Ola Cabs / ANI Technologies Complaints & Reviews

Hello Team, I used an ola auto in chennai yesterday and the driver name was siva kumar and auto no was Tn 22 cc 0804.me and my cousin boarded the auto.since we were new to the city we were unable to locate the place where the driver asked us to come for boarding the auto.For that he insulted us and even went to the extend of calling us . I never expected such a behaviour from your staff. I hope you will consider this seriously and take appropriate action. Regards, Vineeth

My cab is attached with ola and this guy called me up to extend the offer for the last week to start on date tuesday/thurday or fridday. When I called up for follow to him, he was very unprofessional, rude and were not ready to disclose his PI and disconnected the line. He does not deserve to be on the position he is, this is not the way business should be running with Ola. He should be trained or should be moved to different back end work.

I booked an Ola mini cab for traveling a distance of 10.53 Km and according to Ola, I am supposed to pay Rs. 80.00 for the first 4 Km an then Rs.10.00 for ever kilometre after. Considering these charges including the tax I am supposed to pay for the above mentioned distance an approximate of Rs.150.00 In this case for the first time, I have been charged Rs. 34.00 extra in the form of ride time charges. Which is calculate at Rs. 1.00 for every minute of the journey where the first 5 minutes are free. I brought this to the notice of the Ola support team and all they wanted to tell me is how they charge. If this is the case, what is the difference between Ola which is a reputed taxi service provider and an independent auto driver who charges his customers as he pleases? It simply is not logical by a taxi operator to charge its customers on the basis of distance and time unless the time that is being charged is in the form of waiting charges. I humbly request the members of the forum to help me out with the same. It is not about the Rs.34.00 that I have paid Ola that irritates me, but the way they have taken the same. Justice needs to be served for people who use their service on a regular basis from this looting.

At 15/05/2015 i booked a OlA cab [CRN83070938 White Tata indigo WB 04 G 2736] from kolkata Apollo Hospital. Previously i am using their service from chennai from february 2015. I am 100% satisfied with their services. All the previous cab i used only for my brother who is a liver transplant patient & each n every time i used to say before starting that please took time but drive carefully & each n every time driver cooperate with us more than 100%. On 15th also i repeat the same, but driver is continuously driving without noticing the bumper & from 0 he is picking the speed to 50-60 km/hr. Again i ask him that we r not in hurry but please drive consciously, he replied i can't. I told him the situation in detail that my brother is a patient please consider the situation. Now he replied rudely that i cannot drive more with a patient, step down from my car right now & the attitude is very very very rude. I said I am using OLA cab on regular basis but never face this type of problem, then what is the difference between normal taxi with OLA? He replied in bengali "Ami kono OLA r tabedarite kaaj kori na..." I told him that i am not leaving anywhere though my brother is a post liver transplant patient & he cannot stand at pollution full roadside for another cab. He stop the car at roadside & stop the AC also. I asked him to start the AC & after behaving abnormally rude he started the AC but didnot start the cab. My brother with musk stepping down from the car saying enough is enough. At that time i call Ola cab customer care & while i describing the situation they handover the call to another person & line disconnect. Suddenly Mr. Bechu call OLA & saying over telephone twisting the situation & after some seconds he started the cab driving slowly & saying over telephone that see my speed sir... track my speed i am driving slowly but the party is blaming me. So lying he is over telephone. While i asked him that why r u lying, he again threat me that i cannot move any more you took another cab, my sister contentiously requesting him that please don't do that, please reach us at home[though we are bound with a post liver transplant patient[Liver transplant done at Apollo Chennai on 25thy of February 2015]]. After reaching destination I called OLA, in the mean time he using slang saying about us to the caretaker. Though he is behaving like a street boy & using slang i paid the amount but OLA told me that they are taking it as a complain & i will receive a mail with complaint number in my mail id. TILL NOW I DIDNOT RECIEVE ANY MAIL REGARDING THAT COMPLAIN. PLEASE DO TAKE A NEEDFUL ACTION WITH THAT DRIVER Mr. BECHU KHAN.

I raised a concern with regards to my travel last week. Reminders after reminders yet no reply from the support team. Is this the way you treat your customers?? And this isn't the first time, last month I had an issue with this cab services and they resolved it in 24 hours. And I was my fault to trust someone the second time. Deepthi K

Dear Team Very Good Morning I have booked the cab on 17/05/2015 morning at 9 AM. The driver came late and the car seat was shabby. When I asked the driver he said this is what can be done and started abusing me in front of my house. He was ruthless and challenged me to complain to any level. He used ruthless words and my family was embarrassed. This has lead to me in mental agony and deeply stressed, Confirmed CRN 83378660 for your reference. I don't know the name of the driver and would demand an apology letter from your side.

i ordered a cab from pune on 16/05/2015 from my mobile phone, but the agent who picked my call said he will not book any cabs for me as the quota was full for mobile bookings and I need to use my apps to book it. when i went to book one with the help of the app, the app also did not work.

