Today we have booked a cab from rttc gachibowli to sainikpuri (Hyderabad) - name of the driver is krishniah - vehicle number is ts06 ua8050 and crn is[protected] —

He has picked us and started the journey and after reaching inorbit mall, he denied to take us to the destination.

We had no option and asked him to drop back where he has picked us up.

— an amount os rs 121 is charged for this - this has to be returned.
— i am going to lodge the complaint in consumer court against ola if i don't get response before evening today.

Need an apology from the driver too.

Hi ola,
Yesterday 22.05 i booked one cab, well in advance for a ride at 21:15 on the same date, and got a confirmation vide confirmation # crn[protected], and it was written in a positive note that, ola will look forward to have me on board, and till then it was a good experience. The actual motto of ola business was getting still unclear, once i receive another sms an hour before the pickup time means on 20:15, that 15 minutes before the pickup time, driver details will be shared "subject to availability". Though i started synchronizing myself with the way ola thinks, but on other hand, started removing the negative part of my mind, and telling my own that... The last line of the sms may be a common one which they used to sent, but since they are professional peoples, they'll sent the cab for sure... And ola proved, it was a great blunder made by me, cause only 10 minutes before the pickup time, i received another sms, that sorry, no cab is available nearby, plz check ola app after sometime. Now the entire saga of dirty business was clear in front of me, in a moment. The booking was cancelled, because, ola want me to book cab with a higher price. Soon after the sms, i checked in ola app, another app was showing (Ola mini) nearby only 3 minutes away, but in order to avail that, i got to pay 1.5 times more. On calling ola customer support, one non helpful gentleman was on the other side, i don't blame mr. Babu k., may be he was trained in that way by his employer to communicate with their customers, he informed that the booking was cancelled, and i need to book another cab, and he ended with the info that for professional reason, he'll disconnect the call. Means ola has every right to take booking, and in time of giving service, they'll search for the ways to make sure their wallet be full, throwing off customer requirements. Thus the services deprived by ola, with a clear message

1. When you have some requirement, don't book ola, as no chances are there, ola will come and pick you up, because, instead of giving any service, ola is more keen on making flying money.
2. Whenever you got to catch a train/flight, don't book an ola for the same reason.
3. When there is some urgency, don't book ola once again for the same reason.
4. If you are extremely obliged to book ola anyway, make an alternative requirement too, because ola will able to give service only when you book with 1.5x, 1.9x, 2.5x.

In a single sentence, ola will unable to provide service, thus there is no meaning of booking ola, thus i demand the ola money which is there in my wallet (Probably rs. 888/-) to refund it back to me, as i'm not interested to block my hard earned money with you, as you're not able to give service, i'll feel very insecure to book your cab once again. Hope this time of refunding process i don't need to call your service a 'pathetic one' once again.

I had booked a cab using ola at around may 1 9:35pm the driver cancelled my trip without asking me. Also he did not know the location i was at which is one of the landmarks of the city. This is highly frown worthy. Today also i booked an auto and the driver refused to come and cancelled the trip. This is highly unprofessional and harassed the consumers.

Hi,
I travelled through ola micro. They state the it is rs6/km. From the below price i paid like rs.17/km. I believe its just name is different between mini and micro but fare is all same and ola is misguiding consumers regarding their fares. There is no change between mini and micro ola services.

Base fare ₹40.0
Rate for 3.38 km: ₹20.28
Free ride time (0 min) ₹0.0
Ride time charge for 7.13 min: ₹7.13
Total tax ₹3.9

I was guaranteed a pick up at bidya bharati girls high school by buddhadeb (Cab no.2882) after it showed that the cab was here, i tried calling but there was no response. Suddenly, 20 minutes later i found that the ride had ended and i had been sent a receipt of 114 rupees which i did not pay.

So, it is either a system malfunction or some fraudulent behaviour on the drivers part. Kindly check this.

Here are your ola share details for osn59438173. Fare: rs. 268 driver: rahul pandey ([protected]) cab number: mh02cr3713 helpline:[protected]. Request you to be on time.
This was confirmed at 3:35pm.
And i waited for the cab till 4:10 pm and had to cancel for long waiting hours.
Reason that the driver gave was that his tyre got puncture and it took him 45min to reach at j&j office, opp mahim station from a car service centre just opp mahim station.
Please take an immediate action against the driver as he should have a courtesy to directly inform the customer if he is not willing to come on time.

Because of your cab service i have to suffer a lot. I reached late at my work place because of that i have to listen to my boss and even i have lost my half day salary.

Dear sir,

As per the below invoice for the above ride the payment was deducted from my ola wallet. Whereas i paid cash to the driver for the ride too. I want my amount to be remitted to my ola wallet. This was amongst my first experience in ola and do not want to be disappointed.

Apart from this many of the drivers were not knowing the location.

Please do the needful and hope to get your support for the above.

Thanks & regards,

I booked a cab yesterday and i received a message that the driver has arrived. I was right at my doorstep and noticed that my cab was not there. I tried calling him. The first time, he did not answer. The next time i called him, his cell phone was switched off. The driver never arrived at the spot to pick us up. But i have got an email that he has completed the ride. Kindly enquire. We waited a whole 20 minutes and then booked another cab. It was inconvenient.

I took a raid from hyd aiport to secubderabad. The ride was fine but i paid the airport parking/toll charges of rs.130/- in cash to the cab driver at the time of exit from airport. Seeing us in hurry of getting down the cab driver had again charged the airport toll/parking tax in the bill and finally charged a amount of rs.706/- which is supposed to be 576/-.

