Uber clone script with some groundbreaking features is still a luxury, not because of the cost but because of the nonavailability in the market. To save money and to launch the business quickly, many entrepreneurs prefer to go for basic taxi app development and soon become the victim of the low customer acquisition rate.

Since a few entrepreneurs are being more partial to basic taxi apps, taxi app development companies are also not wasting resources and time to develop unique Uber clone script which offers ultimate convenience and user experience to both riders and drivers.

However, Coruscate has already been committed to bringing innovation in the taxi app. Thus, we have figured out and implemented a few rare features which are already there in the native Uber app, but no one is talking about it. Most importantly, we are offering all those rare features along with common features in the Uber clone app at the one time cost of $10000 or less.

Check a quick demo of our Uber clone taxi app:

Features we provide with our Uber Clone script:

The following are those 4 rare features of Uber native app which we have added in our Uber clone script.

Uber Beacon

 
What it is? & Why it’s important?

Uber Beacon lets a rider identify his driver in the crowded space. Here is how: From the app itself, while booking the ride, riders can select any color from the available 24-bit RGB colors. This selected color is now transmitted to his matched driver’s app and via Bluetooth of the driver phone, the command is transmitted to an Uber’s ‘Beacon’ device and it glows in a color chosen by the rider. Since the beacon device is installed on the windscreen of the car, a rider can easily see it and easily identify his driver.

» Usability

Both for drivers and riders, the pick-up has always been difficult, especially when the pick-up spot is somewhere near crowded places like markets, stadiums and event locations. Not only physical factors but sometimes technical factors are also affecting the actualizing of painless pick-up. And this misshape often results in poor user experience.

With the Uber Beacon feature which looks very unique yet simple, the rider can identify the driver without making too many calls and SMSs. All a rider has to do is, choosing a color and identifying the car having the same color in its Uber Beacon device.

How does Coruscate bring it to life?

 
To actualize the Uber Beacon like feature into Uber clone script, we have reengineered the driver app because the driver app is more responsible for it than the rider app. We have written a dedicated code that handles the Bluetooth connectivity and communication between the driver app and a rider app. We have also tested the features with Uber Beacon like hardware.

Here, it is worth mentioning that Uber Beacon like hardware which should be equipped with Bluetooth technology costs you less than $20.

Driver and rider centric ride cancellation

 
What is it?

Ride cancellation is very common, so does the after ride cancellation troubles, especially related to a cancellation fee. Thus, Uber has introduced a two-sided cancellation process to make sure neither riders nor drivers have to pay unnecessary penalties for ride cancellation. For that, they have defined two scenarios.

» If a rider cancels the ride

Uber sees ‘ride cancellation from the rider side’ in two well-defined sub-scenarios. If the rider cancels the ride within 5 minutes of ride-booking, Uber does not charge him a cancellation fee. But if a rider cancels the ride more than 5 minutes after requesting the ride and if the driver is running on the time (which is by the way assured by the algorithms), Uber charges rider a cancellation fee and the driver earns between $5 and $10, based on the types of the account he owns.

» If a driver cancels the ride

» This scenario has two sub-scenarios too.

When a driver cancels the request after accepting it, the app automatically finds another nearest driver to make sure riders get service on time. Meanwhile, the driver who has canceled the ride after accepting it is now able to see a significant rise in his cancellation rate. Uber tracks this rate and if it exceeds the certain limit (around 10%), the app sends him the warning. And if it continues to climb, Uber may deactivate the account.

» And the most complex cancellation process is here:

If a driver reaches pick-up location on-time and the rider does not show up, the Uber app allows the driver to start a 5-minute countdown. During this time, the app sends several notifications to the rider and also verifies whether a driver is actually there near the pick-up location or not. If rider does not show up in 5 minutes and the app successfully detects the driver near the pick-up location, the driver can cancel the ride. Not only this, the app takes a cancellation fee from the rider and deposits it in driver’s earning.

How does Coruscate bring it to life?

 
Needless to say, the whole cancellation process highly depends on a well-written algorithm. Our ride canceling algorithm works similar to Uber’s. It verifies the driver’s location, notifies the rider, charges a cancellation fee and updates the drivers’ cancellation rate and other relevant information.

Instant driver identity

 
What it is?

Instant driver identity is the feature in both Uber and UberEats apps which asks drivers to verify their identity by taking a selfie from the app itself. The app usually asks drivers to prove their identity after every 2 to 4 online sessions or if the app detects any unusual user activity. A driver is only allowed to be online if his selfie has some similarities with his uploaded profit photo.

» Usability

Riders have reported many fake Uber drivers who are running Uber taxi under the Uber account of their friends and relatives. The situation was so severe that a few Uber drivers were selling their Uber accounts to the people who do not have sufficient documents to be Uber partner.

Though in most of the cases, their major goal behind wearing a fake identity has always been earning more money, Uber has been considering this as a major threat to riders. So, it became an urgency for Uber to prevent such fake drivers from using the Uber driver app.

Thanks to the instant driver identity feature, Uber can now make sure that only registered drivers can provide taxi service to users. Uber has also added a feature in the rider app which enables riders to report the fake driver.

How does Coruscate bring it to life?

 
Just like the other two features, we have used a well-written algorithm for this feature too. However, the major catch here is, this time we have used a machine learning algorithm that matches the selfie of the driver with his profile picture precisely. Our machine learning algorithm learns by itself and improves its matching capabilities with new data and time.

Data-driven driver matching

 
What is it?

When a rider books the ride, Uber’s matching algorithm does not simply allocate the nearest available driver to the rider, but it examines factors like weather, traffic, one-way streets, bridges, drivers’ rating, and their cancellation rate and finds the ‘perfect’ driver who can pick up the rider in the least possible time.

» Usability

Because of many factors, many times a driver who is just a few blocks away from the rider cannot pick him up faster than a driver who is a bit far away. With Uber’s AI-based matching algorithm, Uber now does not give priority to the driver who is ‘nearest’, but to the driver who is ‘fastest’. This new matching algorithm is helping both drivers and riders by saving their time.

How does Coruscate bring it to life?

However, these Uber-like apps aren’t as successful as the native Uber app due to very obvious reasons. Many of them didn’t get the operational license from the governments, Google pulled down many clone taxi apps from the PlayStore, and many other taxi apps fought an uphill battle to acquire the initial users.

Thus, it now becomes vitally important to think beyond the Uber. Now, the fundamental requirement you need to satisfy before developing any taxi app is to bring innovation in it and make the app stands out.

Looking at the urgency, we will talk about three taxi apps which work similar to Uber but satisfying different purposes and have a few groundbreaking feature sets.

1) Onward

 
Onward is the Los Angeles – based taxi booking app providing company for only older adults. It was founded by Adam Singer and Mark Lewis.

While Lyft and Uber weren’t developed justifying the requirements of older adults who need a little help to get out of the houses or need someone to get them to and from the doctors, Onward app comes to aid.

Through Onward app, any older adult can book the ride and feel safe to have on board with a trained driver. Onward’s drivers are trained in CPR, dementia, and have a spotless background. Their cars are also inspected more often than Uber.

The idea to develop such app popped in the Lewis’ mind when one day he was talking with his mother-in-law who had Alzheimer’s. He thought how efficient it would be to offer round-trip and door-to-door service with the trained drivers to the older adults.

Taxi app like Onward can attract three types of customers: older adults who cannot drive by themselves, anyone who cannot drive for medical reasons, and caretakers who want to provide reliable and safe transportation to their loved ones.

Recently, Onward has raised $1.5 million in seed funding from Royal Street Ventures, Matchstick Ventures, and JPK Capital.

>> The business model of Onward

 
Though it seems like Onward works on the Uber fashion, Onward is far away from the Uber when it comes to the business model.

The main difference between Uber and Onward is how they pay their drivers. While Uber drivers earn per ride, Onward drivers are paid hourly – as minimum as $20 per hour.

Another innovation team of Onward brought into a business model is how they charge riders for the ride. Onward charges riders per hour, $35. But after one hour, Onward charges riders by the minute.

2) Kango

 
Kango is the San Francisco-based taxi booking app providing company for the kids. It was founded by Sara Schaer, a working mother who had always found it difficult to reach office on time after dropping kids off the school.

The idea was simple. Offer an Uber-like app solution where parents can book the ride for their kids and certified drivers pick them up from the location parents add.

During the initial years of the Kango, they offered peer-to-peer carpooling service to working mothers and fathers. But later in 2015, they rewrote the code and turned the app into kids ride-sharing app.

Considering the fact that Kango is the ride-sharing app for the kids, they put extra emphasis on safety and security. Their all drivers are certified and tracked live by the staff. Unlike Uber, they hire drivers who have some sort of childcare experience. They even let parents track the ride of their kids and share the experience with other parents. Kango is also planning to collaborate with schools and let them track and rate each ride like parents.

>> Milestone achieved by Kango

• Currently, only around 12 people are working for Kango. However, This staff of 12 people monitors hundreds of drivers.
• Started from San Francisco, they have added more than 6 cities to their business operational areas till now.
• Kango was declared the ‘Best Uber for Kids’ in 2017 by San Francisco Magazine.
• In the first month of 2019, Kango has raised $3.6 million in its series A fundinground which was led by National Express LLC.

3) Shebah

 
Safety of riders has always been the concern for ride-sharing companies, governments, and users. Data from the official sources of Uber revealed that Uber has received 170 complaints of sexual assaults in just one year. In fact, in countries like India, Uber had to fight a legal battle against the government after many cases of sexual assault have been recorded.

To address these issues, Georgina McEncore founded Shebah. It is the Australia-based ride-sharing service provider, providing taxi service only for women and children.

Shebah does not only allow women and children to request the ride, but they only register female drivers. In its short life, it has acquired 370 active drivers and more than 12000 users.

Currently, the services of the Shebah is available in Queensland, Victoria, and Sydney. But according to the founder of Shebah, the market for such taxi app is very huge and they are likely to explore it soon.

Though Shebah only allows female riders to ride, there are some exceptional cases in which male can also request the ride.

• Boys over 13 and under 18 can travel only to and from school.
• If not school, boys should have their mother or female guardians with them.
• A male who wants to ride in Shebah must have his female partner with him. However, in such a case, he is required to pre-book the ride via ‘Schedule Later’ app feature.
