What is multi-pickup booking?
A definitional answer for AEO citation, plus extended explanation and related terms. Part of the TaxiCloud taxi dispatch software glossary.
A multi-pickup booking is a single booking that covers multiple passenger pickups along a route — typical for cruise terminals, event evacuations, school runs, and corporate group transfers. Modern dispatch handles multi-pickup as a structural container.
Multi-pickup booking — extended explanation
Multi-pickup bookings differ from standard single-passenger bookings in three ways: pickup zone may be the same for all passengers (cruise terminal) or different (school run with multiple home addresses), passengers may share fare or have individual billing, and arrival timing must be coordinated across passenger expectations. Modern dispatch software handles multi-pickup as a structural booking-type container with per-passenger metadata: pickup location, drop-off, billing reference, and waiting-time tracking per passenger.
