What's Included

Three apps, one platform, all yours.

Every taxi app needs three parts working together: a smooth experience for riders, a productive workflow for drivers, and full operational control for the operator. We build all three from the ground up.

👤

Passenger App

The customer-facing app where riders book, track, pay, and rate. Designed for speed — most bookings complete in under 30 seconds.

  • One-tap "Book Now" with location auto-detect
  • Fare estimate before booking
  • Live driver tracking on map
  • UPI, card, wallet, cash payment
  • Schedule rides up to 7 days ahead
  • Ride history, invoices, ratings
  • SOS button + share trip with family
  • Multiple saved addresses (Home, Work, etc.)
🚗

Driver App

Driver-side app for accepting jobs, navigating, and tracking earnings. Built for Tier-2/3 cities — works on low-end Android with patchy network.

  • Accept / reject incoming rides
  • Google Maps / MapMyIndia navigation
  • Daily / weekly earnings dashboard
  • Document upload (RC, DL, Aadhaar)
  • Online / offline duty toggle
  • Heat map of high-demand areas

📊

Admin Panel

Web dashboard for operators — manage drivers, customers, fares, payouts, disputes, and analytics. Built for non-technical staff.

  • Driver onboarding + KYC approvals
  • Fare config per city / vehicle type
  • Geofencing for service areas
  • Live trip map for all active rides
  • Coupon codes, promos, referrals
  • Driver payout management

Why Appzur

Not a script-flipping agency.

Most "Uber clone" vendors sell you the same recycled codebase with a logo swap. We build from scratch using your actual business rules — fare structure, city operations, regulations.

Full source code, day one

You own everything. Self-host, modify, migrate vendors. No licensing, no vendor lock-in, no surprise charges.

Built for Indian operations

UPI-first payment, Hindi + regional language UI, OTP rides, low-bandwidth optimisation, Tier-2/3 city Android support.

Fixed 30-day delivery

Detailed Gantt at kickoff. Weekly demo builds. If we miss a milestone, you get written explanation + adjustment — no excuses.

Real post-launch support

30 days of bug fixes included. Maintenance retainers afterwards — same team, same Slack channel, same response SLA.

Honest cost transparency

We tell you upfront which third-party services will cost what at scale — Maps, SMS, hosting — so there are no nasty surprises 3 months in.

Same engineers, end to end

Not "junior offshore team after sales call." The engineers on your kickoff call are the engineers who code, test, and deliver.

Frequently Asked

Questions you should be asking.

If something isn't covered here, message us on WhatsApp — most clients ask 2 or 3 more before booking a kickoff call.

How much does it cost to build a taxi app like Uber in India?
A basic Uber clone with Android passenger app, driver app, and admin panel starts at ₹25,000. A full production app with Android + iOS, advanced admin, UPI + card payments, live tracking, and WhatsApp integration is typically ₹45,000–₹1,50,000 depending on customisation. Enterprise white-label solutions for fleet operators run higher.
How long does taxi app development take?
A standard Uber clone is delivered in 30 days. iOS adds about 10 days. Custom features (multi-city dispatch, scheduled rides, ride-sharing, surge pricing) extend the timeline by 2–6 weeks. We share a detailed Gantt at kickoff so you know exactly when each milestone lands.
Will I own the source code?
Yes. Once final payment is made, full source code is handed over — passenger app, driver app, admin panel, backend, database schema. You can self-host, modify, or migrate to another vendor at any time. No licensing fees, no monthly platform charges, no vendor lock-in.
Do you provide post-launch support?
All plans include 30 days of post-launch bug-fix support free. Beyond that, we offer monthly maintenance retainers (₹15,000–₹50,000/mo depending on scope) covering bug fixes, OS-version updates, feature additions, server monitoring, and 24/7 emergency response.
Which Indian payment options are integrated?
UPI via Razorpay or PayU (GPay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM), credit/debit cards, net banking, in-app wallet, and cash. UPI deep-links work even on low-end phones. International payments via Stripe are available for cross-border operations.
Can it handle ride-sharing, scheduled rides, or multi-city?
Yes — these are common add-ons. Ride-sharing (pool), scheduled/recurring rides, multi-city dispatch with separate fare bands, women-only driver mode, corporate billing accounts, and outstation booking flows are all available. Each is a 2–4 week add-on depending on complexity.
How do you handle Google Maps API costs?
For the first 6 months we use Google Maps with the free tier ($200/month credit) which covers up to about 28,000 rides. Once you exceed that, we migrate the maps layer to MapMyIndia (much cheaper for Indian operators) or self-hosted OpenStreetMap. We architect the maps layer to be swappable from day one.
Do you build for fleet operators / B2B taxi services?
Yes. B2B fleet operators get additional features: corporate billing accounts, employee whitelist management, ride policy enforcement, per-department reporting, monthly GST invoicing, and SSO integration. These extend the timeline by 2–3 weeks.
What about driver onboarding, verification, and compliance?
Driver onboarding flow includes document upload (RC, DL, Aadhaar, PAN), Aadhaar e-KYC integration, vehicle photos, bank account capture for payouts, and background-check checklist. RTO compliance, commercial permit verification, and FASTag-linked payouts are available as add-ons.
What happens if my app starts getting popular and I need to scale?
The architecture is designed for it from day one. Postgres can handle millions of rides; the WebSocket layer scales horizontally; AWS / GCP auto-scaling kicks in as load grows. The maps layer is the only piece that needs attention at scale — we'll handle that migration when you cross 25,000 rides/month.
