Quotes.
Quotes are available from version 4.5 .
Why use quotes? (ChatGPT explains)
Quotes help taxi drivers provide clear and professional fare estimates to their customers before the trip begins. They build trust by setting expectations upfront, allowing customers to understand the total cost, including any extras. This transparency can lead to higher customer satisfaction, reduce fare disputes, and streamline trip preparation. Additionally, saved quotes can speed up repeat bookings and make it easier to manage frequent routes or corporate clients.
Create and reuse
From version 4.5, this is no longer a trip but a “Quote” that is created first in the Fare Calculator . You go through the same steps—pick addresses, choose the route—and then create a Quote to add extras, notes, and adjust the total if needed:
Options under the routes list now include a “Navigate to start address” button to open your navigation app, which can be handy!
As you add extras and notes, and adjust the total, the quote is automatically saved. Once finalized, you can start a taxi trip from it, or start a taxi trip along with simultaneous navigation in your navigation app. Alternatively, you can save this quote as a taxi trip, without the need to drive:
Once the quote is saved, you can return to it via the top History button in the Fare Calculator or through MENU > QUOTES:
In each quote row, tap on the top-left name button to rename the quote. Or tap on the bottom-right Re-use button for more options:
Hopefully, it’s all clear!
Notes for the “Open” options:
- Opening the quote in the Fare Calculator pre-fills the start/end address, and start time (the current time is used if the quote’s start time is in the past), and applies the selected fare. When you open a quote like this, the app will offer to apply extras and/or notes from the original quote to the new one.
Notes for the “Start” options:
- When you start a taxi trip based on a quote, the extras and notes from the quote will be automatically applied to the trip.
Fine-tune the quote document
The app also adds extra options in Settings > Advanced to configure quote-specific fields:
The Advanced Settings screen has been split into multiple sections from version 4.5 to group options that are specific to the trip’s receipt, common to both receipts and quotes, and specific to quotes.
Other than that, the quote document is similar to a trip receipt, available in both simple and detailed variants. Here is a sample of the simple version:
