ClearTrip Complaints & Reviews

I booked a ticket from Delhi to San Francisco and back on January 25, 2014 through the phones sales service of Clear trip. Prior to that I had seen the online cost of the same ticket (which was refundable). Cleartrip booking ID: [protected] The sale was made by Mr. Ramkishor Bharti at 21.30 hrs on Jan 25. I referred to the online cost and he offered me a cashback of Rs. 1000. He DID NOT inform me that he was booking a non-refundable ticket where even a date change was not possible, I have never ever booked such a non-refundable ticket. Since i was booking 1.5 months in advance, I obviously wanted a refundable ticket. Mr Bharti misled me by hiding this information as the call records will show. Later, when i wanted a rerouting, i was told that this ticket is of the most restrictive variety where even the date cannot be changed. This is a clear case of fraud and misleading the customer.

Your customer service person called me up and sent me the payment link. On paying the amount I received Transaction successful message(attached). Here is my trip id [protected] trip id [protected] tripid2. The amount is already debited. On enquiry i was told the booking is not confirmed. I have NO MONEY to Book again. I have to travel on an emergency. You cannot block customer money for 4 days.!! Your customer service team have no answer except saying payment will come in 3-4 working days'/ Either you should give the Ticket or repay instantly. Please help me book my ticket at the earliest.

Cant help posting, ‪#‎cleartrip‬, one of the worst ever!!! dont ever book here.. 1. I made an erroneous booking(name was wrongly typed) through their app on 23rd(Friday) and instantly realised it(in a min) and called their Customer Support. they refused to help and asked me to cancel and rebook. 2. I the called the airline (indigo) directly and they were extremely helpful. understanding the genuinity of my issue, they refunded the entire amount back to cleartrip on friday itself. 3. i called cleartrip to convey this. I asked for a tracking id/sms. they said they dont have provision for a call id and that they will update their notes(on 23rd). they assured me entire amount will be refunded. 4. On Saturday I get an email from cleartrip with refund initiation that the money is being refunded after deducting cancellation and cleartrip charges 5. I call them on Saturday to check this and they have no clue what i am talking about, i ask them to check how much money they have received from Indigo and they are not able to find. Later after I tell them, they agree they received full amount, they assure me they will refund rest by 3 days. Again, I ask for sms/email/call id. buhaha, they have NONE! 6. I am trying to call them since last 2 days and the message that I get to hear is ' We are facing high call volumes at this time. we apologise to keep you waiting'.. These guys are crazy!! Why the hell are they even running this company if they cant handle simple flight cancellations, that too, when I have done all the issue resolution part from my end... even after all is settled, they wont refund me my money!! never again will i want to book through an aggregator, , thanks to cleartrip!!!

Don't ever book with cleartrip. it is a fraud company. If any cancellation done by ( even if it is not by you ), To get the refund you need to call them for months and they will keep pushing you. They are only after your money. Once they gets it, they don't give a damn.. Cleartrip.com is a cheat and fraud company.. Ask them what happened to my booking [protected] They swindle my Rs. 23, 443 And keep avoiding and making all the promises and never fulfill. They keep asking me to call back tomorrow, after 12, after 2, after 4 and promise me they will call me and TOO MANY PROMISES.. Not even once they called me or reply to my mails.. Please do not use cleartrip.com Unless you have lots of money to drain into to the toilet..

When I asked a cleartrip customer service staff about their train cancellation policy, he told me that cleartrip will charge me "25% of the base fare + total taxes and fees" if I cancel my booked train ticket LESS THAN 24 hours and UPTO 4 hours before departure. I cancelled my train ticket 27 hours before, but I found out that cleartrip charged me "25% of the base fare + total taxes and fees" as a cancellation charge. I asked the staff why cleartrip charged me "25% of the base fare + total taxes and fees" even though I cancelled my ticket 27 hours before the train departure time. He gave me amazing answer. The last information he gave me about train cancellation policy was his oversight and forget about his last answer. Now he says very different that cleartrip charges me "25% of the base fare + total taxes and fees" if I cancel my ticket BETWEEN 48 hours AND 6 hours. How I can forget his last answer!?????? BECAUSE OF HIS WRONG INFORMATION, I lost money. Very [censored] customer service. THIEF! I gave up replying to him because I don't have any hope to get back my lost money.

