Ola Cabs / ANI Technologies Complaints & Reviews

To all cab users,
I would like to share my horrible experience with ola cabs. My bad experience would help other cab users to be aware that it is too risky to rely on ola cabs during early morning hours. The drivers either sleep after accepting the cab bookings or they are not aware of the bookings or they cancel the trip. Ola management can reach out to me if they want to disagree my statement. I have facts.

I have booked a taxi early morning at 4:30am through ola app on 28th sep. The taxi is supposed to reach my home at 4:30am but it did not and no communication from ola side. I had to wake up the driver at 4:30am and got to know from driver that i chose car pooling service but i did not. There is no message which indicates that the service i chose was car pooling.

I had to cancel the trip and book another cab thru ola app successfully with confirming the driver details. The driver requested me to cancel the trip as the distance between his place and my home is around 4.5 kms and he didn't want to honor the booking. I had to cancel again.

I tried booking another cab and did it successfully received the driver details as well. The driver didn't respond to my calls. I had to can this booking as well.

My question to ola management?
1. Are you providing only the app for booking and take no responsibility of honoring the bookings, do not care about customer satisfaction, quality of service?
2. Shouldn't there be a call to me when there was multiple cancellations to understand what went wrong?

I sincere request to the ola management is make the above points clear so that public won't rely on just apps rather they would like to a cab operator like meru (Reliable service).

Finally, to the readers and ola management i would like to inform you that uber came to my rescue on that day morning. I was able to get a cab and reached my destination on time. My appreciate the service o[censored]ber.

I have deleted ola app and i won't avail their service anymore.

The pain point is there are not many alternatives at 4:30am in the morning when you have a bus to catch. This is not my first bad experience with ola.

I am willing to share details with ola management if they wish to really look into this issue.

We were not able to reach driver on phone. His phone was coming switched off. No sms was received or message was received that ride has arrived. 15 min later after a fresh booking was made to go to the doctor the driver called to say he has arrived.

Please refund rs50 cancelation charge for the 2nd booking as we were left with no choice but to book a new ride to go to the doctor as the first driver was not available on phone nor any message received that ride has arrived.

Firstly i have been given to understand that 4 passengers can be accommodated in ola share, which was 3 earlier. Secondly today i travelled in wagon r which is a small vehicle, i booked for 2 passengers, however on boarding i realized there were 2 men already in the car, how can we be seated behind? It was squeezy and extremely uncomfortable. On calling the ola call centre, i am given a response that i should avail an mini or micro as in case of ola share this would be expected. I am quite surprised with this behavior from ola which i have not experienced in the last few months wherein i have been a regular ola customer. I need an understand the course of action which ola would be taking up as we cannot be made to sit in such uncomfortable way.

The charges cancelled for ola is not acceptable since driver not responded even after 10 mts, self didn't get confirmation massage. So self booked another taxi. Reason also mentioned in the cancelation request.

Not at all accepted.

If ola does like this again with out our concurrence we will take up to court.

I travelled today from Kengeri to bommanhalli Bangalore morning and I wasn't asked to pay any toll like 5 previous ola rides. Evening I came back from bommanhalli to Kengeri and I was asked to pay toll. The driver already asked for Rs 100 for toll saying that he'll give once my ola ride is over. However, when the ride was over, the driver said that toll is to be paid by me. He contacted a executive and gave the call to me.. the executive said as per ola rules, toll needs to be paid by you. I confirmed last 5 rides I wasn't asked to pay toll, but executive was irresponsible and just kept on saying that call the customer care no... I have not come across such a pathetic, disgusting and cheating services. If you want to do fraud, I think people like me will soon come up with these feedbacks showing your reality to the world. I WOULD AGAIN SAY ... OLA IS A CHEAT AND POVERT.

