What Acting driver booking on WhatsApp actually is
An acting-driver business usually runs on phone calls, voice notes and a notebook: who is free, who has gone where, who collected how much. This replaces that with a chat flow your customers already know how to use. A customer sends a message, picks the trip type and time, shares their pickup pin and confirms. The request goes to your nearest registered driver first, then the next, until someone accepts. The driver confirms how the customer paid and you get a running ledger of what each driver owes you or you owe them. Nothing for customers or drivers to download, and the number they chat with is yours.
Add your drivers
Register each driver by phone number. They share their location when they go available and the app offers them nearby jobs one at a time.
Share your number and take bookings
Put your WhatsApp number on your signage and socials. Customers book by chat; you watch bookings, assign or cancel from the web panel.
What you get on day one
Booking by chat in under a minute
Menu buttons, a location pin and a clear fare quote before the customer confirms, with time and date understood in plain words.
Nearest driver first
One live offer at a time, nearest driver first, widening the search area if nobody accepts, with a time limit on each offer.
Fares you control
Set a base fare, hourly and distance rates, night charges and trip types. The quote shown equals the fare charged.
Cash and online settlement ledger
Drivers confirm how each trip was paid. You see who holds cash that belongs to you and who you owe, and record payments between you.
Consent captured in the chat
Customers and drivers reply AGREE to your published terms and the acceptance is stored as evidence with the exact version they saw.
Owner control from WhatsApp too
Get alerts for new and unassigned bookings and assign a driver or cancel directly from your own phone.

Questions people ask
Can I run an acting-driver service on WhatsApp without building an app?
Yes. Customers and drivers only use WhatsApp. You set up your rates and cities in a short form, connect your own WhatsApp Business number and manage everything from a web admin panel.
Whose WhatsApp number is used?
Yours. Your customers see your business name and number, and 10mins never sits between you and them. Connecting needs a Meta WhatsApp Business account, which the admin panel walks you through.
How are drivers matched to a booking?
The request is offered to one driver at a time, nearest first, each with a time limit. If nobody accepts, the search widens to a larger area and you are alerted so you can assign someone by hand.
How much does 10mins charge?
No setup cost and a 14-day free trial. After that it is a flat Rs 499 a month plus 5% of the value of completed bookings, with no cap on the 5%. Customers pay you or the driver directly, so 10mins never holds trip money.
Does it handle cash payments to drivers?
Yes. The driver confirms whether the customer paid cash or online, and the settlement ledger works out what each driver owes you after their share.
Can I make a booking bot like the ones big driver apps use?
That is the idea at a local scale. You get a chat booking flow, driver dispatch and a settlement ledger under your own brand and number, without paying for custom development.
Do customers or drivers need to install anything?
No. Everything happens inside WhatsApp, so nobody downloads an app or creates an account.
Other apps you can launch on 10mins
Your app can be live today
No setup fee, no developer, no app store. You pay 5% of what you actually sell — nothing before that.
