A decade ago, booking a taxi was one of the most strenuous tasks for everyone. I mean calling every taxi company or standing by the road waving at ongoing taxis was something that everyone used to hate. However, today booking taxi takes only a couple of seconds, all thanks to taxi booking apps like Uber.

There's no arguing the fact that UBER is one of the most successful mobile app ideas and revenue-generating business models, which has completely revolutionized the mobile app industry. Statistics suggest that Uber has an overall business revenue of 750 Crore USD. This has led many business owners to invest in developing an app like Uber.

However, it is worth noting that you can't expect to establish a strong brand name is your taxi-booking app is exactly a clone of UBER. Customers are already familiar with Uber and if you want to captivate them, your app needs to provide them with exclusive features, which are missing in Uber.

Furthermore, it's important that you hire an experienced mobile app development firm India so that your taxi-booking app has a flawless functionality. To help you along the way, we have compiled a list of features which you can integrate into your taxi-booking app and make it better than UBER.

Pin Location vs. Actual Address:
One of the major drawbacks that Uber has is the lack of accuracy in picking customer's current location. As a result, many Uber drivers end up driving to the wrong location to pick up the passenger.

You can add a feature in your app which asks the passenger to readjust and confirm the pin location if it doesn't match the current GPS location of the device. This will allow the passenger to pin the accurate location, saving time for both him as well as the driver.

Tipping Option:
There are many instances where customers don't carry cash and therefore, can't tip the driver. This is where you can surpass Uber and improve the functionality of your app. Add a dedicated tipping option, along with the bill, so that a passenger can tip the driver via any online payment mode. This feature can easily be integrated by a team of proficient mobile app developers while integrating a dedicated payment gateway.

Passenger Block:
Every passenger is not nice and there are many people who behave rudely with the drivers. Even though drivers have the option to rate such passengers, it's important that your app provides them with something more valuable. If a driver finds a passenger misbehaving in the cab, he can directly block him/her through the app itself. As a result, more drivers will sign up on your app and you're more likely to attract more passengers too.

These are a few of the features which can help you improve the functionality of your taxi-booking app and make it better than UBER.
