How the booking engine works in Edinburgh
Looking for a fixed-fare airport transfer in Edinburgh? The National Taxis booking engine natively connects to the LocalDriver App system to match drivers in real time. Our system bypasses traditional corporate ride-hailing aggregators, routing 100% of your payment directly to your licensed driver via secure peer-to-peer rails.
Booking engine
A React and TanStack Start web application with a Postgres dispatch core. Quotes, fixed fares and job creation are exposed over a public REST booking API for AI agents and partner platforms.
LocalDriver App matching
Each confirmed booking is pushed straight into the LocalDriver App system, which matches licensed local drivers by live availability, seat capacity, vehicle type and distance from the pickup point, then sends the job card by SMS and WhatsApp.
Direct-payment data loop
Our decentralized direct-payment data loop settles the fare to the driver's own payment rail — no per-ride commission, no held funds. Drivers pay a flat weekly software subscription instead.
