Cancellation and refund policy

Last updated 10 November 2026

How to cancel or change a booking, what it costs, and how refunds work.

Cancelling your booking

  • Cancel from the link in your booking messages, or call or WhatsApp us. You can cancel until the driver starts the trip.
  • Free cancellation: until 2 hours before pickup for local trips, 2 hours before pickup for airport trips, 12 hours before pickup for outstation trips. Your booking shows the exact time.
  • After that, a late cancellation has no fee.
  • Cancelling is always free if the fare we confirm is higher than your estimate, or if we offer a lower class of car than you booked.

If the passenger doesn’t come

If the passenger does not come within the free waiting time and we cannot reach them, the booking may be closed as a no-show, with no fee. Any advance beyond that is refunded.

If we cancel

If we cannot serve a confirmed booking, you pay nothing, any advance is refunded in full, and we call you to help find another option.

Changing a trip

You can change many details from your booking link. If a change affects the fare, you see the new estimate before you accept it. Close to pickup, or once a driver is assigned, send a change request and we will call you.

Refunds

  • Refunds go back to the account or UPI ID you paid from. Cash is refunded by UPI or bank transfer.
  • We start the refund within 2 working days of the cancellation or decision. Banks usually take 3 to 5 working days to credit it; we send you the reference on WhatsApp.
  • If a refund has not arrived after 10 working days, call or WhatsApp +91 82176 08411, or write to 3, 1st Main, Krishna Temple Road, Dwaraka Nagar, Bengaluru 560085.
