- Instant Bookings – for immediate ride requests.
- Preorders – for scheduled rides at a future time.
Instant bookings are requested when a customer needs a ride immediately. These bookings:
Are assigned to drivers based on the Intelligent Queue Algorithm.
Are available only to drivers within their working radius and the company's operational area.
Trigger a short sound alert and a 10-second escalating ringtone when received.
Appear in a green-colored screen in the app.

Preorders are scheduled rides that customers book in advance. These bookings:
Are sent to 500 drivers within the company’s operational area, regardless of their current location.
Can be received even if a driver is off-shift, unless the setting “Receive preorders while off shift” is disabled.
Trigger a short sound alert and a 10-second escalating ringtone when received.
Appear in a turquoise-colored screen in the app.
Can be accepted immediately or later from the "Preorders" tab if the driver finds it suitable.
Stay in the notification panel until manually removed, even if another driver accepts them.
