Booking a cab usually takes only a few minutes. But if you have ever booked one online, you know there are quite a few steps involved.
You have to enter your pickup location, destination, and travel date, choose a car, check the fare, enter your details, and then complete the booking.
It works, but sometimes you just want to tell someone where you are going and get the booking done.
That is why CabBazar has now added a new way to book an outstation cab.
You can now book your cab through WhatsApp.
Instead of going through the usual cab booking process on the website, you can now start your outstation cab booking through the CabBazar WhatsApp chatbot, share your travel details, and follow the booking steps from there.
How does CabBazar WhatsApp booking work?
It is quite simple.
Start a chat with CabBazar on WhatsApp and tell the chatbot about your trip.
You can share things like:
- Where you want to go
- Where you want to be picked up
- Your travel date
- Whether you need a one-way or round-trip cab
- The type of car you prefer
The chatbot will then guide you through the booking process and help you complete your booking.
So instead of filling out a booking form from the beginning, you can simply start by telling CabBazar what you need.
For example:
“I need a cab from Delhi to Jaipur on 25 August for four people.”
That's where the idea becomes useful.
You don't have to first figure out which fields you need to fill in. You can start with your actual travel requirements.
Why book a cab through WhatsApp?
Most of us already use WhatsApp every day.
We use it to talk to family, friends, colleagues, and businesses. We send messages, share locations, ask questions, and receive updates there.
So when a service is available on WhatsApp, there is very little new to learn.
The same idea applies to cab booking.
If you already know how to send a WhatsApp message, you already know how to start your CabBazar booking.
There is no separate messaging app to download just for this.
What makes this different from normal cab booking?
The biggest difference is how you start the booking.
On a normal booking page, you usually start with a form.
You enter the pickup point.
Then the destination.
Then the date.
Then the vehicle.
Then your details.
With WhatsApp, you can start with a simple message.
For example:
“I want to travel from Mumbai to Pune this Sunday. We are four people and need an SUV.”
From there, the chatbot can take you through the relevant steps. Such as
Start chat → Enter trip details → Get available options/fare → Select cab → Enter passenger details → Make payment → Receive confirmation
This can be helpful when you are not completely sure what option you need or simply prefer asking rather than going through a booking form.
Useful for outstation travel
Outstation cab bookings can sometimes involve more questions than a regular local ride.
You may want to know whether you should book a one-way or round-trip cab. You may be travelling with family and need a bigger vehicle. You may have questions about the available options for your route.
These are the kinds of things people normally ask before making a booking.
Having a WhatsApp conversation gives customers a familiar place to start.
Instead of searching through different pages, you can begin by explaining your trip.
A more convenient experience With CabBazar
The new WhatsApp feature is not meant to replace the existing CabBazar website booking experience.
If you like booking directly through the website, you can continue doing that.
WhatsApp simply gives you another option.
Some people prefer selecting everything themselves on a website. Others would rather send a message and go through the process step by step.
Now, CabBazar gives you both choices.
More than just another booking channel
The way people use online services has changed.
We have become used to doing everyday things on our phones. We order food, make payments, talk to businesses, and get customer support online.
But convenience is not always about adding more features.
Sometimes it is about making a simple task easier.
CabBazar's WhatsApp booking feature is built around that idea.
You already use WhatsApp. You already know how to send a message.
So instead of asking you to learn another system, CabBazar lets you start your cab booking through something you already know how to use.
What happens after you start the chat?
The WhatsApp chatbot is designed to take you through the booking process.
You share your travel requirements, provide the information needed for the booking and follow the instructions provided in the chat.
The aim is to keep the process simple and easy to follow.
And because the conversation stays on WhatsApp, you don't have to keep switching between different apps just to communicate about your booking.
A simpler way to book your next cab
First, people depended mostly on phone calls and travel agents. Then websites made online booking possible. Mobile apps made it even more convenient.
Now, booking can start with a WhatsApp message.
Are you planning an outstation trip? You can now start your CabBazar booking on WhatsApp. Share your travel details with the chatbot and follow the steps to complete your booking.
The idea is straightforward:
You tell CabBazar where you want to go. We help you book the cab.
So the next time you need an outstation cab, you can book it through the CabBazar website as usual—or simply start a conversation on WhatsApp.
