Online Taxi Booking Benefits

Taxi apps are on the rise as one of the most convenient ways to book a taxi. Here at Place 2 Place, we’re following suit with our smartphone app and online booking system. We offer a reliable taxi service throughout the mid-Kent area for business and pleasure purposes alike.

It’s our mission to provide you with fast taxis, whether you’re running errands, going on a daytrip, or need an airport transfer. Though you’re welcome to give us a call regarding bookings, online and mobile app booking offers an array of benefits that can’t be matched. From convenience to security, online booking is the most seamless way of ordering a taxi.

Immediate Booking

One of the greatest benefits of online taxi booking is how quickly a car can be at your door. When using the app, a nearby driver will be directly notified of your request and be given the option of accepting or rejecting your booking. Whereas, when ordering via the phone, you’ll be put in contact with the rank, who will have to reach out to a driver for you. Booking online cuts out the middleman, allowing for a smoother and faster ordering process. This is perfect for when you’re in a rush or in those instances when you don’t want to be waiting around for extended periods of time.

You won’t always know when you’re in need of transportation, so it’s good to have this option on hand. This provides you with a sense of security whenever you’re out and about.

Single Payment

In this day and age, it’s quite rare that people carry cash, making it difficult to pay for taxis. However, when booking a taxi online, you’ll be presented with a handful of ways you can pay for your journey. Whether you opt for Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, or simply your credit/debit card, most online booking platforms will accommodate you.

This also ensures that you pay a fixed rate that isn’t affected by traffic, road closures, or other complications. At Place 2 Place, you’ll always pay what was initially quoted to you, but other firms may adjust the price at the end of your journey.

With this being said, all our cars are equipped with a debit/credit card machine for those who don’t book via the app. We find that a cashless service ensures the greatest safety as far as COVID-19 transmission is concerned.

Convenient Tracking

When ordering a taxi on the phone, your driver could be anywhere, meaning you have no way of determining how long it will take. As a result, you’ll find yourself waiting around, peering out the window, or even standing in the cold or rain. Ordering via the app means you can GPS track your driver, providing you with an accurate estimation of when they’ll arrive. On top of this, you’ll be given a better idea of how long your journey will take once you’re in the car since the car will still be GPS tracked.

One of the greatest benefits to booking a taxi online is the sheer convenience that simply can’t be matched by any other booking method. You can be confident about your whereabouts with the Place 2 Place app.

Heightened Security

Travelling alone can be a nerve-wracking experience which is why security is at the forefront of booking a taxi online. As previously mentioned, you’re able to GPS track the car, and this information can also be shared with someone that you trust. On top of this, you’ll be provided with the driver’s information, such as their name, registration plate, and customer rating. This will give you peace of mind as everything you need to know about the driver is transparently presented to you. Similarly, the GPS tracking means that you know exactly where you are and where you’re heading.

Here at Place 2 Place, safety and security are our main priorities; we want our customers to feel comfortable whilst using our services. We’re very conscious about providing passengers with every measure they need to feel secure.