Clearly clear trip is the worst experience I ever had. I had booked a hotel 2 weeks in advance with payment. I called cleartrip twice to double check if the hotel is confirmed. Cleartrip confirmed by booking with full confidence. When I reached the hotel at 9PM, I learnt that there was no booking made by cleartrip. I along with my family were stranded in a remote place at night. It was he heavily raining. No transports available. :( For 2 hours I tried calling the cleartrip customer care with no luck. I was put on hold many times with no response. I spoke with almost 10 customer care executives. Nobody responded properly. Most of the times I was put on hold. Till date I haven't received any refund or response from cleartrip. That night was our worst nightmare. I will suggest every online user not to book hotels from cleartrip. I will spread this message in as many forums as possible. For the trauma that has been caused to me and my family, I will sue the company in a consumer court. Overall : cleartrip is a disaster

I booked a Indian Airline Ticket for Delhi - Udaipur flight, the airline preponed the flight and I have to Cancel it . I Contacted airlines and they told me that they would have refunded full money to the Cleartrip as it is there policy that in case the Schedule is changed by more than one hour they will refund the full amount. Cleartrip refunded me only 2000 rs or no fault of mine . Don't book anything with Cleartrip they are just robbing people of their money Trip ID [protected]

Hi I booked a flight from Delhi to udaipur, which they rescheduled. That was not suitable to me, hence I asked for cancellation. I booked new flight and went with the same, as they promised me to send the refund. Now after 2 monts, they transferred 10% of that money in my account. Now, they are not willing to give my rest of the amount. Pathetic service, real bad, literally theives. Can anyone suggest how can I take my money back from theese guys? Subhash

Trip ID: [protected] Flight got delayed for more than 1 hours hence cancelled the booking from Lucknow to Delhi.on 24th Nov-2014. After so many reminders and mails and phone calls refund has not passed and no concrete reply from cleartrip .After contact to Jet Airways they are saying that cleartrip has not raised the RAA for the refund ?? I have written to cleartrip from my registered mail ID 5 times . Clear trip has no escalation matrix, if one executive is not listening so no customer can go to higher up. NO OTHER MAIL ID IS GIVEN NOR ANY OTHER HIGHER UP NO and If you speak to phone no[protected] you must wait for 30 minutes to listen your query. Dhirendra [protected]

Trip ID [protected] Kindly note the following:- We have booked a return ticket to Mumbai from Bengaluru for me and my wife, which happened to be spicejet flights. Spicejet on its own had canceleed my flight to Mumbai. As per IATA convention, it is our prerogative to accept change of flights once my flight is cancelled. Once my forward flight is cancelled, there can not be a return flight. Hence we spoke to your customer support (Ms.NIHARIKA) explained the situation and asked for the refund of tickets money. Shocked to see you have deducted full deduction charges, your service charges and convienient charges.

Hi, I booked two rooms (ids in the subject) in purple resort pondicherry for dec 27, 28. We had to reschedule the dates due to an emergency and wanted to cancel the tickets. the company policy said that these tickets would be non refundable, hence we called the customer care to confirm. The customer care executive told us that it could be refunded only 300 would be charged. As each room is 3800, hence 7600 for two rooms, we cancelled the ticket. when we called to re-confirm she said it is non refundable, we cant get the money back. We are very very upset with cleartrip and this customer service. we called the hotel and the hotel said that this room could be cancelled, i dont understand where the gap is. Please help in resolving this issue for us so that we could use this platform for future trips. Thanks.

