We're sorry to hear that you're cancelling your booking, but we understand that sometimes these things happen. Before cancelling, please take a moment to review our Refunds and Cancellations Policy for more information.

To cancel your booking, simply click on the Login button at the top of our website. Once you're logged in, you'll be able to see your booking details. From there, click on the 'Cancel Booking' button and provide a reason for cancelling. Finally, click on the 'Confirm Cancellation' button to complete the process. If your cancellation is made more than 24 hours before your scheduled pick-up time, you'll receive a full refund.

We understand that people still need to get to their destination during these uncertain times. So, we are working with Taxi partners to help you get to your final destination safely. We have worked with our transport companies to figure out what best practice is in the transport industry in times like this to help ensure people are safe. To ensure a safe journey for you, fellow travellers, and those assisting you, we have compiled a list of COVID-19 prevention tips. These measures are aimed at preventing the spread of the virus.
