The “Minicabit for Business” platform enables agents to compare cab quotes and pre-book regular cabs and executive cars throughout the UK.

The company said the travel sector would be able to access local and out of town cab trips for staff and clients.

Agents’ customers will also be able to access their cab booking details and booking history via minicabit’s mobile website and app .

The company said it would additionally offer agents booking support for minibuses and limos.

Minicabit said the move formed part of its “wider strategy… to extend access to its platform and business model for the travel sector as a whole”, with one in five of its cab bookings currently taken for business trips.

The business recently successful secured backing from investors and business figures, following earlier investment from Telefonica O2, the mobile operator. It was also the first mobile app to win offers of investment on BBC’s Dragons’ Den.

Carl Cromie, head of partnerships at minicabit, said: “The travel sector has a great track record in adopting the latest technologies in retailing flights, hotels and other travel products online.

"But until now, they’ve typically had to lock customers and businesses to one cab rate from one cab firm in one city, or worse, offer them a bunch of cab firms’ phone numbers to call around.

“Now, travel agents large and small can easily enable their staff and customers to book the best rates from hundreds of cab fleets UK-wide via our simple booking platform.

"With ‘minicabit for Business’, the end to end travel experience is no longer broken.”