Crn[protected] for your reference pls.

Request refund my amount of rs.130/-.

Awaiting for your reply.

Thank u.

I booked an ola auto on 21st may, 2016. The auto driver who accepted the request refused to come to the pick up point after knowing the destination. He used very unethical and insulting language such as 'main jungle mein nahin jaunga', meaning to say the the destination i provided was a 'jungle'. He further threatened me that if i do not cancel the ride he would start the ride from his ola device. He was screaming like a hooligan. I had to cancel the request as i needed to get to my destination at the earliest. This kind of rude, unethical behavior is absolutely uncalled for. I was shocked to see his audacity of threatening me to start the ride from his device!!
Ola should has to compensate for this incident.

Ola introduced cheer day promotional offer in bangalore, from 4 pm to 7 pm on 21st may 2016 and i got a confirmation status from the driver, but the driver called and told us that he is in banaswadi when the app showed him near indiranagar and told us to cancel the ride upon cancelling we are not able to avail the offer again, and this is a ploy adopted by all drivers to fool customers and ola should take strict action against them.

Hi team,

I would like to report a misdemeanor on the part of the cab driver and ask for compensation for the same from the company. It is due to the callous and irresponsible attitude of the driver that i had to go through the trauma of not being on time for the frm exam conducted by garp which was held at the indian institute of aeronautical engineering and information technology at shivane, pune today at 8 am. The cab driver simply refused to take me to the spot and stopped in between saying that he had a night shift and that it was too far off. I pleaded with him explaining the case that i had an exam to take for which i had paid rs 46000. But he did not listen.In the ensuing argument and the search for another taxi i lost valuable time and the chance to take the exam. I urge you to respond to this mail and provide a suitable compensation for my missed exam. If there is no suitable response i am prepared to take this up in the consumer court as i have gathered all the evidence

Regards,
Harish

HI I booked a cab at the middle it got breakdown with improper maintenance of cab, but ola hired the vehicle with improper maintenance cabs & charged for half way, later again i went with another cab which costs double to me & mean while in the cab my parents who a re not educated & not known bangalore roads suffered in the middle of road. Please give clear instruction incase service breakdown that will be the beared by OLA not by customer

I had booked ola sedan for journey to jaipur station vide booking id CRN[protected] but it is sorry state of affairs to inform u that at the last moment driver of cab mr. Babloo kumar refused to take ride stating that he can not pick up more than four person whereas the fact id that we were four adults and two small kids who cannot be spared. Moreover ur company has no any display at the time of booking how many people are allowed. Hence this indescent behave of cab driver has created undue harassment to my family in catching schrduled train. You must assure in future nosuch embezzlement recurr to any cudtomer othrrwise we have to lodge grave complaint to the ministry level for taking suitable action against your company. Thanks

It is causing extreme harassment as my landlines number is receiving UNAUTHORIZED AND UNWANTED CALLS AT MIDNIGHT, and day time by drivers from various locations. We have never booked any cabs or given the landline MTNL number to anyone. Despite request the drivers are misbehaving instead of sorry. I'm am a senior citizen who is disturbed by this seriously. Kindly take immediate action or I would have to file a POLICE COMPLAINT.

Today i booked a cab. After i received the information about the driver, i called him up. He said he is coming but it will take some time after waiting for 15 min i called him up again he said i am not coming. But i got a msg regarding the amount to be paid to him which was 69. I booked a cab again he didn't even pick my call and i received a text regarding its bill of 114. I didn't use a taxi and got their bills. And what kind of service is this. I was waiting for the cab and they didn't come? I was in the hospital i had an urgent piece of work to be done but such responsible cab drivers. None of them came. Highly disappointed. Never expected this.

Dear madam / sir,

I regret to inform you the incident had with 10 days ago at delhi on 10th may, 2016, opposite metro hospital, sector 11 noida left me catch my international flight at the very last moment.

The summery of incident are as follows,

1. Used ola cabs application to book my cab from metro hospital to terminal t3, igi airport around 20.00 hrs.

2. Got confirmation on my mobile no. +91-[protected] with contact details of cab driver mr mithun jha having mobile no. +91-[protected].

3. I called mr. Mithun jha at once soon after getting his contact and he assured men that he would take only 15 minutes to reach my destination to fetch me up to drop men to scheduled location.

4. I waited 30 minutes, i did not get any call so i called him again and the persons had not responded by calls, even after trying the mobile phone repeatedly, the following persons has switched off his mobile.

5. At last moment, i had to take help by my friends to catch my flight at last moment.

Please look into this matter seriously and inform me about the action the company has taken against such persons.

Thanking you,

Ashutosh mishra

Rajdeep vila, opposite metro hospital,

Sector 11, noida.

Companies like both ola and uber charge extra when pick up is at airport.

Howwever in hyderabad, even if you try to hail cab 10km away from airport they conveniently charge the extra charges plus the toll/parking fee without even entering the airport and conveniently pocketing the amount. What are they charging without even having incurred the toll or parking fee. Strict action should be take against such fraud by these companies.

And the details mentioned on their site is extra charges only when at airport and not in the vicinity. Is it a crime to live in the vicinity of aiport then. Also ola doesn't inform about this at the time of booking itself that this is considered airport and consumer then get into fight with the driver and customer care but to no avail.

I had booked an ola share cab on 20th may, 2016 but i did not avail it as i could not contact the driver. But the amount of rs 100 was deducted from my ola account inspite of not availing the cab. This is the second time ola money is deducted from my account without even taking the cab. I will now think twice before adding any money into my ola account.
