Hootling for Business
Accurate taxi fare data and tipping guidance for travel platforms, publishers, and corporate tools — via API, white-label, or data licence.
Why it matters
Every hotel booking, flight check-in, and trip itinerary has the same unanswered question: "How much will the taxi cost?" Hootling answers it — 120+ cities, real local meter rates, AI-verified scam warnings, and tipping guidance for 50+ countries.
One mid-size travel platform integration reaches more users in a week than months of direct consumer growth.
Who we work with
Travel platforms & booking apps
Add taxi fare estimates at checkout — "Your hotel is 18 km from the airport. Estimated taxi: $12–15." Reduces post-booking anxiety and increases booking confidence.
API credits from $0.20 per query, or flat monthly access
Corporate travel management
Give finance and travel managers real fare benchmarks to validate employee taxi expense claims. Eliminates out-of-policy disputes before they start.
From $299/month per company — white-label available
