Turn Weekend Rides Into Repeat Business: How to Use Promo Codes to Grow Your Leisure Bookings

The Promo Code Advantage for Leisure Travel
Leisure travelers want value, convenience, and memorable experiences. Whether it's a wedding, prom, night out, winery tour, or a family airport trip, they’re looking for something that feels exclusive—and that’s where promo codes shine.
Promo codes aren’t just discounts; they’re strategic tools to help your transportation business drive bookings, build loyalty, and compete with rideshare apps. With an average leisure booking value of $240 and margins ranging from 20–30%, even modest promotions can turn into meaningful returns.
1. Why Promo Codes Work for Leisure Customers
- Encourage spontaneous bookings for special occasions and weekend trips
- Attract first-time riders and help them try your premium service risk-free
- Create urgency and exclusivity, encouraging faster decision-making
- Strengthen brand recognition, especially in competitive metro and tourist markets
