Instant Bookings vs. Preorders: what drivers need to know

The system offers two types of ride requests:
  • Instant Bookings – for immediate ride requests.
  • Preorders – for scheduled rides at a future time.
Instant Bookings

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

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.
