I booked an ola cab on Saturday (28th Feb 2015) and i was reminded by Ola cab driver named Sujit that if i use mobile app, I will be entitled for 50% discount on the total travelling charges. To my wonder, the cab driver who came for the pickup named Malaji said that there is no discount applicable to me. I would like that Ola cabs should apologise for the confusion and would demand immediate refund of 50% out of 190/- which was charged to me.

I booked a Ola mini cab for my senior who is 7 months pregnant, pick up from Idea Towers, richmond road to drop point near Harlur police station on 2nd March 2015 at 5:20pm as "Ride Now". CRN 64698352, Driver : MAHADEVA M ([protected]) was allotted whose call I got at 5:30pm. Three times I confirmed the pickup point with him and he confirmed that yes he does know the place. At around 6pm I got a call that he is standing at the gate of Office. My senior went to the gate and saw there was no cab. After confirming Driver said he missed the pick up point and has moved approx 50m from the actual point. Since it's a one way road he is unable to trace back so requested her to walk to the cab. It was fine till then but as she gets near to the given location by Driver, he would increase the distance. He made her walk approx 1 km in this condition in such heavy traffic. Issues: 1. Cab came late ... extremely late 2. Made a pregnant lady suffer by not coming to correct pick up point and refusing to rectify his mistake. Made her walk 1km unnecessarily 3. Despite of their fault, delay by Ola counted as waiting and extra charge taken for same 4. Din even receive bill invoice I want full refund. Along with written apology from Ola for the misbehaviour, mental & physical harassment that my senior suffered due to irresponsible attitude of Ola.

My earlier complaint of overcharging was dealt by Mr. Deepak stating that he is from Ola and ensured that uick money can be made. His cell no. is +[protected].He rings up asking for your Credit card number and CVV. Do not give any details. He reiterated that he will refund money and asks you to withdraw the complaint. Found out that a web site www. mobikwik.com is being run and he does all such things of cheating gullible people.

Booked the OLA service for the first time in Pune (Availing service from another provider (Wings) since 2012). On Sunday, March 1, 2015 I downloaded and configured the app then credited Rs1000 to OLA account. At approx 3:00PM I booked the cab from web site @9:45 PM pickup from my Home to airport also booked the same service back to home fro airport. @ 10:45 pickup from pune airport. And I HAVE BEEN SAID from OLA customer care that you will receive driver/car details 30 Minutes prior to pickup. Ironically, 30 minutes before pickup time i ma getting SMS that " Sorry, we regret, cannot find CAB right now near your area. Then I called customer care, they said we will arrange, bla bla bla, finally wasted my 20 minutes. Mean while i got the SMS & driver details. Called driver but no response. I again called customer care, that said " Driver is asking that you have cancelled booking" How pathetic, making fool of customer. After few minutes of conversation, i came to know this driver has been asked to come at airport, which was my destination for IST pickup. Then I enquired/scold to customer desk executive and he dropped the call. Meanwhile, i am getting another SMS from OLA regarding second pickup that " SORRY, WE REGRET, CANNOT GET CAB NEAR YOUR LOCATION." This is the service and response from yours. Call me on my cell [protected] or [protected], will give you complete details what happen from 9:30 PM to 10:40 PM) Thanks, Farokh Now, I have deleted OLA app, it was registered on Name : Razia Farokh Contact No:[protected]

On 28th Feb I used Ola App from my mobile number to book a cab for a drop on 1st March at 2.30pm to Railway Station ( from C V Raman Nagar to Bangalore Cantt) I got a confirmation No, . CRN 64052671 confirming my booking on 28th 1.52 pm On 1st March again I got a confirmation saying that a free upgrade has been given to me and the Driver is Name is Arun ([protected]) Silver Touota Etios KA 51 A 9262 will pick me at 2.30 pm on March. I did not get any call from the driver hence I had the confirmation from Ola I gave him a call at 2.30 (the pick-up time) to find where he had parked the vehicle. To my shock he told me that he tried to call me couple of times since I did not take the call he cancelled the trip. I had no time to argue with such person who is not honest as I did not get any call from him from the his mobile. I had to rush to the railway station to catch the train for Bihar as I brother who had an operation had to go back. It gave me a lots of mental stress and I am totally disappointed with the kind of work culture Ola and his drivers has. At 6.14 pam I got a message from OLA "we will try to connect you to the driver as soon as possible. But nothing happened How can we trust your serives Rosy Varghese - Mobile [protected]

Hi,

I had recharged my OLA Account with 500 INR using HDFC net banking on 19th Feb 2015.
Money was deducted from my account but I didnt get the recharge.

My multiple attempts to call and mail ola support went in vain.
They are just denying that they have not received the money.

I has called HDFC to verify and they have confirmed that money is deducted from my account and there is no fault from bank side.

Request OLA to refund my money ASAP.

