Here’s a clear, up-to-date overview of QuickCab 1.4.6 – WooCommerce Taxi Booking Plugin, a WordPress extension that turns your WooCommerce store into a taxi/ride-hailing booking system:
🚕 What It Is
QuickCab 1.4.6 is a WooCommerce extension plugin that adds taxi/cab booking functionality to your WordPress site. It works with WooCommerce to let customers select pickup/dropoff locations, vehicle types, schedule rides, and complete bookings through checkout — all through your existing WooCommerce payment system.
Instead of selling physical products, QuickCab treats ride reservations as “products” with dynamic pricing, distance/time cost rules, and booking flows. It’s useful for local taxi companies, private hire fleets, airport shuttles, and ride services that want to accept online bookings via WordPress.
✔️ Core Features

-
Dynamic fare calculation based on distance, time, vehicle type, extra services.
-
Scheduling: Choose immediate or future ride times.
-
Real-time fare estimates before checkout.
🧮 WooCommerce Integration
-
Every ride booking functions like a product in WooCommerce — customers add it to cart and checkout.
-
Uses WooCommerce’s payment gateways (PayPal, Stripe, offline, etc.).
-
Orders are stored and managed through the standard WooCommerce orders dashboard.
🚙 Vehicle & Service Setup

⚙️ Pricing Logic & Features
QuickCab typically supports many pricing components:
-
Base fare (fixed per trip).
-
Distance cost (per km/mile).
-
Time cost (e.g., waiting charges).
-
Vehicle type multipliers (premium vs standard).
-
Extra services (child seat, meeting service, luggage help).
-
Minimum fare rules.
This makes it versatile for taxi pricing models and service tiers.
