Ola Cabs / ANI Technologies Complaints & Reviews

I booked an ola outstation cab on march 11, 2018 at 9:30 am from pune to lohagad. It was showing rs. 2990 as expected fare for a 24-hour return trip.

I completed my trip at 12:59 pm the next day (March 12). So, from 9:30 am, march 11 to 12:59 pm, march 12, the total number of hours were 27.5. We exceeded 3.5 hours in our 24 hours package.

But ola charged us for two days (48hours), instead of charging just for the extra hours.

Instead of paying around rs. 2990, we paid rs5480 just for a 140km return trip. This extra money they charged me is just because of their hidden policy.

This is a fraud because they didn't mention this policy anywhere before booking or just after the booking the cab. If we were aware of this policy, we would have come back on time or booked it through any other service

I am victim of pathetic service by ola cab drivers & frustrating service/replies by their call center agents.

Incident one : 24th nov 2017

Below mail sent to ola call center

This is to bring to your notice for another worst & horrible experience faced by me today while booking ola-shuttle cab.

Arriving time of vehicle was 8:17 am as per booking and i reached the pick up place at 8:12 am but the vehicle didn’t arrive. I kept waiting till 8:45 am but didn’t see the vehicle. I call up atleast 5 times to the ola driver ([protected]) to check the status of vehicle but there was no response from the driver.in mean time i call up call center number ([protected]) also to complain about the driver but there was no response.

Why the vehicle didn’t reach the pick-up point as per the payment confirmation?

Why driver didn’t pick my call?

Why driver details are shared in sms confirmation if the driver don’t want to pick calls?

Why there was no response from call center number? Is this the way you treat your customers. There was no call back also.

Why still any action has not been taken against such pathetic driver?

What about the mental harassment given to me by such untrained & unprofessional driver?

Why my time was wasted if driver didn’t want to pick me up?

Why there is no proper service from ola-shuttle cabs to avoid such situations?

Want answer to all my questions else i will be forced to take some legal action.

Have attached all the driver details and sms details for your ready reference and action to be taken. Have also attached all my booking confirmations.

Arrange for my refund of 85 rs asap without any further reminders.

Incident two: 01st sep 2017

This is to bring to your notice for the worst & horrible experience faced by me on 01-sep-2017 while booking share ola cab. After my booking, driver took 20 minutes to confirm me the pickup. He kept me waiting as he was picking up someone one else from some other location. Later after 20-25 minutes driver refused to come to the actual location and told me to reach some other nearby location as he was not able to find my pickup location.

When i asked for the reason he suddenly confirmed that he has reached the location which he was lying.

After few minutes i got sms that my booking has been cancelled as the waiting time for pickup has expired. Refer the below screenshots for your ready reference.

When i call the driver to ask for the cancellation he refused to speak to me and was arrogant also. He said i can take any action and compliant to ola cab which he is not bothered at all.

Why driver fooled me and wasted my so much time if he don’t want me to pick up?

Why still any action has not been taken against such pathetic driver?

What about the mental harassment given to me by such untrained & unprofessional driver?

Want answer to all my questions else i will be forced to take some legal action.

Have attached all the driver details and sms details for your ready reference and action to be taken.

Reply from ola call center after repeated follow-ups:

It seems the money making and fool making business plan and trapping the people with lots of promises and milking candidate pockets. Ola cab drivers are highly irritating & unprofessional. Even after so many complaints, ola company is not bothered to improve their services and they don’t take any strict action against those pathetic drivers.

Request you to please check with ola and arrange for compensation towards mental and physical harassment caused.

Also i would require an apology from ola along with compensation for the mental harassment given to me.

Thanks & regards,

Driver dropped at wrong location and kept on asking for hard cash even we have ola money in account. It was so unsafe for my wife and baby as he dropped at wrong location. Pathetic service by ola and their call center support.

I called the driver also and he said “jo karna h kar le, jahan complaint karni h kar le”

Are you guys serious?

I have email them as well but no response received so far

Pathetic service by ola

Hii
Yesterday i had a bitter experience with ola cabs i booked a ola from dunlop bridge in kolkata and after several minutes of waiting in roads as i was busy to attend the meeting of my office i hurriedly booked a cab the driver was very rude at the beginning and said if i can cancell the trip later when i onboarded, not a single kms i passed he charged me rs 175 said i booked only this route.. I said i am supposed to go to park circuss to my office meeting.
He was so bad tempered that he talked with me said nothing can hamper if i mail. I said i will mail about that he said nothing will happen.
I had hardly rode 10 minutes rides i want refund of the amount.
Please resolve it as aerly as possible.

