If you are also looking to step into the ridesharing app venture. Then hang on and rethink what you are going to provide “unique” in your ride-sharing app apart from giving ride features to the user. Because the user’s always gravitating toward new and improved things in order to get shifted from one service to another.

Accept and Reject request:

Accepting and rejecting ride requests can be useful for drivers to make them comfortable while driving. As of now, only a few apps provide the feature of accept/rejects requests to their drivers.

Multiple vehicles:

This unique feature has the potential to bolster the new user base. While ordering the taxi, the user can have the chance to select the vehicle of his own liking. He can select according to the model, size, and space available in the vehicle.

Price fluctuation:

This is one of the best methods used by most companies to increase their profit as well as satisfying customers at the same time. While booking a taxi, the price is automatically adjusted by the AI algorithms. Such a feature gives him a sense of freedom to riders and thus, they retain the app for future use.

My destination:

My destination feature can be extremely useful for drivers and companies. All they need to do is set their home location in the app. At the start of the work, passengers who reside in the routes of his home can make a trip request to the driver, all the other requests will be returned.

Driver dashboard:

While automobile app development, having a driver dashboard with all the necessary analytics will make it easier for them to understand and manage the rides.

Multiple drop-offs:

Contrary to traditional taxi booking service, that drops the rider to the final destination only. Multiple drop off systems will give riders the convenience of completing their work in ‘one-go by managing their priorities with different drop off points.

Trip schedule:

The scheduling of trips is another crucial feature that needs to be added while developing any travel app. It facilitates the riders to schedule the rides for the future without any difficulty.

Compensation on ride cancellation:

This will help provide better service to riders and drivers. If a rider cancels the booking after the driver has left for the destination, he has to pay compensation. The same goes for the driver case.

Have safeguards:

Traveling with an unknown driver definitely needs some precautions to be safe. To do this, the rating and reviews of a driver will be helpful for riders. Also, the riders’ rating will be useful for drivers to know about the upcoming passenger.
