TAXELCO CANCELLATION POLICY

We aim to provide a fair deal for both passengers and drivers. For the service to work well for everyone, we rely on people keeping their promises.

When we assign a driver and vehicle to you, you have a right to expect that driver and vehicle to turn up, and when you call a driver and vehicle using the Téo App, any of our websites or our concierge service, the driver should expect that you will be at the pickup address.

Sometimes there are legitimate reasons for a cancellation, but if either party cancels without a fair reason, it is frustrating for the other person and we think it is reasonable for that behavior to be discouraged.

When a passenger cancels without good reason, we expect some small compensation to cover our expenses. For this reason, we have this cancellation policy.

If a driver and vehicle have not been confirmed, and you cancel, you will not be charged the cancellation fee.

If you cancel within 2 minutes of your driver and vehicle being confirmed, you will not be charged the cancellation fee.

If after 2 minutes of your driver and vehicle being confirmed you decide to cancel, we will let you know that you will be charged a cancellation fee of $5 should you choose to confirm your cancellation.

Our driver will wait for you at the point of pick-up for 3 minutes, before attempting to contact you. If you do not board the vehicle at the pickup location within 3 minutes of the driver and vehicle arriving, the driver will make contact with you using the information you provided to us and if you cancel or the driver is unable to contact you, the $5 cancellation fee will apply.

If you have not registered a card and incur a cancellation fee, we will require that you add a credit or debit card before you can reserve another driver and vehicle.

If you cancel after boarding the vehicle, you will be charged the amount appearing on the taxi meter once the driver can safely stop the vehicle to let you out.

THIS CANCELLATION POLICY IS DATED 31 DECEMBER, 2015.
