Web Development for Transport Companies
Transport bookings — transfers, vehicle hire, chauffeur services — usually involve pricing tied to a specific route, an interactive map for pickup and drop-off selection, and often multiple vehicle types or service tiers. This is a meaningfully different UI problem than a standard product catalog, and I've built this specific pattern for airport transfer and chauffeur booking platforms.
The build typically combines Shopify's Storefront API as a commerce backend with Google Maps or Leaflet for the location and route selection layer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does route-based pricing work?add
Pickup and drop-off points selected on the map feed into a distance or zone-based pricing calculation, so the customer sees an accurate price before confirming rather than a flat estimate.
Can this support multiple vehicle types?add
Yes — pricing and availability can vary by vehicle class (sedan, SUV, minibus, luxury) as part of the same booking flow.
Do you support WhatsApp for booking confirmations?add
Yes — this is a common pattern for transport bookings where customers want a direct line to confirm pickup details for a time-sensitive trip.
