Taxi Kiosks for Hotels
Win every hotel in your area with branded booking displays and QR codes
Let hotel guests book a taxi from your lobby display, reception tablet, or a QR code in their room — all under your company brand. Give hotels a reason to choose you over the competition.
If you're not in that lobby, your competitor will be. Or worse — guests will open Uber.
Why Hotels Love a Taxi Booking Kiosk
Pitch these benefits to any hotel manager and watch them say yes. This is what makes you their preferred taxi partner.
Better Guest Experience
Guests tap a screen or scan a QR code instead of calling reception. No waiting on hold, no language barriers, instant fare quote. A modern, self-service hotel guest taxi booking experience they already expect.
Earn on Every Booking
Venue kickback schemes let you share a commission with the hotel. Give them a financial reason to promote your taxi service over competitors. It turns a placement into a partnership.
Zero Effort for Staff
Front desk staff don't need to make calls or take messages. The booking display handles everything — quoting, booking, and dispatch. Frees up their time for actual hospitality.
Professional and Branded
Co-brand each booking point with the hotel's logo alongside yours. It looks like a premium in-house service, not a third-party advertisement. Hotels are far more likely to display something with their name on it.
No Hardware, No Hassle
Works on any screen the hotel already has. A tablet at reception, a TV in the lobby, or printed QR codes in guest rooms. Nothing to buy, nothing to install, nothing to maintain.
The numbers speak for themselves
A single hotel generating 2 bookings a day at an average fare of £9 is £540 a month. Ten hotels across your area? That's £5,400 in monthly revenue from a channel that costs you a stack of printed QR cards.
Where to Place Your Hotel Taxi Kiosk
Show hotel managers exactly where your booking display fits. Every touchpoint is another booking opportunity.
Lobby and Reception Desk
A hotel lobby taxi display is the most visible placement with the highest footfall. Staff can point guests to it or use it themselves to book on a guest's behalf.
Guest Room QR Codes
Printed QR codes on bedside cards or in the guest information folder. Guests scan and book from bed — perfect for early morning airport transfers.
Lift Lobbies and Corridors
Small printed QR code signs near lifts catch guests on their way out. Low cost, zero maintenance, and visible to every guest every day.
Concierge Area
A dedicated screen for the concierge to offer hotel taxi booking as part of their service. Guests asking “Can you get me a taxi?” get an instant, professional answer.
Check-out Area
Catch departing guests who need a ride to the airport or station. The same approach works for B&Bs and guest houses too. A well-timed prompt at check-out converts guests who haven't arranged onward transport yet.
Hotel Website
Embed the booking widget on the hotel's own website so guests can pre-book transport before they arrive. Captures bookings even before check-in.

Earn
Every booking dispatches straight to your fleet. Track venue performance, commission owed, and booking volume from your dashboard.
Venue kickbacks: give hotels a reason to choose you
The most powerful tool for winning and retaining hotel contracts. Share revenue with the venue and they'll actively promote your service over the competition.
Flexible Commission Structures
Set a fixed amount per booking, a percentage of the fare, or a points scheme. Whatever deal works best for each hotel.
Transparent Reporting
Hotels can see their earnings, or you can report to them. Either way, the numbers are clear and auditable from your dashboard.
Configurable Per Kiosk
Different deals for different hotels. A boutique hotel might want a flat fee per booking. A large chain might prefer a percentage. You set the terms per kiosk.
Win and Retain Contracts
Revenue sharing gives hotels a financial incentive to choose you and stick with you. It turns a vendor relationship into a partnership.
How to Win Hotel Taxi Contracts
A practical playbook for signing up hotels in your area. Follow these steps and you'll have a taxi kiosk for hotels across your patch.
Speak to the General Manager
Don't pitch to front desk staff — they can't say yes. Ask for the general manager or duty manager. They're the ones who approve vendor partnerships and care about guest services revenue.
Bring a Demo and a Sample
Load the booking page on a tablet and let them tap through it. Bring a printed QR card sample so they can see what goes in guest rooms. Seeing it in action is worth more than any pitch deck.
Offer Commission, Co-Branding, Zero Cost
Lead with what the hotel gets: a commission on every booking, their logo on the display, and absolutely no cost or effort on their end. No hardware to buy, no software to install, no staff to train.
Use the Killer Line
“Your guests already ask for taxis. This saves your staff the hassle and earns you money on every ride.”
That single sentence addresses their pain (staff interruptions) and their motivation (revenue). It works because it's true.
Follow Up With Numbers
Drop off QR cards, let it run for two weeks, then come back with real booking data. Show them how many rides their guests booked and what they earned. Numbers close deals that pitches can't.
Seasonal Peaks Mean More Bookings
Hotels aren't just a steady revenue stream — they spike at the busiest and most profitable times of year.
Christmas Party Season
Function rooms full, everyone needs a ride home. December is the highest-volume month for hotel taxi bookings by far.
Wedding Season
Predictable spikes, group bookings, often rural locations with no public transport. Operators also place kiosks at dedicated event spaces and wedding venues. Guests pre-book departure rides days in advance.
Conference Season
Business hotels with event facilities generate airport and station transfers in bulk. Delegates arrive and leave on predictable schedules.
Summer Tourism
Leisure hotels where guests don't have cars. Day trips, restaurant runs, sightseeing — tourists need taxis more than any other guest type.
