Cab Booking Complaint
Cab aggregator complaints often involve fare overcharging, unexplained cancellation fees, or driver misconduct/safety concerns. Both the app's safety team and consumer forums can be used depending on severity.
What Is It
A complaint against a cab aggregator (Ola, Uber, Rapido, etc.) for fare disputes, unjust cancellation charges, safety incidents, or driver misconduct.
When To Use It
Use this when you were charged more than the quoted fare, faced a safety incident, or the app's own support fails to address a legitimate dispute.
Step-by-Step Process
- 1Raise the issue in-app immediately after the ride, citing the trip ID and fare discrepancy or incident details.
- 2For safety incidents, use the app's SOS/safety reporting feature and also consider contacting local police.
- 3If the app doesn't resolve a fare dispute, file a complaint on the National Consumer Helpline (1915).
- 4Save screenshots of the quoted fare vs charged fare as evidence.
- 5Escalate to the Consumer Commission for significant financial disputes.
Documents Required
- Trip ID/ride receipt
- Screenshot of quoted fare vs charged fare
- Payment proof
- Any recording/photo of the incident (if applicable)
Fees
Free on both the app's support and the National Consumer Helpline.
Processing Time
App-level fare disputes are usually resolved within 3–7 days; escalated cases take 7–15 days.
Important Tips
- Always screenshot the fare estimate before starting the ride so you have proof of the quoted amount.
- Report safety concerns immediately using the in-app SOS button, which shares your live location.
- Rate and review your ride honestly — it helps flag repeat-offender drivers for other users.
