Refund & Cancellation Policy

Last updated: 1 June 2026 · Effective: 1 June 2026

We want every Rutur experience to be seamless. When something goes wrong with a charge, we make it right. This policy explains when cancellation fees apply, when refunds are issued and how to request one.

1. Cancellation by the rider

ScenarioFee
Cancelled within 2 minutes of bookingNo charge
Cancelled after 2 minutes, before driver dispatchedNo charge
Cancelled after driver has started heading to pickup₹20–₹50 (varies by city and ride type)
Rider no-show (driver waited 5+ minutes at pickup)₹30–₹60 (varies by city and ride type)

Cancellation fees compensate the driver for time and fuel already spent. These fees are shown in the app at the time of cancellation and are always transparent before you confirm.

2. Cancellation by the driver

If a driver cancels your confirmed ride after accepting it, you will not be charged any cancellation fee. A new driver will be found for you automatically. If no driver is available, you may cancel without charge. We track driver cancellation rates and high-frequency cancellations result in driver account review.

3. When you're eligible for a refund

  • You were charged for a trip that did not take place
  • You were charged the wrong amount (more than the confirmed fare)
  • A payment was processed twice for the same trip
  • You were charged a cancellation fee but the cancellation was initiated by the driver
  • You experienced a verified technical error causing an incorrect charge

4. Non-refundable situations

  • Trips completed as booked, even if you were unsatisfied with the experience
  • Cancellations made after the free cancellation window (unless driver-initiated)
  • No-show fees where the driver was confirmed to have arrived at the pickup location
  • Disputes raised more than 7 days after the trip date
  • Refund requests without sufficient information to investigate
