Terms & Conditions

Change, Cancellation, and No-Show Policy

If you cancel your reservation 4 hours in advance of your scheduled pickup date and time, there is no cancellation fee. Official Ride is not responsible for missed/canceled/ diverted passenger flights, or any other incident which causes your failure to comply with the required cancellation policy. If you do not inform us about any delays or cancellations and if we are unable to make any contact with the registered contact person even after waiting for 20 minutes from the scheduled pick-up time, then the ride will be deemed as a no-show and will be discarded. So, make sure that you are on time at the designated pick-up location or notify us regarding any change to your reservation, as it might result in a no- show charge, equal to the full fare of the trip plus all other charges.
