Zed, Dubai’s homegrown ride-hailing app, has introduced the emirate’s first-ever ‘1-tap booking’ feature, enabling riders to book a trip instantly in one tap.
Designed for people on the go and those needing reliable rides to fit their routines, the new feature is unique to Zed. The feature is now live on Zed’s mobile application, available for download both on iOS and Android, and can be used for taxi trips and premium rides.
Developed to cater to Dubai’s fast-paced lifestyle, the 1-tap booking feature addresses the need for hassle free bookings for dependable routine rides, such as work trips, school runs, errands, and nights out.
Seamless ride
By delivering seamless ride-reservations with a technology-driven approach, the feature shortens the current booking process on Zed’s platform from multiple steps to just one with automated selections of user preferences and confirmations, thereby improving the application’s ease of use.
“The launch of the 1-tap booking feature reflects Zed’s mission to make everyday journeys simpler, faster, and more human. This launch is another step in our vision to move cities forward through people-focused innovation,” said Badr Al Ghurair, CEO, Zed.
Preferred payment method
The app automatically saves the user’s preferred payment method and vehicle type for future convenience. Once configured, the 1-Tap appears on the home screen, allowing users to book their regular journey instantly with a single tap.
“As a homegrown brand, we understand our responsibility to innovate locally and build features that match the pace, energy, and people of Dubai. It’s a simple innovation with a big impact on speed and simplicity,” said Abhinav Patwa, Executive Vice President and Head, Zed.