I had booked a cab for my parents as they had to reach bus stand by 2240 hrs.but the stupid cab driver didn't come till 2235 hrs, when i called him he irresponsibly said that the tyre of his cab is punctured and he will be only be coming after it is fixed...i called at customer support, they offered to send me a new cab in 15 mins, however the departure time of BUS was only after 10 mins...with no options left i hired a local rikshaw and somehow my parents reached on time...OLA sucks.

the drivers won't even pick up the call. Look I have my grandparents who are in need of cab, how dare the drivers don't answer the call when the aged people call? Huh? And when we say the drop point those can't come they say book another driver and in last minute when we are in hurry how are we supposed to cancel ride and book another driver? Please look into it. You cant have degenerated drivers in your company.

Hello, This is to bring to your notice the situation happened when I traveled by the Ola cab on last Thursday in Bangalore. I booked a Ola cab for traveling from pick up point (Bageecha, 42/3, Airport to Whitefield Road, Marathahalli, Bengaluru, Karnataka) to my home (PURVA PARK APARTMENTS, Jeevanhalli, Cox Town, Bengaluru, Karnataka). The booking CRN is 82857538. When I got into the Cab, I asked the driver to start the meter. However, he told me that he already has started the meter when I was getting into the car. Ideally, the driver asks the passenger before starting the meter, which he did not. However, I believed the driver and traveled to my destination. When I reached my home and bill was generated, the amount to be paid was Rs. 286. Now, the maximum distance possible between the two aforesaid location is Max 13 Kms (attachment of the google maps given). However, the distance was recorded as 19.53 KM!! My traveled time was approx. 45 minutes. I tracked the time when the driver called me up (9:43 PM) (attachment given) when he reached the pick up spot and time when I reached my destination. However, travel time in the receipt was 55 minutes. Also, pick up time as per the invoice is 9:37 PM, which proved that driver started the meter even before picking me up. Moreover, the car waited in the traffic at very few locations. However, the waiting time as per the receipt was 15 minutes!! So, I should have paid the following amount: First 4 KM: Rs 80 Next 9 KM: 10 * 9 = Rs. 90 Travel time: (45 min - 5 min free ride) = 40 X 1 = Rs. 40 Total = Rs. 210 However, I ended up paying Rs 286. So, I hereby sincerely ask you to look into it and pay back the differential amount (Rs. 76). I and my acquaintances have a high respect for kind of the service Ola provides to its customers. Please ensure it does not get hurt because of incident like this. Please refer to 3 attachments for more info.

This is Barry Thomas from kolkata and I had booked a cab on the night of 12th May 2015...I booked an OLA CAB to pick me up from new Alipore kolkata. The driver SANJIT KUMAR VERMA driving a White Maruti Swift Dzire WB 11 C 5876 refused to pick me up after calling me up and saying that he will not come. My CRN82364906...I was later on given another cab after I yelled at customer service. I want a complaint registered against this driver as I had a small baby along with me at that part of the nite.

With reference to the captioned subject i would like to inform you that my few rides with #OLA were never been fruitful as per my wish, Herewith mentioned below few references codes 1) CRN81117306 2) KRN12935763 3) KRN 13139825 4) KRN13185261 I would like to explain in detail the hazel stories that took place recently 1) CRN81117306 : I had book this ride on 8th May (FRIDAY), 2015 @5.00AM & I got an instant confirmation from #OLA with driver details. I tried reaching him from 5.15AM, the driver informed me that he would reach my place within 10mins i, e 5.25AM. Again i tried reaching driver @5.30AM driver says he is having tea and would take 5mins to reach my place. I could not control my anger I repeatedly called driver from 5.35-5.45AM there were no response from him, As I was getting delay to the airport it was difficult to arrange an alternate. However, I was glad that immediately I could find an alternate from other services. I brought this issue to the customer care immediately. Till now there is no action taken against CRN81117306. I have stressed very much against this wherein I could say mentally disturbed and would like to file in consumer forum pertaining to CRN81117306. 2) KRN12935763: I had booked this ride on 12th May, 2015 (Tuesday) driver says he not closer to my place and he cancelled the drive. I request you to kindly educate/training the auto drivers properly. 3) KRN 13139825 : I had booked this ride on 13th May, 2015 (Wednesday) driver called me and asked me the dropping point and smartly says he is far away from my destination and he himself cancelled the ride without any proper communication. I ended up finding alternate services and reach my destination. I request you again to trainee them to perfection. As I believe “TIME IS MONEY” the pain is extracting too long, 4) KRN13185261: Finally fourth ride in a row, I booked this ride today i.e 14th May, 2015. The driver says he is very far from the location and however I yelled him saying why did you attend my ride? Then apologized and said however I would attend your ride. After few mins driver says his vehicle is in problem and could not attend in time. Overall the four drives lost trust with #OLA. ONLY PAIN AND NO GAIN Final conclusion, I demand an proper explanation to my quires raised and action taken immediately or within 24hrs. Failing which I will take an legal opinion and file case in consumer forum and an compensation should be certain. Do feel free to call me on +[protected].