Please find attached my HDFC bank attachment as reference

My friend used my referal code E6TW6J and took the ride. However I didnot receive any credit in my ola walletas per the company's policy. Also my friend booked cab for me yesterday. He used voucher for Rs.200 free ride. I took the ride and when the bill came it was Rs.222 but I had to pay Rs.120 extra, while I was supposed to pay nothing at all

CRN 63684639 Driver name - Salman ([protected]) Indica - MH04ES 8481 Driver misbehaved in cab and later constantly made inappropriate calls and sent messages from 4 different numbers - [protected], [protected], [protected], [protected] and harassed me for an hour. Made 4 calls to the call centre - spoke to 2 supervisors and no action was taken. Please check audio recording. This is disgusting and Ola's attitude to the issue is shocking - i will take this up and ensure there are strong consequences.

I have faced issue with my booking reference(CRN[protected]. The booking was done in advance for ride on today(10.Feb.2015) at 6:00 A.M for Pune Airport drop to catch the flight at 7:35 A.M.Cab arrived at 6:10 A.M and I have informed the driver to drop me at Pune airport. The distance from my pickup location(Pimple Saudagar) - Pune Airport is 19 K.M.Driver unnecessarily took me on the wrong route and roam for around 1.5 hours 52 K.M far to reach the airport. Due to that, I have missed my flight. I have raised the complaint by calling on customer care number and ask to refund my flight money.They have accepted their mistake but not taking issue that seriously and now they are not responding my mails and calls. They have suggested to send you the copy of the ticket and i have provided them all scan copy of my tickets. I have purchased new ticket of cost Rs.12, 197and amount paid to driver.

I booked a cab in Calcutta with the booking id CRN 23193458. Boarding location was HHI near exide, the have booked it for some HHI in College Street. I am not aware of any HHI there. I called up 300 minutes before after seeing my email and when I told them, they said sorry Sir " we cannot give you CAB. When I asked why? they asked me where you want to go. I told them Liluah (Howrah). He replied" Sorry Sir, our cabs do not go there." and he hung up. If that was the case, he should have told me earlier. It was night 11PM and I felt like being in the middle of nowhere. Extremely poor service by Ola.

Hi, I booked my ride with Ola on 25th Feb'15. I saw from the website that there is a 50% discount if I pay through Ola Money. So, I put Rs.1000 in Ola money (for the first time). On my travel, i didn't get a discount. On calling the customer care on 26th Feb'15 in morning, I was told it's a mistake from their end and I will get my money refunded. However, when it did not happen, on calling again I was told that since "There should be a positive balance in Ola Money AT THE TIME OF BOOKING' and since I booked at 2pm and deposited money at 2.05pm(took the cab at 3pm), I was not eligible for 50% discount. It is nowhere mentioned in their terms and conditions on their website as of 26th Feb'15 @6.45pm. (http://www.olacabs.com/chaloniklo). It's just mentioned "Offer is auto-applied and applicable only when you pay with Ola money." I felt cheated as they boast of being entirely transparent but are not. Very Bad on this part. Also, I did not get any prompt of promo code while booking my first ride to avail Rs.200 off.

I had booked a cab for a pickup from Podanur to Sowripalayam on 22-Feb-2015 @ 9:00 PM which was confirmed. The driver calls @ 8:40 PM and says he will come by but never reaches. I finally get a cancellation message @ 9:20 PM stating that no cabs are available in the area. The customer service person then gives be 45 mins for the cab to arrive which was unacceptable. It seems that Ola is nothing but a cheap immitation o[censored]ber and nothing else. It is completely a desi product with the "chalta hai" attitude. I wish to stay away from it and paralelly seeking legal options to stop such nonse service providers.

Ola cab services are very bad. I started using it only for the past 3-4 weeks but so far 3 times I came across cheating by way off waiting charges. Today we started on time and no waiting anywhere including signal. But when the invoice came it was Rs. 58 waiting charges for 29 minutes. I had to spend Rs. 20 for phone calls to explain the logic and reduce that waiting charges. The driver used bad words like saniyan etc. Same thing happened 3 weeks ago not only waiting charge of 34 minutes while the whole travel time was 49 minutes, instead of 15 to 16 kms the invoice showed 21.32 kms. I booked and got down in between after 9 minutes the travel ended by another co passenger and she paid Rs. 365. She thought we cheated her some how. As soon I got the invoice message I called the call centre but nothing could be done. Not only Ola cabs charges are cheap but also your service, behaviour of your staff and driver everything is cheap. You are all conducting a big daylight robbery. See there are many comments about the cheating by way of waiting charges by Ola cabs. Dr. Ganthimathi

I am sasmita. Booked a cab from Nanganallur to Sholinganallur on 25-Feb-15 @2:45 PM. I paid 530 rupees hence I got a message like i should pay 364 rupees. When I asked for clarification I got the reply like GPS problem, mobile got switched off and so on. If you actually calculate its 15 kms.so it comes around 320 rupees. I am very much unsatisfied with your service. I will not recommend anybody for this service..