I (Bapi biswas) had booked ola on 9.03.18 from bangur institute of neuroscience, kolkata to sagar dutta hospital, kolkata. The driver did not come to the location which i said him over phone and he cancelled without coming there.
(Crn-[protected], driver name is mithalesh kumar).
I had to give the cancellation fee for the immature driver. I think ola company should take action for the bad driver and refund my money.

Dear sir,
Refer to above, regret to inform you that invoice raised against the said trip is not correct and charged exaggeratedly high from me. During booking it was shown riding charges is 11km/km + driver allowances rs.225 + taxes

But in invoice its is shown riding charges is rs.2275, although the rode km is 152 km only. Please refund the amount or explain the matter. How you reach the "ride fares". Moreover during booking you never show the "night allowance" then why have charged it unethically.

A prompt response against above will be highly appreciated.

Thanks and regards,
T jana

So pathetic services from ola i have been using ola auto from quit long time every day and i have not cancelled any multiple rides in a day and not received any text regarding cancellation and customer query executives told account is blocked due to violations of ola policy.

Our family members use ola cabs regularly mostly between dlf and uttarahally main road areas

We book ola cabs through our mobile phones. For the past six months, whenever we book ola cabs, we confirm our rides and wait for longer periods (More than their indicated timings). Finally without our knowledge or information the driver cancels our ride and we see a notification that we are charged rs. 50-00 for cancellation. This is ridiculous and illegal. This could be due to that drivers are not well oriented to roads, or their maps are not assisting etc., but the customer is victimised

I booked a indica white today for picking up my mom & wife from sumangali jewellers (Raja street) to hopes college. The bill cost is only 148rs but the driver claimed it as 180rs and got the payment and don't show the bill as well to my mom or wife while payment (Cash mode).

I tried to call him back and asked for the details but he didnot responds properly.

This is the worst app i’ve every used in life. Zero ratings for this app. This is tha third time i was charged with extra money. Our money doesn’t grows on trees. They take the money on the spot but just to refund the excess money they take 24-48 hours. I’m never going to use this # app ever again in my life. I want my money back or else there’ll be a complaint filed against ola with the consumer forum and this is a serious warning.

We booked an outstation ola cab on 3rd march 2018 from igi international airport delhi to meerut. The driver was very rude and misbehaved with us. He first threatened us to get down on the pretext that ola does not pay them well for bookings. Further he overcharged for state toll tax without providing the receipt near maharani bagh, new delhi. There again on confronting him, he started misbehaving and threatened to drop us on the road. Since it was very early hours of the day at around 5 am, we did not take the risk of leaving the taxi.
Further on dropping at meerut he again demanded rs 200 for airport toll tax for which he had no receipt and we had to pay to him. We went through mental torture throughout the journey due to his repeated misbehaviour and he also overcharged us rs 400. A complaint has also been lodged atola call centre and at the ola portal, however no action has been taken. The details of booking are:

We are looking for an appropriate action and demand a suitable compensation for the mental torture and overcharging by ola cabs.

I tried to transfer 4000 rs from ola money to my bank account.. Its got deducted from ola money but not transferred to bank account.. Next when i am calling them they just ignoring my call.. I can easily understand they just pick the call and cut the call. I dont understand what they are doing.. Being a regular customer of ola this is disappointing.

In our area, nishatganj 1 lane twice this incident has happend. Cab drivers move blindly there never take card about things around them.in january in the last week may be on24th a cab at about 10:00-11:00 pm came an area. There were 4 puppy in our locality (Street dogs) but everyone treated them as pet dog. The cab moved one of them (Black) and without giving the pup an immediate care the driver left. The pup died everyone complained about this incident and everyone was sad too. But we did'nt took any strict action and thought this was the first time. But today (04/03/17), again this happend at about 7:30pm. He climbed over a pup and after hurting him he ran away. This blind and heartless attitude is shamefull. If it dies then we have to stict actions.
I hope you will take this case sympathetically.

I was on my bike last night where this ola driver was taking a u turn. This incident happened at tardeo - mumbai. This driver was drinking in the car where in suddenly he takes a u turn without giving a signal i would have been killed. Literally the way he was driving without his senses. When i told him what are u upto he ran away from there. I have raised this as a complaint to the police also marked a mail to bhavish aggarwal the ceo of ola. This will not be tolerated. You cannot risk a person life just because you are driving some company car and think nothing can happen to you. Have attached the picture of the car. The number of the car is mh-02-cr-9947. This incident took place last night around 11:15pm near tardeo - mumbai.

I booked auto today as cab waiting time was above 25mins after my ride ola money automatic got deducted from my ola balance. But ola driver ask me for cash payment. I refused as it already got deducted.. He started abusing me and started calling all people around saying i am not paying his money. He was too loud and aggressive and when he saw me not giving him reply he spit on me. It's a request please take strict action against him. Crn no [protected]. Driver name. Senthil kumar m. I feel sorry for myself for not being bold enough to give him tight slap.
