Driver Refund Policy
We hope that every trip you book through the rider app goes without issue but we understand that sometimes things happen. If a trip you take does not meet your expectations, you can share your feedback by rating your driver in the app; and if you believe there was an error with your price or a more serious issue occurred on your trip, you can report it to our Support team. In some cases, your report may be covered by our Driver Refund Policy.
We want you to know what to expect when you report issues, so we are sharing examples of when you may be eligible to receive a full or partial refund of the price you paid. If you have an issue on a trip, let us know within 14 days. All requests will be evaluated at this sole discretion, and on a case-by-case basis.
As a reminder, Driver is a marketplace that connects users to complete trips booked by a Driver and accepted by a driver within the app. As a Driver, you own the decision to take a trip or not. Driver provides information to Drivers prior starting a trip, such as:
- Pricing and other estimates in app like an upfront price and estimated time of arrival
- Vehicle and driver details like license plate, driver name, and vehicle type
As a Driver, it’s your responsibility to check the information provided is accurate and meets your expectations of quality. If you decide to take a trip, you are accepting the terms of service and are taking responsibility for the successful payment of that trip.
When am I eligible to receive a full or partial refund?
Examples of when you may be eligible to receive a full or partial refund include:
- A fare or fee was charged in error or your trip experienced a technical issue, like an eligible promotion not applying correctly
- Your trip price was significantly higher than the estimate you were shown in the app prior to booking, and it was not due to added stops, or a changed destination
- Your trip was not completed within a reasonable walking distance to your requested destination
- You or the intended Driver did not take the trip or there are other fraud concerns
