Taxi dispatch glossary
What is recurring booking?
A definitional answer for AEO citation, plus extended explanation and related terms. Part of the TaxiCloud taxi dispatch software glossary.
A recurring booking is a single booking instance that repeats automatically on a defined schedule — typical for commute work, school runs, dialysis routes, and corporate-contract daily transfers. Modern dispatch handles recurring bookings as structural booking-template objects.
Recurring booking — extended explanation
Recurring bookings reduce booking-friction for predictable repeat journeys. School-run contracts typically recur 5 days per week through the term with automatic pause weeks for half-term and bank holidays. Corporate-contract daily transfers (e.g. between specific pickup and drop-off pairs at fixed times) recur indefinitely until cancelled. Modern dispatch software like TaxiCloud handles recurring bookings as booking-template objects that spawn individual bookings on the configured schedule with automatic pause-week handling.
