Manchester's private hire trade runs on volume and tight turnaround — city centre nightlife, a busy airport, student populations in Fallowfield and Rusholme, and a licensing regime split across Greater Manchester's ten boroughs. Global Taxi Dispatch provides Manchester operators with round-the-clock call answering and booking entry, working inside the dispatch platform you already run.

Bookings go straight into the dispatch software you already run — iCabbi, Autocab, Cordic, Cab9, Mercury, Ghost, TaxiCaller or an in-house system — so nothing changes for your drivers and there is no migration to manage.
We currently handle over 7,000 bookings a day for more than 37 fleets worldwide. For Manchester operators that means overnight cover, weekend overflow, or full round-the-clock dispatch, scaled to your call volume rather than your payroll.
Airport work is the highest-value job most Manchester fleets take, and the one most sensitive to a missed call. We take the booking, confirm flight times and terminal, and enter it directly so the job is allocated before the passenger has hung up.
Term-time weekends in Fallowfield, Withington and the Northern Quarter generate call surges that swamp a two-person control room. We provide the extra capacity without you adding permanent headcount.
Greater Manchester operators frequently hold licences across multiple councils. Our dispatchers work to the rules you set for which vehicles can take which jobs, so allocation stays compliant.
Most Manchester fleets we work with route their overnight and weekend overflow to us first, then extend to full 24/7 cover once the booking numbers make the case.
Our dispatchers work to your coverage map and pricing rules. Common Manchester pickup and drop-off areas include:
An in-house dispatcher costs a full salary whether the phone rings twice an hour or forty times, needs cover for holidays and sickness, and takes weeks to train on your systems and local geography. Outsourced dispatch converts that fixed cost into a variable one that tracks actual demand.
The revenue argument is usually simpler than the cost one. A phone that rings out at 2am, or engages during the Friday evening peak, sends that passenger straight to a competitor or a rideshare app — and often permanently. Closing that gap is where outsourced dispatch pays for itself.
Setup is typically under one working day: we map your call scripts, connect to your dispatch platform, run test bookings with you, then switch the line across. There is no long-term contract, and hours can be scaled up or down month to month.
