Looking for a Modern Ride-Hailing Platform?

If you are evaluating an Uber-, Ola-, Bolt- or Careem-style operating model, with an on-demand passenger app, driver app and central dispatch, RuteAppz provides its own configurable Taxi Platform. It is a RuteAppz product with its own design, not affiliated with or endorsed by any of those brands. Some buyers search for a "taxi app clone" or "Uber clone"; we focus instead on a supported platform you can brand, customize and integrate, rather than a downloadable clone script.

  • βœ“Configurable fares, zones and service types
