ClearTrip Complaints & Reviews

I had booked a flight from calicut to hyderabad on December 16th. However due to unfortune reasons, I had to cancel the ticket on the same day. The trip ID is [protected].
On cancellation, the company had mailed me a refund amount, which would be credited within few days from the date of cancellation.
Its been long that I haven't received any refund on this regard.
Kindly see to it and do the needful.
Thanks

I had tried to book ticket CCJ/DOH sector on 24th December 2016. Then the ticket was not successfully confirmed but the amount which was 1450 Qr was credited from my account.

After I got message from your side that the amount will be refund to my account with in 24 hours but still it is not refunded to my account.

Therefore please do needful action to refund the amount to my credit card

Cleartrip Staff

I am waiting till beginning of next week, if you fail to reply and refund my money, I will go to consumer court & lodge a case on you marking case copy to legal minister of India and PMO.
Before spoiling your name and fame, please do the needful and reverse the money debited to my account in failed transactions.
Please treat this as final warning and failing which I will ensure that every person in India knows about your services and irresponsible approach.

I am not getting a single reply from you. Whatis happening at your end Cleartrip???. Are you doing business like this??. If you have not received the payment from the bank clarify the same to me. I will communicate to the bank. Keeping quite will cost you. Hope you will reply immediately. I was not aware that Cleartrip is so inefficient and cheating people.

My trip ID is [protected]. I recently had a pathetic experience using the app..have lost out of Rs 8000 & spent countless hours trying to rectify the problem.

It all started when I tried to book through the cleartrip app that is "advertised" as being mobile friendly. The app was not optimized for my mobile screen size and when I tried to press the "Payment button", this button disappeared. After a few attempts..I was able to enter the payment mode however my tickets got booked with my name and an additional "ex ex TV" at the end of it.To add to it I had 3 sectors and 3 different flights.

While Indigo immediately changed my name, Cleartrip hummed and hawed about Vistara and Jetairways. Countless phonecalls to the call centre (out of 50 employees I spoke to 5 different ones: Tanushree, Shriraj Ankesh, Priyanka & their supervisor Payal Sharma with hardly any success). After one week they came back with the amazing info from their mysterious "backend team".. that the name change is simply not possible. Here were my options:

Vistara: allows for a full refund on the condition that I rebook on Vistara...where the same flight now costed 16, 000+
Jetairways: allows for a change in 3 characters exceeding which, this unrefundable ticket has to be cancelled..

Needless to say, horrendous customer service Cleartrip..they should refrain from advertising yourselves as being mobile friendly.

I had filled the train reservation form today around 2.15pm from CLEARTRIP, UP of kolkata rajdhani for 23rd december 2016. i have payed money by debit card. money has been deducted but the agency didn't give/sent ticket instead my money. this site/ agency is carrying the IRCTC logo but they are fraud. ATMSBI has been confirmed me by the message in my phone, exactly it is "Thank you for using your SBI Debit Card 459XX0071 for a purchase worth Rs 1699 on POS 99010027 at CLEARTRIP TRAVEL SERVICE txn#[protected]." now i want to back my money.

Made online booking on nov 30th, 2016 from cleartrip.com (Id: [protected]) for air tickets (Refundable) from delhi to lucknow (To & fro), and hotel. Air tickets received were of wrong dates (Jan'2017 instead of dec'2016), whereas hotel booking was ok. Immediately informed cleartrip about the error. Despite airlines keeping 6 hours for correcting booking errors free of charge, cleartrip didn't contact jet airways for corrections and deducted 75% of the airticket amount for ticket cancellation. I was refunded only rs 990 out of rs 4637 because of cleartrip mistake. Later, their customer care executive assured of compensation, but there has been no response. Follow up emails have been unanswered.

Kindly help in recovering full compensation of rs 4650 from cleartrip for ticket cancellation due to booking error, as delay in informing the airlines about change was from cleartrip's end. I had informed cleartrip about error within 30 minutes of booking tickets by email & call.

Email transcript, ticket & refund receipts are available.

Sir,
I had tried booking 3 round trip ticket from Pune to Bangalore on 6th Dec for my journey from 21st to 26th Dec. However tickets were not booked due to technical issues with the site and it was told that no amount will be deducted, however ticket amount Of INR 17226 has been deducted by bank and there's no refund even after 12 business days. No pnr or booking Id available.

Hi
I have made booking with cleartrip for 3 passengers with around 12K amount. And then paid another 3200 rupees directly to the airlines for rescheduling . I had to made partital cancellation for 2 passengers and airlines said whatever amount i paid for rescheduling they used for cancellation and rest of the amount they paid to cleartrip( 5808 rupees). But cleartrip refunded me only 1700 rupees. they are saying you have paid 8000 only to cleartrip for 2 passengers and 4450 is airlines cancellation charges. they are ignoring the fact that airlines has deducted some cancellation charges from the amount i directly paid to the airlines. thats y refund amount is 5808 ruppes to cleartrip. otherwise they should have received[protected]= 3550) from the airlines as refund not 5808 rupees. I have called them many times and seems like they dont want to understand or there staff is not capable enough. My Cleartrip Trip ID: [protected]

My Booking enquiry ID [protected] and [protected] dated 19th Dec. I have paid Rs500 for each booking so in total 1000Rs. Later since I got the confirmation directly from the place I wanted booking, I wanted to cancel the above booking enquiry made to cleartrip as on 19th Dec.

