Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Short answers. Each links to the policy that covers it properly.

Booking

Do I need an account to book?
No. Give a pickup, destination, date and time and you will see quotes. An account is only created when you book, and no card is needed to get a price.

How do I know which driver I am getting?
You choose. Each quote shows the driver's name, photograph and rating, and the vehicle's make, model, class and registration number — before you commit. See passenger safety.

How far ahead should I book?
In Colombo, the airport corridor, Kandy and the south coast, same-day is usually fine. Elsewhere, and for any early-morning airport run, book the day before. See where we operate.

Price

Can the price change after I book?
No. The price is fixed when you book. It changes only if you change the journey — a different destination, extra stops, waiting beyond the allowance, or more passengers than the vehicle takes. See pricing and payments.

Do you surge price?
No. Not at peak, not on public holidays, not in bad weather. Night journeys between 22:00 and 05:00 are quoted at the published night rate, which is already included in the price you see.

Why is a one-way long-distance trip so expensive?
Because the vehicle has to get back. A one-way fare carries the return leg. For several days of travel, a multi-day hire is usually cheaper.

Can I pay cash?
Yes, directly to the driver at the quoted fare. Card payments are taken on Stripe's hosted page; we never see or store your card number.

Changes and cancellations

What does it cost to cancel?
Nothing, more than 24 hours ahead — and nothing for most journeys up to 2 hours ahead. Closer than that, charges apply. See cancellation and refunds.

My flight is delayed. Do I lose the booking?
No, provided you gave your flight number. Waiting is 60 minutes from the actual landing time, and a delayed flight moves the booking at no charge. See airport transfers.

Practicalities

How much luggage fits?
Count people first — seat count is the binding limit. Declare oversized items at booking. See luggage and accessibility.

Can I get a child seat?
Request it at booking with the child's age and weight. Availability varies by operator, so book earlier than usual.

Can I travel with my dog?
Declare it at booking; it is at the operator's discretion. Assistance dogs always travel, free, and are never refused.

Problems

The car that arrived is not the one I booked.
Do not travel. A substitution must be notified beforehand and be of equivalent or higher class at no extra cost. If you were not told, you may cancel free of charge. Report it through the contact form.

I left something in the vehicle.
Report it with your booking reference as soon as you notice. We contact the driver, and recovered items are held for 30 days.

How do I complain?
Through the contact form, complaint category. Acknowledged within 1 working day, answered within 10, and reviewed by a second person if you disagree. See complaints and disputes.

Driving with us

What do I need to join?
Identity, a licence valid for your vehicle class, police clearance, and for the vehicle: registration, revenue licence, fitness certificate and insurance covering hire and reward. Private cover is refused. See driver onboarding.

Why was my application refused?
Most often: insurance that does not cover hire and reward, a licence class that does not match the vehicle, an expired revenue licence, or a document photographed too poorly to read. We tell you which, and you can resubmit.
