The cancellation fee is a necessary measure to compensate drivers for their time and effort in responding to journey requests. It helps ensure a fair and sustainable system for both drivers and customers. However, a cancellation fee will not be applied on all the journeys. The applicability of the cancellation fee is explained in detail below.
Cancellation Fee Applicability:
The cancellation fee logic varies between on-demand and scheduled journeys, considering factors like pick-up time, driver arrival, and vehicle category.
On-demand Journeys:
Cancellation after the driver’s arrival at the pick-up location:
Minimum fare of AED 12 will be charged.
Scheduled Journeys:
Scheduled journeys cancelled 90 minutes before the pick-up time: No cancellation fee is applied in such cases.
If the cancellation happens within 90 minutes from the pick-up time, a cancellation fee is applied as follows:
Cancellation before driver’s arrival at the pick-up location:
A cancellation fee of AED 15 is applied.
Cancellation after the driver’s arrival at the pick-up location:
Minimum fare value plus any pre-pick-up wait-time fee incurred will be charged.
