How to grow your payments app with chauffeurs and wedding car hire
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Chauffeur firms and wedding car hire businesses drive couples, business travellers and families to weddings, airports and events. Wedding cars are often booked a year ahead with a deposit, and the balance is due a few weeks before the day. A payments app that takes deposits and balances by link, and card payments for airport runs, can win these drivers, and every customer who pays sees your app.
Talk to chauffeurs and wedding car firms
Ask local drivers and firms:
- How do customers pay deposits today?
- When is the balance due?
- How do business clients pay?
- Do you ever chase payments after a job?
Hold the date with a deposit
A deposit paid by link when the couple books holds the car for the day and saves the firm from last-minute cancellations.
Send the balance before the day
A balance link sent a few weeks before the wedding lets the couple or their family pay from anywhere, so the driver never handles money on the day.
Grow through wedding suppliers
Wedding car firms know the venues, photographers and florists couples book. One firm on your app can introduce the rest of the wedding.
