**Build a Cab Booking & Fare Aggregation Platform Similar to MakeMyTrip, Goibibo and Savaari (Web + Admin Panel )**

---

### Project Description

I am looking for an experienced development team or freelancer to build a complete cab booking platform similar to MakeMyTrip Cabs, Goibibo Cabs and Savaari.

The platform should allow users to search and book:

* One Way Trips
* Round Trips
* Airport Transfers
* Local Rentals
* Outstation Cabs
* Multi-City Trips

The system should display fares dynamically in a way similar to MMT, Goibibo and Savaari.

## Core Requirement

One of the most important parts of this project is the **Fare Calculation & Pricing Engine**.

Before bidding, please explain:

### Option 1 – API Based Fare Calculation

If you plan to use third-party APIs:

* Which APIs will be used?
* How will distance and route data be fetched?
* How will pricing be calculated?
* How will surge pricing be handled?
* What will be the monthly API costs?
* What dependencies will exist on external providers?

---

### Option 2 – Custom Fare Engine

If you plan to build a custom pricing engine:

Please explain how the fare will be calculated.

Example:

```
Distance Calculation
+
Base Fare
+
Per KM Rate
+
Driver Allowance
+
Toll Charges
+
State Tax
+
Night Charges
+
Demand Multiplier
+
Platform Margin
=
Final Customer Fare
```

The system should allow different pricing for:

* Hatchback
* Sedan
* SUV
* Innova Crysta
* Tempo Traveller

## Pricing Engine Requirements

The fare engine should support:

* Base Fare
* Minimum Distance
* Per KM Charges
* Per Minute Charges
* Driver Bata
* Toll Estimation
* State Tax
* Airport Parking
* Night Charges
* Peak Hour Pricing
* Seasonal Pricing
* Demand Based Multiplier
* Promo Codes
* GST
* Company Margin

Admin should be able to modify all pricing values without developer intervention.

## Route & Distance Calculation

Please explain:

* Will Google Maps API be used?
* Will OpenStreetMap / Mapbox be used?
* How will route optimization work?
* How will distance and travel time be calculated?
* How accurate will toll calculations be?

I want fare estimates to be as close as possible to MakeMyTrip, Goibibo and Savaari.

### Important Question (Must Answer in Proposal)

**How will you achieve fare calculation accuracy similar to MakeMyTrip, Goibibo and Savaari?**

Please explain whether you will:

1. Use third-party fare APIs.
2. Build a custom pricing engine.
3. Use a hybrid model (API + Custom Pricing Engine).
Also provide a sample fare calculation flow

I prefer a custom pricing engine where distance/time comes from Maps API but fare calculation is controlled by my own pricing rules.
