Refunds and compensations depend on who can’t travel as planned and when they let us know.

1. What if the passenger cancels more than 24 hours before departure time?

We’ll refund their booking, excluding service fees.

2. What if the passenger cancels in the last 24 hours before departure time?

If the passenger books more than 24 hours in advance, we’ll refund them 50% of the booking, excluding service fees. We’ll also compensate the driver 50% because the passenger cancelled shortly before the ride.

If they book in the last 24 hours before the ride, but cancel within 30 minutes of booking, we’ll refund their booking, excluding service fees.

3. What if the passenger doesn’t show up?

We’ll compensate the driver the full passenger contribution. It’s not fair for drivers to be kept waiting, so it’s best that passengers cancel their booking beforehand.

4. What if the driver cancels?

We’ll fully refund the passenger, including service fees.

5. What if the driver should’ve cancelled but didn’t?

The passenger should give us a heads up that they didn’t travel together from the Bookings page on their profile within 24 hours of the departure time. They’ll need to select a reason why this ride couldn’t happen and provide all relevant details.

Out of fairness, the driver will then get the next 7 days to agree or disagree. If the driver agrees, we’ll fully refund the passenger, including service fees. It’ll be exactly as if the driver cancelled the ride.

If the driver disagrees, we’ll ask them to provide all relevant details. We’ll then hand the claim over to our Member Relations team who’ll process the refund using the information we have, and in accordance with our Cancellation policy. Keep an eye on your emails because they may be in touch to ask for some extra details.

Once a ride has been booked,

Drivers will present themselves on time and at the place agreed with the specified vehicle. If the Driver decides to change the details of the ride, he/she has the responsibility to inform his/her passengers who have already booked the ride about the changes. In this case, he/she must get the agreement of all the passengers that have booked the ride to validate the changes;

Drivers will wait for the Passenger(s) at the pickup point for at least 15 minutes after the agreed time (however, the Passenger is expected to be punctual);

Drivers will hold a valid driving license, and they must have it with them at all times;

Drivers will abide by all road rules and laws of the country;

Drivers will have a copy of their insurance policy, registration certificate/licence in the car.

Drivers will drop off Passengers at the exact drop off location as agreed upon when the ride was booked.
