One Platform, Three Apps — Driver, Rider, Admin
Every taxi platform Mtoag builds ships as three integrated applications working from a single backend.
Custom AI-Integrated Development
For operators who want dispatch intelligence a rebranded template can't offer — built into the platform, not bolted on.
AI-Powered Demand Prediction
Forecast peak demand by zone and time so drivers are positioned before requests spike, not after.
Intelligent Driver-Rider Matching
Match on ETA, driver rating, and route efficiency together — not just "nearest driver" logic.
Dynamic Surge Optimisation
AI-tuned surge multipliers balance rider conversion against driver supply in real time, zone by zone.
Fraud & Anomaly Detection
Flag suspicious ride patterns, fake GPS spoofing, and payment fraud before they cost you money.
Built on the same AI development practice behind Mtoag's AI-powered demand prediction work across other on-demand platforms.

Taxi App Development — Questions Answered
10 direct answers. No sales language.
Taxi app development in the UK typically costs £20,000–£80,000+ depending on scope. White-label solutions start around £20,000, a custom MVP with driver, rider, and admin apps ranges £25,000–£45,000, and full custom builds with advanced features (AI dispatch, multi-city support) range £50,000–£80,000+. Mtoag provides a fixed quote after a free scoping call.
A white-label taxi app uses pre-built, rebrandable software launched in 4–6 weeks at lower cost, ideal for single-city operators. A custom build is engineered from scratch around your specific business rules, pricing logic, and integrations, taking 10–16 weeks but offering full ownership and no platform dependency long-term.
A white-label taxi app launches in 4–6 weeks. A custom MVP with driver, rider, and admin apps takes 10–14 weeks. Enterprise builds with advanced dispatch algorithms and multi-city architecture take 16–24 weeks. Mtoag provides a fixed timeline in the Technical Specification before development starts.
A minimum viable taxi app needs three components: a rider app (booking, live tracking, payment), a driver app (accept/reject rides, navigation, earnings), and an admin dashboard (driver management, fare configuration, analytics). Real-time GPS tracking and in-app payments are considered baseline requirements, not optional extras.
Yes. Mtoag integrates Stripe, Braintree, and PayPal for card payments, plus Apple Pay and Google Pay for mobile wallets. All payment integrations are PCI DSS compliant, with card data tokenised and never stored directly on Mtoag or client servers.
Yes. Every Mtoag taxi app uses Google Maps Platform or Mapbox for real-time GPS tracking, live route optimisation, and accurate ETA calculation. Riders track their driver's location live from booking confirmation through to pick-up and drop-off.
Yes. Mtoag builds driver onboarding flows that support UK private hire vehicle (PHV) licensing requirements, including document upload, DBS check integration points, and vehicle insurance verification — configurable to match your local licensing authority's specific requirements.
Every taxi app launch includes 30 days of Core Web Vitals and crash monitoring at no extra cost. Ongoing support plans cover server monitoring, security patches, app store update management, and feature development on a monthly retainer or ad-hoc basis.
Yes. Mtoag’s taxi app architecture supports multi-city expansion from day one — new regions can be added through the admin dashboard without a full redevelopment cycle, provided the initial build was scoped for multi-region support.
Yes. Mtoag builds Uber-style ride-hailing apps with equivalent core functionality — real-time matching, dynamic pricing, in-app payments, and driver ratings — customised to your business model rather than delivered as an unmodified template.