Driver was telling me that mam for 76 rs no one will come to drop you till ameerpet, its me who is droping you by accepting the trip. He told me that no one will come to your location for pickup, its me who took the pain of coming. Very rude abusive words used against we ladies. Rash in behaviour. Kindly check your drivers once you appoint them for their behaviour, literally he was like a rowdy. And the picture of driver which i can see in the app, and the one who came for pickup was totally different.

You can confirm this driver's behaviour with the copassenger travelling with us.

Driver was not well groomed, ac in the cab was not working properly, cab was not clean. Really a bad and worst experience.
I was late for my destination and no more cab was available in my area, so i had to board otherwise i would have cancelled the trip.

Hi,

Help me ...

Case 1:
Crn number: crn[protected]
I was booked ola on 20th sept 2016 from chennai airport to porur, but dont know how it is taken both pickup and drop location as same chennai airport. Due to this when i reached porur driver shown money came is 125 rs but in his app kilometer shows as 0 and he discussed with customer care and iinformed me due to your inappropriate selection of same place for both pick up and drop, the value shown in app is wrong and they insisted me to pay 260 rs for the cost of 125 rs. But usually i pay in the range of 120 to 160 rs only if they check my precious records.
Now a days ola doing cheating & 420 activities with the customer.

Case 2:
Crn number: crn[protected]
I was booked ola on 27th sep 2016 from guindy to porur, driver is reseted his kilometer to 0 (Zero), then i reached porur and the money in ola app is shown as 130 rs, but kilometer shown in app is 5 km amd the vehicle km shown as 7 km. As per ola for first five kilometer charge is 100rs whihc is fixed and for next every km it is 8 or 9 rs per km. If they calculated it is correct rs 130 (With taxes) as shown in the app. But driver volunteerly called customer care and informed them as km shown in app and vehicle meter is mismatching and kindly provide exact value for the current trip and they informed additional 30 rs need to pay and i paid rs 160.
Now a days ola doing cheating with the customer. (420 case need to be filed)

Case 3:
I was booked ola on 18th sept 2016 as pre-booking, but no driver called me before & after 15 minutes which was booked at early morning 6:00am. Due to urgency i have booked another ola at around 6:15 am and resumed the trip. Later when i reached destination i have received email as without intimation i was cancelled the ride and cancellation charge of 50rs need to be paid. This is ridiculous and robbery.

I have booked a trip from palam viahr - gurgaon to malviya nagar - new delhi.
Why the fare includes toll/ parking charges while there is no toll on the way.
I need an explanation.
Before i understand there was toll, but now there is nothing like that.
Why are you making extra changes on behalf of it?

I was in Banglore on 26th Sept 2016 and had booked Ola Rental 8/80 for a day from the airport (done by my son [protected]). Firstly taxi came quite late and then the driver refused to come to Dabaspet and from there to indian Institute of science. Ola supervisor at the Airport got another cab but it did not accept the Olarentals discount coupon and hence i lost almost 45 minutes. Finally Ola supervisor booked me a cab for a single ride to Dabaspet and told that I can get another ola cab from Dabaspet. I paid Rs. 1147 and reached Dabaspet at 11:37 am. i have taken a picture of the bill. I could not find any Ola from Dabaspet to go to Indian Institute of science and my whole day and program was scred up. The supervisor at airport mobile number is [protected].

It was a horrible experience with ola in banglore.

My name is puneeth and i reside near kr puram, bangalore. I booked a cab on 25th of sep 2016 at 6 pm and as i was waiting i could not hear anything from the cab driver. I tried to call the driver multiple times but was not able to reach. When i reopened the so call friendly app with ola i was shocked to see that my journey was in progress where i did not book the cab at all. I tried to call the support and was told to complain within the app which i did and that too multiple times.

After 24 hours i get an email (Remember not call) stating that they will take strict action the driver and the refund cannot be given. So, here the driver did not eat the money i did not get the money and god know how many such incidents happened when ola cabs managed to get atleast 80 rupees per customer. I would like to have my refund of 80+ rupees of whatever that was deducted for non usage of service.