There is no cancellation link available online though they claim in their advertisements for hassle free transactions. I called up their help center number on 19th dec itself, to cancel the same. Call support representative Seema, first mentioned only 50% would be refunded. with some tiff and argument and placing my call on hold for number of times, she agreed that i'll get 100% refund after 48hrs. She agreed to send written confirmation on same but I have not received the same till to date.

I wanted full refund with apology letter for making me go through it.

Hi,

My cleartrip id is [protected]. Indigo airlines cancelled the flight from mumbai to chandigarh on 17th december 2016 due to operational reasons. I asked for full refund and natasha, a cleartrip executive told me i will receive full refund deducting the convenience fee of rs 375. I have now received an email from cleartrip where along with the convenience fee of rs 375 they have also deducted rs 900 againist wallet cashback. Why should this be deducted as it was not a discount offered to me in terms of cash return to my bank account it was a promotional offer where an amount was sent to cleartrip wallet and i have not even used the same. This is just not acceptable

Cleartrip i have booked roundtrip flight ticket through cleartrip for my dad.

Trip id is [protected].

Ticket states that booking is confirmed and payment made was rs.5809/-.

When my dad arrived at airport, he came to know that booking has not been done and he was forced to take a new ticket right away at higher cost.

Though ticket shows booking is confirmed, ticket was not confirmed.

When i talked to customer care they said sorry sir we will make you 100% refund.

I have some amount in my cleartrip wallet (wallet is a service by cleartrip where your refund amount you can store and use it for your next bookings), its from my cancellation of flight booking Trip ID : [protected], for last 6 months I'm trying to use that money but there is no single option given by cleartrip to select the amount and use, called the customer center many times but everytime they keep fooling around and always after sometime the call is disconnected without any materialisation, I guess they are cheating customers so they keep the customer engaged on call and disconnect, one calls them again thinking that it must have got disconnected by mistake but they keep on repeating the same ;I;m sure they have trained their customer care call center employees the trick of how to avoid the customers who have money in the cleartrip wallet.

I need a solution from cleartrip to rectify this at the earliest

I booked a Air Pegasus flight from Bangalore to Kochi through cleartrip.com. But the airline cancelled the flight. The booking was for August 13 2016. Not only I had to look for last minute travel arrangements cleartrip has failed to refund the money. I sent many mail to both cleartrip and Air pegasus asking to refund the money. Also spoke with their agents. Air pegasus says they have refunded the money on Aug 10th itself but cleartrip says they have not received the refund from Air Pegasus. I have lost the hope of gwetting the refund money now. Cleartrip agent said they can't help and asked to forget the money. Very bad experience with cleartrip. Since I booked through cleartrip I expected a refund from them.

Hello

I booked a flight from Delhi to Bengaluru, and I recieved a cash back for Rs.1151/- However, I am unable to use this money for my trasaction via clear trip. I assume this Cashback offer is used to fraud people as nothing related to the restrictions o[censored]sing this cashback was mention along with promotion of this offer.
I would appreciate if the concerned authorities take the necessary measures to solve this issue. Either let me use it for other activities or give an extension to Cash in my ClearTrip wallet. This is hard earned money and I hope you realise you have no right to just steal it from us by naming a Vality period expiration.

Hi,

I had initiated the booking for hotel and started the payment process online. During the booking, I had opted for the refund option of room for protection which says that if we pay 4% amount then we are eligible for 70 percent refund on cancellation.

The payment failed due to some bank network issues and the room was not booked. Later, I got a call from cleartrip that the payment can be made through the link sent over the mail by them. So I made the payment through the link and it was successful.

After this, they said that I am not eligible for the 70 percent refund as this payment has been done over the phone, even if I initiated the process online.

The refund is not done now

I booked my ticket through Clear Trip portal on 25th Nov and I had to catch Jet Airways flight 9W-302 at 9:45 AM from DEL to BOM on 10th Dec 2016.
I reached at the Airport at 8:40 at was in queue for checking in after waiting for so much time due to very slow movement of the queue and crowd I reached at the counter at 9:10 and the staff did not let me check in saying the flight is closed and they called out for Mumbai flight at 9:00 AM.
I was there in the queue since 8:40 and there was no call out by the staff. They behaved very rudely and cancelled my flight stating “No Show” instead of guiding me to the gate to board they cancelled our ticket while we had enough time to get board as it is written over the ticket that 25 min prior gates will be closed. I was still having 30-35 minutes to board. The lady at the counter wrote "09:13 RT" at my ticket which dont understand what is it. They said you can talk to your agent portal regarding the refund as I booked the ticket through “Clear Trip” portal and their customer care agent says they can’t process the refund as the ticket is cancelled by the airline mentioning “No show”.
I need urgent intervention on this with for refund as it was the mistake by Jet airways staff, there was no callout at all and I was there on time. They who can refund the money and loss.
We were 3 passengers and lost the total money.
PNR number – SUPKLW, ZRFSMR
