Refunds & Disputes

TaxiTap only charges a booking fee, paid by EFT. This page explains when we refund it and how to ask. Your fare is paid to the driver, not to TaxiTap.

When we refund the booking fee in full

  • You cancel 24 hours or more before your departure time.
  • We or the rank can't give you the seat you booked.
  • We cancel the route or travel date.

Payment mistakes

  • You paid twice or paid too much: we refund the extra amount.
  • You paid after your booking expired: we confirm a new booking for you if seats are still available, or refund your payment.
  • You used the wrong reference:send us your proof of payment and we'll match it to your booking.

When we don't refund

  • You cancel less than 24 hours before your departure time.
  • You don't come to the rank, or arrive after the time on your booking.
  • Someone else used your ticket because the link was shared.

In these cases the seat was held for you, so the booking fee isn't refunded.

Problems with your fare or the trip

Fares are set by the rank and paid to the driver, so TaxiTap can't refund them. If you have a problem with a fare, a driver or the trip, tell us and we'll raise it with the rank or taxi association.
