Frequently asked questions
Can I pay with TWINT?
Yes. When you book, you choose TWINT or credit card; payment runs through the payment provider Stripe. On a computer you scan a QR code with the TWINT app, on your phone you switch straight to the app. Both cost the same: the payment fees are included in the service fee, there is no extra charge.
Can I cancel a booking?
Yes, at any time. If you cancel more than 5 hours before departure, the full fare is refunded; only the service fee is retained. Within 5 hours of departure, an additional 20% of the fare is retained. If the driver cancels the ride, you get a full refund including the service fee.
Are there women-only rides?
Yes. Female drivers can choose “Women-only” when posting a ride. Such a ride is marked “Women only” in the search results and can only be booked by members who have entered “Female” as their gender in their profile.
