WhatsApp message templates for taxi and fleet operators
Taxi and fleet operators run on about 8 to 9 templates, and almost all are utility. Driver and vehicle details, ride confirmations, trip receipts and account statements all belong to a ride in progress or an account already held; marketing is a spare-capacity or off-peak offer, never a message against each trip.
A dispatch desk fielding calls about driver details and delays cannot grow beyond the phone lines it has. WhatsApp delivers the driver, vehicle and timing straight to the passenger and keeps a written record when a ride runs late.

- Every template is submitted under one category, and Meta assigns the final one in review. A utility template that reads like a promotion can be reclassified as marketing, which changes both the rate and the opt-in requirement.
- Since 1 October 2026, service messages are charged per delivered message after the first 1,000 free service messages per business phone number per month. The allowance does not roll over and there are no volume tiers.
- Inbound messages are free, and a customer-initiated message opens the 24-hour customer service window. Anything you start outside that window needs an approved template.
