How to Get More Direct Bookings for Your Chauffeur Business
5 min read
Every booking that comes through a marketplace costs you commission. A direct booking channel on your own website is the highest-margin growth move a small chauffeur company can make.
The building blocks of a direct booking channel
- A web booking form on your own site — pickup, drop-off, date, time, vehicle, passengers
- Instant quotes so visitors don't leave to 'check prices elsewhere'
- Automatic confirmation emails with your branding
- A mobile-friendly booking flow — most airport transfer bookings happen on phones
Where direct bookings come from
- Repeat customers rebooking through your site instead of calling
- Google search: 'airport transfer + your city' landing on your booking page
- Hotel, concierge, and corporate partners linking to your booking form
- Business cards and vehicle decals pointing to your website
Mistakes that kill direct bookings
- Sending website visitors to a marketplace profile to complete the booking
- A booking form that requires a phone call to finish
- No pricing shown anywhere on the site
