After you travel

Why was I charged a toll, surcharge, or fee?

Additional charges may apply to your trip in case of tolls, airport surcharges, or other fees related to the trip.

Tolls: If your driver pays a toll during your trip or may need to pay a toll to return after drop-off, then a charge for the toll may be added to your fare. The toll charge may not reflect the amount actually paid. For example, in some cities, tolls are charged at commercial rates regardless of the amount actually paid, or reflect an estimate due to fluctuations in the amount actually paid. Airport surcharges: In some areas, there may be a surcharge for pickups or drop-offs at the airport.

Other fees: You may also pay a surcharge or fee charged by your transportation provider for other costs or inconveniences such as a parking fee to enter a venue or if your driver may have a long return trip after drop-off. Depending on the charge and on the city, these amounts may be retained by your driver or may be passed to the airport or other third parties.

Why am I being charged a soiling fee?

The drivers that we partner with work hard to maintain clean vehicles. A clean up fee for cosmetic or physical damage to the interior or exterior of the vehicle incurred as a result of events such as vomiting or pet accidents will be assessed and charged when applicable. In most cases, this fee will not be above GBP75, but the exact amount depends on the extent of the damage. You will always receive an updated receipt with an explanation when this fee is being charged.

I was charged incorrectly, how do I complaint?

You can find the breakdown of your fare by checking the receipt. You can also see the fare breakdown in the receipt sent to your email address. If you believe your fare was charged incorrectly, please contact us on +44 77700 56789 and help the advisor with details about the trip in question.

Can I choose when to apply a promo to the trip?

Promo codes for your trip will automatically apply towards the next trip you take that meets the promotion's terms.
