Mint Drivers — a WordPress brochure to a chauffeur booking surface with a real fare calculator

  • Local Pro Services

Mint Drivers runs luxury Mercedes chauffeur service in Warsaw — E-Class, S-Class, V-Class, and Maybach. The legacy WordPress site greeted visitors with a cookie-consent wall and told them almost nothing about price. The rebuild is a Next.js 15 booking surface built on the company's real net tariff: an interactive price calculator quotes the actual fare by route and vehicle class, bookings get MD-XXXX references a dispatcher can work with, and a PL/EN toggle serves both the local and the airport-transfer market. Token-gated admin; live at mintdrivers.oglife.app pending the 9,900 PLN quote.

A chauffeur service that hides its prices is asking for a phone call nobody wants to make. The tariff is real — so quote it.

The pixel diff

Overview, then the walkthrough.

Left: everything the legacy site shipped — frozen in place. Right: an auto-scrolling tour of the rebuild, from hero to booking. No slider to fight with.

Before — the overview

Before — the overview

This is everything the legacy site had to offer above the fold. No pricing, no calendar, no booking — the funnel ended at a mailto.

Auto-scrolls through the modern site so you can see the booking surface, the package grid, the pricing table, and the calendar inline — without leaving this page.

The four beats

Scroll past the legacy frame. The four beats land in order. At the end, the modern site fades into the same window.

Legacy
01 · Problem

A luxury service whose first impression was a cookie wall.

The before-captures tell it straight: a first-time visitor to mintdrivers.pl met a consent modal over a dated WordPress theme, and behind it, no prices and no way to book. For a Maybach-tier service, the site was the one shabby touchpoint.

02 · Insight

The tariff already exists — the site just refused to say it.

The company runs on a real net tariff. Exposing it as an interactive calculator converts the highest-intent visitors (airport transfers, corporate accounts) without a phone call, and filters price-shoppers honestly.

03 · Build

Calculator + booking flow + bilingual surface on the proven stack.

Next.js 15 + Railway Postgres, same rails as the sibling EFES build for the same client. Fare calculator on the real tariff, MD-XXXX booking references, token-gated admin, PL/EN toggle, Vercel CLI deploys.

04 · Outcome

Live on staging; 9,900 PLN quote with the client.

mintdrivers.oglife.app is live end-to-end. On quote sign-off, mintdrivers.pl cuts over and the fare calculator becomes the market's only transparent Mercedes-chauffeur pricing in the city.

What changed

Grouped by what kind of system shipped.

Each claim ships with concrete evidence — env vars, table names, cadence chips. No marketing fluff.

Design

A fare calculator built on the real tariff

The calculator quotes actual fares from the company's real net tariff by route and vehicle class — E-Class through Maybach — instead of the sector-standard 'request a quote' black box. Price transparency is the conversion feature: the customer who sees the number books.

Before
Pricing lived in the dispatcher's head; the site said 'contact us'.
After
A visitor self-quotes the exact fare in seconds, in either language.
Retention

Bookings a dispatcher can actually work

Every booking gets an MD-XXXX reference and lands in a token-gated admin — a real handle for the phone call, the driver assignment, and the follow-up, instead of an email thread with no ID.

  • MD-XXXX reference generated per booking
  • Token-gated admin, workable from a phone
Design

PL/EN because the market is both

Warsaw chauffeur demand splits between local business clients and international arrivals booking airport transfers. The full surface — calculator included — runs in Polish and English via a proper language toggle, not machine-translated fragments.