This is Akhil(Mob:[protected]) writing from Bangalore. This is to inform you that last day(16th May) I had a very terrible experience with one of your OLA cab drivers . The driver was very rude, he was rude enough to abuse my female colleagues . The incident took place 9.18 p.m yesterday 15/5/2015. When we four o[censored]s thought to hire an OLA cab . Since female colleagues in my team was from Karnataka they talked the OLA cab driver for specifying our location and told him our pick up point.But the driver was so arrogant that he said he wont come to that place, instead he ask us to come to the place where he stands. we hired this guy and its his responsibility to pick us from the location mentioned. This indecent behavior of that driver made us to hire another cab. But that time this OLA cab driver called these girl back and started abusing them.That driver used un parliamentary words which no females can with stand. This behavior is totally unacceptable and we are planing to file a police complaint against the driver. Request you to take the adequate action against the driver. We had been using OLA cab for past few months, service which you guys are providing in Bangalore is highly appreciate. You have to look into the above mentioned case seriously, since these are the persons who are really damaging the brand name of OLA. Hope that this complaint will be treated properly. The details of the driver as follows : Gowresh N P KA 02 AB 7489 His Mob: [protected] Booking No.CRN83110834

White Santro HR 69 A 4282 to pick you up @ 5:37 AM, 10May. A different car came to pck me up I got a call from number stating that white color accent(sedan car..i dont remember which car exactly) is waiting at some location. I sat just only bcoz he was waiting for guy named Nishant(me). I want to bring this into notice that something bad might have happend and got very disappointed to what ola did. Take a action against this though i reached my destination safely. Car number that came to pick me up was different that was mentioned in message. I noticed the car type and number is different when i was in car. I saw car number on the front glass.

That day was auto strike in Banaglore .I had booked the cab one day prior and asked repeatedly if they are working incase the are supporting the strike. and they said we are working and cabs will be available on time . By 11 pm i called them up to ask about driver details .they sent me the message after that .Then the driver called us and enquired reg the pick up and Destination .(From Vignan Nagar to bangalore Cantonment). he said will confirm as it very far from his current location and asked us to check with Ola cabs . I repetaedly called Ola cabs ..but they didnt pick my call and keet sending me message that i have to contact driver . Bloody persons @ night 12 pm on an auto strike day where the hell would i get an alternate booking .I had provided the pick up and destination details while booking one day prior . Why didn't they see that . An alone girl at night 12 pm where do u people expect me to go and find a taxi .and in case u had to cancel it why did u do it at last moment in 30 mins i had my train .and they don't have a minimum responsibility of informing also that we are not able to provide the cab ...Nonsense till date i am calling those people till date but they dont pick the call rather keep sending me same message of contact the driver .. I want a legal action to be taken aginst these People .I have suffered like Hell .For the monetray loss and mentall harassment caused due to these people 's so called service .

Hi, I had a very bad experience from Ola cab service on last Monday, 11/05/2015. I have booked a cab for traveling from Singasandra to ITPL, bangalore. I have received confirmation SMS, even i called the driver for explaining the route. Finally he has come to the building, he had some confusion about the building. We had a conversation and I asked him to wait for 5 minutes, so that I can go and take my stuff. Later once I returned, the cab was not there. When I called he was not picking the call. Later I connected with him, his answer was rude, irresponsible. Simply was saying, he got another trip and if I have any complaint I can reach customer care. It was clear that he didnt want to travel to ITPL, because it happened with me before also. When i tried to reach customer care, no where its connecting. I was trying almost 1 hour and got connected to customer care. Mean time, I got alert saying trip completed and the amount got deducted from my OLA account. When I explained all these to the OLA customer, executive was not believing first. Later informed me saying money going to refunded and action going to be taken against the driver. Now its more than 24 hours, till now neither update nor money got refunded. The trip details are below, CRN82107972 Maruthi Swift dezire KA 06 C8884 Driver Name: Shiva Kumar P Pick up time was : 7:28 PM The money deducted was 153
