Taxi & Cab dispatch & answering

Taxi & Cab dispatch, answered around the clock.

A 24/7 taxi dispatch service and answering desk for cab, minicab and private-hire fleets. Trained agents answer in your company name within three rings, book the fare, and dispatch the driver inside iCabbi, TaxiCaller, Autocab or Cordic — covering the overnight, weekend and overflow hours an in-house desk can’t.

On the ground

Real taxi & cab operations, answered live.

Every call for your taxi & cab fleet is answered by a trained agent and dispatched inside your own software — not a script reader, not a bot transfer.

TransportBPO runs a taxi dispatch call center that operates as your own office — just one that never closes. When a rider calls, a trained agent answers in your company name, typically within three rings, takes the booking, and dispatches the nearest driver inside your own software. Nothing about the call sounds outsourced, because functionally it isn’t: your rates, your zones, your account customers, your dispatch system. Whether you run three cars or three hundred, the desk scales as a full taxi answering service — bookings, dispatch, driver coordination, complaints and lost property — so the phone is never the reason a fare goes to the fleet across town.

The case to outsource taxi dispatch is arithmetic. One in-house dispatcher covers one shift; covering nights, weekends and holidays takes four or five salaries plus the churn that comes with 3am seats. Taxi dispatch outsourcing replaces that overhead with an always-staffed desk that typically costs 50–70% less than the equivalent in-house payroll, per TransportBPO’s internal analysis across its dispatch accounts. Outsourcing taxi calls also removes the single point of failure: when your overnight dispatcher quits, gets sick or no-shows, the desk doesn’t go dark, because it was never one person to begin with. You pay a flat monthly rate in your local currency — we serve fleets across the US, UK, Canada and Australia — with no setup fees and month-to-month terms.

What fleets typically save versus staffing an equivalent in-house dispatch desk around the clock — TransportBPO’s internal company data across its transport dispatch accounts.

Coverage is built around how your calls actually arrive. Some fleets hand us the phones entirely and run on 24/7 taxi dispatch. Others keep their daytime office and use the desk as an after-hours taxi answering service, an overnight taxi dispatch shift, or pure overflow — we catch what your team can’t reach during the school run, the bar close or the Friday airport push. A cab dispatch service only earns its keep if it answers at the speed a rider expects; ours is staffed so hold time never becomes the reason someone opens a rideshare app instead. Every fleet gets answer-time reporting, so you can see exactly what the desk caught that voicemail used to lose.

The same desk carries the work around the fare. As a taxi reservation call center we take pre-books, schedule account rides, and run airport pickups with flight-aware timing where your system supports it. Taxi booking service outsourcing covers the confirmations, driver-arrival calls and no-show follow-ups that keep pre-booked work reliable. And taxi customer service outsourcing handles the rest of the phone: complaints worked to your retention script, lost-property calls, account and invoice queries, quote requests. For smaller operations the desk simply behaves as a cab company answering service — a receptionist-grade front line that books what it can and messages what it can’t, without a rider ever hearing voicemail.

Getting started costs nothing to test. The first week is free — no card, no setup fees — and agents train on your account before the first call: your zones, your rates, your regulars, your software. We offer one-client-per-city exclusivity where available, so we’re not booking fares for you and your closest competitor from the same desk. And because our remote taxi dispatchers work inside iCabbi, TaxiCaller, Autocab, Cordic or your in-house system, there is no migration and no data-hostage problem: if you ever leave, every booking, customer and trip record is already sitting in your own platform. Month-to-month after the trial, scale up or down as the seasons change.

What is a taxi dispatch call center?

A taxi dispatch call center is a staffed operation that answers a fleet’s booking lines and dispatches drivers inside the fleet’s own software. TransportBPO’s agents answer in your company name, typically within three rings, book the fare, and assign the nearest car in iCabbi, TaxiCaller, Autocab or Cordic — 24/7/365.

How does taxi dispatch outsourcing work?

You forward your lines — after hours, at peak, or entirely — and trained agents take over inside your existing dispatch system. Nothing migrates: your zones, rates and booking data stay in your platform. Fleets pay a flat monthly rate in local currency, month-to-month, with no setup fees and the first week free.

Because agents work under your own account logins, you can watch every booking land in real time — and if you ever bring dispatch back in-house, every customer and trip record is already sitting in your own system.

What does an airport transfer booking service handle?

Pre-booked airport pickups end to end: capturing flight numbers at booking, watching arrivals where your platform supports it, adjusting pickups when a plane lands early or late, and making driver-arrival and confirmation calls. For taxi fleets, airport work is the highest-value pre-booked volume — reliability on it is what keeps corporate accounts renewing.

What the desk covers

Built around how taxi & cab work actually comes in.

Calls answered in your company name

Every call is answered live by an agent trained on your operation — typically within three rings, always in your company name. As a taxi call answering service the desk takes the booking, quotes the fare from your rate card, and handles the awkward calls too: complaints, lost property, account queries. Riders hear your company, not a call center. For small fleets it doubles as a cab company answering service that replaces voicemail entirely.

