💛 We try to keep things fair for everyone. Our drivers reserve time specifically for your booking, so cancellation timing matters.

01

Overview

This Refund Policy applies to all bookings made through Elegant Drivers via website, phone, WhatsApp, or mobile app.

We aim to provide quick resolutions and transparent refund handling for all eligible cancellations or payment-related issues.

02

Cancellation Rules

We understand that plans can change. Depending on when you cancel, different refund conditions may apply.

  • Cancellation before driver assignment: Full refund
  • Cancellation after driver assignment but before driver arrival: Partial cancellation fee may apply
  • Cancellation after driver arrival or trip start: Booking amount may become non-refundable
  • No-show by customer after driver waiting period: Booking treated as completed

Drivers may wait up to 15 minutes at the pickup point unless otherwise communicated by the customer.

03

Eligible Refunds

Refunds may be approved under the following situations:

  • Driver unavailable after confirmed booking
  • Duplicate payment charged accidentally
  • Technical payment error
  • Booking cancelled by Elegant Drivers
  • Service interruption caused directly by operational issues from our side
04

Non-Refundable Situations

Certain situations are not eligible for refunds due to operational costs already incurred.

  • Customer no-show after driver reaches pickup location
  • Incorrect pickup details shared by customer
  • Trip delay caused by customer unavailability
  • Cancellation after trip has already started
  • Toll, parking, or extra usage charges after service completion

Please note: Refund approval decisions are made after reviewing booking timelines, communication logs, and operational records.

05

Refund Processing Timeline

Once approved, refunds are usually processed within 5–7 business days depending on your bank or payment provider.

  • UPI refunds generally reflect faster
  • Card refunds may take additional banking time
  • Refunds are processed to the original payment source whenever possible
06

Failed or Pending Transactions

If your payment was deducted but the booking was not confirmed, don't worry — most banking reversals happen automatically within a few working days.

If the amount is not reversed within the expected timeframe, please contact our support team with payment details and transaction screenshots for faster assistance.
