What sets AllRide apart from CDS?
CDS is a chauffeur booking and dispatch system with a simple flat-licence price and the CDS Connect affiliate network. AllRide runs cab, bus, and delivery on one white-label platform and adds seat-level booking, recurring routes, car rental, passes, advanced pricing and IoT predictive maintenance - while still covering chauffeur and executive work.
Is AllRide a good CDS alternative?
It depends on your business. If chauffeur and executive travel is your entire focus and you value a specialist with a simple price and an affiliate network, CDS is well matched. If you're adding taxi, shuttle, school, car rental, delivery work, or you want fully owned white-label apps and global reach, AllRide is the better fit.
Does AllRide support chauffeur and executive travel?
Yes. AllRide covers chauffeur and executive work - branded booking, airport transfers with flight-aware pickups, multi-stop trips, account clients and driver management - as part of a wider platform that also runs taxi, bus, car rental, and delivery.
Can AllRide handle bus, coach and school transport?
Yes, and this is a core difference. AllRide supports fixed routes with defined stops, recurring trips across selected operating weekdays with automatic holiday exclusions, a seating layout builder for seat-level booking and pricing, student and passenger records, guardian co-passengers, and bulk reservation upload for onboarding large contracts.
How does AllRide pricing compare to CDS?
CDS charges £90+VAT per licence per month for editing users, with free view-only logins and no per-car or per-job charges. AllRide publishes plans from $49 onwards/month with pay-as-you-grow billing and white-label included. Compare total cost against the range of services you run - a chauffeur-only tool versus a multi-vertical platform.
Do both offer white-label and an affiliate network?
CDS provides branded chauffeur apps and the CDS Connect affiliate network for passing work between member companies. AllRide ships white-label customer and driver apps; its focus is multi-vertical operations rather than a chauffeur affiliate network. Match the choice to whether affiliate work or vertical breadth matters more.
Can I migrate from CDS to AllRide?
Yes, with planning. Export customers, drivers, vehicles and booking history, then rebuild pricing rules, fleet configuration, driver approvals and payment connections in AllRide. Run both platforms briefly in parallel rather than cutting over in a single day. Ask for a migration plan during your demo.
