Cancel a ride

Cancelling, automatic card refunds, and what happens to cash payments.

Who:
Owners, admins, dispatchers and reservations agents (owners and admins for card-paid rides)

Cancel

  1. On Bookings, click Cancel next to the ride, or use the cancel button at the bottom of the ride's page.
  2. Confirm with Yes, cancel. If the ride has card payments, the question reads "Cancel and refund card payments?"

What happens

  • Card payments are refunded in full, automatically, through your Stripe account. The refund shows on the ride's Payments card.
  • Cash, check and bank transfer payments are not refunded automatically. Settle them with the customer yourself; the message after cancelling reminds you.
  • The customer is told by email.
  • The ride is locked: it can't be edited or assigned any more.

Good to know

  • A ride paid by card can only be cancelled by the owner or an admin, because it sends money back.
  • If Stripe refuses the refund, the ride is not cancelled and you see Stripe's reason. Nothing is half-done.
  • A ride that's already in progress can't be cancelled from the Bookings list.
  • For a standing order, you can cancel one ride or this and all later rides (Standing orders).