24/7 taxi dispatch inside your software

Our dispatchers work directly inside iCabbi, TaxiCaller, Autocab, Cordic or whatever you already run — assigning jobs, tracking drivers and updating bookings in your live system. No middleware, no migration, no parallel database to reconcile in the morning. That is what makes a remote taxi dispatcher genuinely interchangeable with an in-house one: same screens, same zones, same rules, enforced around the clock. Your data never leaves your platform, and you can watch the desk work in real time.

After-hours, overnight and weekend cover

Most fleets start here. Keep your daytime office and forward the lines at 6pm — the desk runs as an after-hours taxi answering service through bar close, then straight overnight taxi dispatch until your team is back on. Weekends and holidays included. Riders get the same answer speed at 3am as at 3pm, drivers stop fielding their own bookings mid-shift, and you stop paying a full overnight salary to cover a half-busy shift.

Overflow and peak-time call handling

Friday nights, event let-outs, flight banks and rain all spike calls past what any fixed desk can catch. With taxi overflow call handling, your lines roll to us only when your team is maxed — after three rings, after twenty seconds, whatever rule you set. We answer the surge in your name, book it in your system, and hand the phones straight back when the peak passes. You capture the busiest, most profitable hour of the week instead of feeding it to competitors.

Bookings, pre-books and airport transfers

The desk runs as a full taxi reservation call center: pre-booked fares, account and corporate rides, school runs and repeat schedules, all entered in your system with confirmations and driver-arrival calls handled. Our airport transfer booking service coordinates pickups against flight times where your platform supports it, so an early landing doesn’t strand a customer. If you are weighing taxi booking service outsourcing, this is the piece that usually pays for the desk on its own — pre-booked work survives on reliability.

Bilingual agents and receptionist-grade service

Answer in the language your riders book in. We run a bilingual taxi call center with English/Spanish coverage across the US and Canada, English/French for Quebec, and multilingual options for UK markets. For operators who want a softer front line than a dispatch desk, the same agents work as a taxi company virtual receptionist — greeting, booking, routing and message-taking in a polished voice, so a one-office cab firm sounds like an operation ten times its size.

The problem we solve

  • Night and weekend fare calls hitting voicemail while a competitor picks up
  • One resignation away from an uncovered overnight desk
  • Drivers taking their own bookings at 2am instead of driving
  • Peak-time surges — bar close, flight banks, rain — you can’t answer fast enough
  • Pre-booked and airport work lost because nobody confirmed the pickup

We work to your local taxi licensing and dispatch rules, trained on your account so every fare is booked, priced and routed the way your city and your operation require.

How it works

From first call to covered taxi & cab phones.

01

Walk us through your operation

A 30-minute call covers your zones, rates, fleet size, account customers, peak patterns and the software you dispatch from. We map your call types — bookings, pre-books, driver calls, complaints — and agree exactly what the desk should handle versus escalate to you.

02

We train inside your system

Your agents learn your account before taking a single call: logins to your dispatch platform, your rate card, your greeting, your escalation rules. Agents work under NDA in your own iCabbi, TaxiCaller, Autocab or Cordic environment, so day one runs like week fifty.

03

Forward the lines and go live

Start with nights and weekends or hand over the phones entirely — call forwarding takes minutes, and you can change the split any time. The first week is free, terms run month-to-month after, and every call, booking and answer time lands in your own system.

Straight answers

Questions taxi & cab operators ask.

US dedicated-dispatcher plans start around $1,700 a month — an effective $10.60 per hour — while pay-as-you-go taxi call center pricing per hour runs about $14 in the US, with UK, Canada and Australia priced in local currency. Per TransportBPO’s internal analysis, that puts taxi dispatch cost typically 50–70% below in-house payroll. No setup fees; first week free.
Yes — that is the model. Our agents log into your existing iCabbi, TaxiCaller, Autocab or Cordic account and dispatch inside it, so there is no migration and your booking data stays in your system. If you run an in-house or niche platform, we train on that instead.
Yes. Many fleets keep their daytime office and forward lines to us for evenings, overnights, weekends and holidays. The desk runs overnight taxi dispatch exactly as your day team would — same software, same rates, same greeting — and you can expand to full 24/7 cover whenever it proves out.
Everything an in-house dispatcher does, from a staffed desk instead of your office: answer calls in your company name, book fares, assign and track drivers in your dispatch platform, and handle rider questions. A virtual taxi dispatcher for hire through TransportBPO can cover a single shift or the full clock.
Yes. In the UK the same desk runs as a private hire answering service and handles minicab call answering under your operator licence — including TfL private-hire requirements for London operators. Agents book inside UK platforms like Autocab and Cordic, and plans are priced in pounds.
Yes. Bilingual English/Spanish agents cover the US and Canada, English/French agents cover Quebec, and multilingual options are available for UK markets. The whole call happens in the rider’s language — booking, dispatch and any follow-up, not just the greeting — so mixed-language cities stop leaking fares at hello.
Yes. Taxi overflow call handling forwards calls to us only when your own team can’t answer — after a set number of rings or seconds, or when all your lines are busy. You keep the phones the rest of the time, on pay-as-you-go hourly pricing rather than a full-time seat.
Compare on five things: whether agents work inside your dispatch software, true 24/7 staffing, per-city exclusivity, contract terms, and a real trial. We publish honest side-by-side comparisons with other providers — including where a rival may fit better — and back ours with a free first week and month-to-month terms.
