google Analytics – sends booking-related events (form steps, submission, etc.) to Google Analytics.

New add-ons can be installed as needed, keeping the core plugin lean.

3. Advanced Pricing Rules Engine

Set prices based on distance, duration, vehicle type, fixed routes, time of day, days of the week, geofence areas or predefined locations, as well as passenger types (adults, children), minimum fare thresholds, and even conditional redirection to a custom URL. All this is managed through layered conditions and rule prioritization.

You can combine rules: e.g., 10% discount on weekends + flat fee for airport transfers + per-km rate beyond city limits.

4. Google Maps-Based Distance and Route Calculation

Calculate the exact distance and time using the Google Maps API. The system also supports waypoints — intermediate stops that can include custom stop durations. You can use this data in pricing logic, whether by total route time or the number of waypoints. This enables highly accurate and dynamic pricing.

You control whether the user sees map preview with route lines, or address suggestions.

5. Multi-Step, Configurable Booking Form

Unlike single-screen forms, Chauffeur’s multi-step interface guides users through a logical flow:

  1. Route
  2. Vehicle & Extras
  3. Client Info
  4. Summary & Payment
Each step is fully customizable, including form fields, tabs, labels, and agreement checkboxes.

6. Flexible Booking Widgets for Seamless Theme Integration

Chauffeur offers multiple widget types that let you embed booking forms wherever you need — in sliders or tabbed sections. You can integrate them with page builders or place them manually using shortcodes, making it easy to match the plugin to any theme layout.

For example: insert a mini form in your homepage hero slider that links to the full booking flow.

7. Built-in Multi-Currency Support with Add-on Switcher Option

The plugin natively supports multiple currencies. You can define exchange rates manually or fetch them automatically via the Fixer.io API. It also allows you to load the booking form in a specific currency using query strings or shortcode attributes — ideal for multilingual or multi-region setups.

If you need more, the Currency Switcher Add-on adds a dynamic currency selector directly inside the booking form.

8. Guest Agreement with Custom Terms

You can add a required agreement checkbox to the booking form, allowing customers to confirm they’ve accepted your terms of service before submitting a reservation. This option can include custom text, a link to external policies, or downloadable PDFs.

Example: require passengers to agree to cancellation rules or luggage policies before completing their booking.

9. Flexible Vehicle & Route Management

Create unlimited vehicles and define how many units of each type are available — perfect for companies managing fleets of the same model. You can assign a specific driver to each vehicle and even define a base location where the vehicle is stationed. The system allows you to charge for travel to the pickup location and back to base, making it ideal for out-of-zone pricing or remote pickups. You can also limit vehicle availability by day or hour and show only the vehicles relevant to the selected pickup/drop-off points.

Example: charge an extra fee for pickups outside the vehicle’s default operating zone.

10. Flexible WooCommerce Integration Modes (Optional)

You don’t need WooCommerce to accept online payments — the plugin comes with its own built-in payment system. However, if you already use WooCommerce on your site, you can enable one of two integration modes: a standard ‘Checkout mode’, which uses your store’s payment gateways, or an ‘Add to Cart mode’, which turns bookings into products that can be purchased together with other items.

Example: a customer books a limousine service and adds a concert ticket to the same WooCommerce cart before checkout.
