Complaint Against OLA cab booking service and overcharging money

Taxi Complaint Complaint Date: December 24, 2015

  • State :  Delhi
  • City :  Delhi
  • Address: 20, Sahyog Apartments Near M2K Cinema Pitampura

Dear Sir, This is in reference to my Booking ID TFS-AT-C44304915 from Airport T3 to Pitampura. The booking was made through OLA App dated 25.11.2015


The vehicle number was DL 01 RT 7967 and the name of the driver was Dheeraj Kumar.


The fare amounting to Rs.322 including service tax was charged from OLA Money, electronically. However, the driver insisted to pay him Rs.150.00 on account of service and parking charges which was never charged before ever. However, I preferred not to indulge in arguments and paid him Rs.150.00.


Please be informed that driver also picked me from the last lane where only private vehicles are allowed at arrival terminal of airport T3. The driver reached to the pickup point after making booking for taxi through OLA APP within 3-4 minutes. I had not booked the taxi 2-3 hours before that makes me liable for making me to pay parking and other service charges. Driver had also told me that he has just dropped a passenger at airport and shall reach to me in 5 minutes.


The message that I got from AM-TAXIFS also reads “Kindly pay the driver Rs.0.


I consider it as deficiency in service and overcharging.


I had registered a complaint with TAXIFORSURE on 25.11.15 itself and got a reply from them admitting that Rs.150/- was charged towards airport charges which is government charge.  I am a frequent traveler and I know that there is no such charge government has imposed.


I again had written an email on 27.11.2015 seeking clarification on the matter asking 3 questions:


1. I would like to know if the State Government of Delhi or the Central Government of India has started charging the said Airport Charge amounting Rs.150.00.


2. When the Airport Charge of Rs.150.00 was introduced?


3. Why this Governmental Airport Charge of Rs.150.00 was not included in the invoice and charged from Ola Money and why did Taxiforsure preferred to charge this Airport Charge in cash through driver?


Unfortunately, I did not get any reply though I had sent other emails on 01.12.15, 07.12.15 and 15.12.12 for resolution of my complaint.


I have all the emails exchanged with TAXIFORSURE readily available with me.


I would like you to take up the matter and do the needful for reimbursement of the amount so charged fraudulently.


Although the amount is small yet I can not allow charging me or any passenger by unfair means. I am sure and confident that you will do the needful at your end and provide me with an early resolution.


Thanks.

    Hi,

    I booked a cab for my guests on May 15, 2018 (reference no. CRN1835069208). I just realized on May 21, 2018 when we were casually discussing about something else that your driver collected a cash of Rs. 300 while the trip charge only Rs. 259 and that also was already deducted from my Ola Money account. I would have been okay if it had happened by mistake. But I don't think that was the case. I find this to be a fraudulent transaction because I was never told by Ola that this happened and my money was not reversed. Also the amount he demanded was more than the trip charge. All this with my guests who visited us from a different city! Imagine what my guests would have thought when I booked the cab and let them paid the money. This is an extremely unacceptable level of service from Ola. I request you to investigate this and take appropriate action immediately.

    I reported this to Ola on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and also through their support email address. I got the same response from all of them. The response is, after 72 hours from the time of transaction, they don’t entertain these complaints. Is it fair? Is it okay to cheat a customer if he doesn’t get to know about it for 72 hours? I would have appreciated if the response said that they would investigate it and let me know. The outright rejection of my complaint doesn’t go well with the reputation that Ola enjoys in the market. I would like to complain this to the highest level of Ola management as well as any consumer forum that can look into this issue and force them to change an extremely customer unfriendly policy of this kind.

    Thank you and look forward to your positive response.

    Regards,
    Bharathiraja R

    Rerouted..fare ₹802 rather than ₹521. While booking notification by janagiumanath:

    (5 of 5)

    From Chennai Alappakkam road to mugaper west journey booked ₹ 521. Notified to me..
    Driver took the route via Chennai outer ring road to mugaper west
    Rather than perungaluthur - Koyambedu by pass road ...
    Driver suggested that to avoid traffic delays and to avoid tollgate charges by consumer he selected this route and make additional ₹280 extra charge and extra time...
    Is it is right or not correct in accordance with the Ola cabs rules and regulations , sir please
