Gurugram
Nextline Creative is a taxi booking app development company in Gurugram that builds the complete Uber or Ola-style system: a rider app, a driver app and a dispatch and admin panel that run as one platform. Riders see live cars, get a fare estimate before booking, pay in-app or by cash, and keep a trip history. Drivers get ride requests, navigation and earnings. We work from our Gurugram HQ in Delhi NCR, fix the scope in INR before we start, and app builds begin at Rs 50,000. You own the code, the backend and the store accounts at handover.
A taxi platform is three connected products, and we scope each one. The rider app covers booking, live car locations, fare estimation, in-app payment or cash, trip history and an SOS button. The driver app handles ride requests, driver matching, navigation, trip status and earnings. The dispatch and admin panel manages drivers, pricing, surge rules, payouts and reports. Before quoting, we agree which features launch first, because a single-city cab service and a multi-city aggregator with surge pricing are very different builds with very different costs.
We build both apps cross-platform in React Native or Flutter, so a single codebase serves Android and iOS. Live location streams from the driver app over a socket connection, so the rider watches the car approach on the map. Fare estimation and surge run as rules in the backend you control, not a black box, and driver matching assigns the nearest free driver. Payments go through Razorpay or Cashfree with UPI, cards and cash. We test on mid-range Android phones and weak 4G, because drivers and riders are rarely on perfect networks.
At handover you own the source code, the backend and both store listings, with no lock-in. Because our HQ is in Gurugram, we can run the kickoff and key reviews in person across Delhi NCR, then deliver remotely with weekly demos and WhatsApp access. This suits local taxi fleets, call-taxi operators going app-first, and founders launching a city cab service. We will be honest about scale: real-time dispatch for thousands of concurrent rides is a serious backend, so we size it to your actual launch rather than a hypothetical national rollout. See /pricing for the tiers.
App builds at Nextline Creative start at Rs 50,000, and a taxi platform with a rider app, a driver app and a dispatch panel sits above that, since it is three products with real-time matching. The practical way to manage cost is a single-city launch first, then add cities and surge once rides are real. We fix the scope and quote in INR before any work. See /pricing for the tiers.
Surge is a set of rules in your backend that raise fares when demand outpaces available drivers in an area and time window. You decide the multipliers and caps, not us, so you stay in control and compliant with local norms. The rider always sees the estimated fare, including any surge, before confirming the trip, which keeps it transparent and reduces cancellations and disputes.
Yes. We integrate UPI and card payments through Razorpay or Cashfree, and we keep cash as an option because many Indian riders still pay the driver directly. The driver app records the fare and payment method, and the admin panel reconciles cash trips against driver payouts. Payments settle to your own merchant account, so you handle refunds and commissions directly rather than through us.
Yes. We can build an in-trip SOS button that shares the rider's live location and trip details with chosen contacts or your control room, plus trip history both sides can refer to. Safety features depend on device permissions and the contacts a rider sets up, so we make the setup clear in the app. We will be straight about what is practical for your launch rather than promising more than the phone can reliably do.
Yes, and we usually recommend it. As a taxi booking app development company, we would rather you launch in a single city, keep the first build affordable, and prove riders and drivers both show up before investing in multi-city dispatch and surge. Because you own the code and backend, expansion is a scoped phase two on the same platform, not a rebuild. Contact us and we can map a staged plan from first city to wider rollout.
