Cancellation & Refund Policy
Last Updated On: 12 Dec, 2025
  • HiRide offers a quick and user-friendly cancellation process while balancing fairness for both riders and drivers.

    Riders can cancel their ride effortlessly by navigating to the “Your Rides” section within the HiRide app. The cancellation request is processed instantly, and all applicable charges or refunds are calculated automatically based on cancellation timing.

  • Cancellation Before 24 Hours of Scheduled Ride

    If the rider cancels the ride more than 24 hours before the scheduled pickup time, the rider will receive a full refund of the ride fare.

    No additional deductions will apply.

  • Cancellation After Confirmation but Before Pickup Time

    If the ride is cancelled after the driver has confirmed but before the scheduled pickup:

    • A nominal cancellation fee will be deducted,

    • The remaining fare (if any) will be refunded as applicable.

    This fee compensates drivers for time and opportunity costs.

  • Cancellation After Scheduled Pickup Time / No Show

    If the ride is cancelled after the scheduled pickup time has passed, or the rider fails to arrive:

    • The full ride fare shall be charged.

    • No refund will be issued.