I had booked a jet airways ticket from chennai to mumbai for 8th Dec 2014 trip using clear trip site. Subsequently I rescheduled trip to 10th Dec changing flight to Spice jet paying difference amount of 3020. But 5th Dec 2014 I got a SMS from spice jet saying chennai to mumbai trip has been cancelled and full refund will be made for this cancellation. Later I called cleartrip executive and told about this flight status and requested to make alternate arrangement. Said executive confirmed that alternative arrangement would be made with in a day. But 2 days there was not any intimation and hence I cancelled spicejet ticket yesterday and booked new ticket in Indigo airlines for 10th paying full amount through my credit card. Later I cancelled Spicejet ticket and observed that only Rs.562 /- was refunded. When I saw in Spicejet site, it is clearly specified that as per Ref No.[protected] Rs 6087/- was refunded to Agent BOMCL23479. When I brought this to cleartip agents notice, no proper response was given. Since Spicejet has cancelled their trip due to their internal problem, cleartrip can not reduce the refund amount. Please help me. Regards, Nithyananda B Director - Technology Shriram Value Service Ltd., Chennai Mobile No. +[protected]

Trip ID: [protected]. I made a booking on 30th Oct 2014, reserving the room for 6th Dec 2014 to 7th Dec 2014 in Leela Grand Inn, Vijayawada. Reached the hotel at 9.30 pm, receptionist says "All travel guru and clear trip bookings are cancelled, we have informed them in advance". I didn't get any email or call or text from cleartrip or hotel. I tried calling clear trip four times, but couldn't get a live person to talk; after 5 minutes or so of 'music', the call drops. Ended up running around, without knowing the language, and after walking to 3 different hotels, found a place to lie down, which is about a km from the original hotel. Have receipt to prove it. 7th Dec is a muhoort day, I was in vijaywada to attend wedding, naturally hotels were full. Sent a mail in the night to cleartip and got auto response, promising a reply, but none has come yet. Yesterday (08/12/14) got through to clear trip, the lady rep listened, put me on hold, said she tried to contact the hotel but couldn't reach, and asked me to call again. After protests, she said clear trip will call back in 'some time'. Asked for a firm time line, and am promised 24 h. After 24 h, (09/12/14) I call again, another lady picks up, same story repeats, and she says they will 'definitely' get back in 24h. Thanks to android phone and auto call record, all these conversations are saved. And all I want is just a refund, we are not in the 'punitive damages, penalty, compensation for the mental harassment' etc. The word 'sorry' doesn't exist with the hotel reception, and you have to use an excavator to get that from cleartrip. 7th dec being a busy, muhoort, day, it is possible that the hotel took more than they can handle and bumped me. I don't want to find out how much blame goes to hotel and how much to cleartrip. The sheer incompetence exhibited subsequently is amazing. It may be a deliberate ploy on cleartrip's part to stall the refund. have been booking flights regularly through cleartrip, for the past 4 years. Clear trip probably 'gained' a little more than thousand rupees in this, and lost a loyal customer for ever.

Hello, Cleartrip Trip ID [protected] I made the subject trip ID booking yesterday night from clear trip IPAD app. While I have selected departure date of the flight from Mumbai to Delhi as 18th Dec, the final booking happened for 19th Dec. This seems to be because of some problem at your end. The same flight got booked but for a different date As proof of my version, I am attaching herewith screenshot of my IPAD app which I have taken after I saw the ticket. The App clearly shows that my only search was for 18th Dec departure date While the same was conveyed to Cleartrip customer care through an email and phone call, they have conveyed that as per their IT logs I selected 19th Dec. I have the screenshot of the app proof that the only search I ever made was for 18th Dec departure. This is fraudulent version of Cleartrip. Due to my requirement to travel, I have rescheduled my trip by paying the differential amount today which was Rs 2233. Also this has caused a lot of waste of time and unnecessary agony to me. I am expecting to be compensated against the loss Regards, Rakesh Kankanala
