Dodgy - 2 years later they sicked dodgy debt collector on me for $20

published

So this morning I get a text that I only have $21.49 remaining with Ola Cabs. I ring and spoke to a rude man at eCollect who stated I owed this amount for a trip in 2018. I have heard nothing from the company this whole time. I vaguely remember stopping using them as my card was low and they then disallowed my card, instead of just waiting a day or two and trying to deduct the money again, or allowing me to pay with another card. So the app was unusable. And why wait two years to follow this up? How about you call me and resolve it immediately. What a disgusting company. Because of your crap app that doesn't work. Stick with Aussie companies. Keep your money in Australia. Def wont use Ola again now you can bet on that.

Dodgy company

published

They have problem with the app and useless support team. App wasn't giving me a trips for more than 1 week. I contact them so many times. At the end finally got a trip with them but in app wasn't paid. I contact support team and they told me that I didn't done that trip. After they told me that I will not be paid I stop to drive for them. What a dodgy people.

I use Ola to get to work and back. They are fast and friendly and have water and mints. I love the fact they play the music that you like.

Bad experience

published

I cant recommend ola service - never more. Confused, arrogant and their car arent under controls - I think safety. One time smell cigarettes inside car. One driver called me, where I am, when I ordered and waiting on him, I dont know why - drivers are from Lebanese (not willing), my experience - old cars and dont safety - never more.

Please do not ignore warnings. Do not use.

published

Speaking from experience, DO NOT USE Ola, especially if you are a young woman. I made a formal complaint with the company regarding a driver TOUCHING me, and they did next to nothing. I chased them for an update on the drivers case. PLEASE do not use this service. Please do not think saving a few dollars is worth it. BE careful. AVOID Ola. Think of safety FIRST.

Over charged. Very annoyed

published

I was recommended to use this instead of Uber apparently it was cheaper. I was charged $52 for a 21 minute drive with no traffic. I am honestly shocked. Can’t believe it ... very upset with this. I made a complaint on the app and none contacted me.

Final fare was more than the maximum fare quoted when booking. No response despite several attempts to contact them. Unnecessarily toll road route was also taken without consultation from the driver.

A rip off!!! Very disappointed.

published

Ola is a rip off! It is not the first time that I have problems with Ola. I tell myself it has been the last time I use Ola for sure. I took an Ola yesterday, they showed the fare around $53-58 and then I applied a 30% off so it was $42-48. My surprise: they charged me $59!!!! Can you explain me that??? Rip off...

Disappointed

published

I used Ola because it was a cheaper alternative to uber but when my friend used my referral code, once they had their first ride, I never received my $20 referral voucher that had said to be given when you refer someone. On top of that, I always made sure I had enough money in the bank account before I catch ola and the money goes out everytime but my account went negative twice after 2 ola transactions went out after being pending for a few days. I added up the total cost I took with ola and the total cost that was taken from my bank account overall and the total cost that was taken from my account was more than what it is meant to be. Very disappointed and won’t be using ola again.

False advertising: 1-Nowhere to apply a promo code when you book the ride.
2-Fare quoted $21-$28 but driver took long route and OLA charged me $60. I disputed and final was$37.

I have 2 charges for the 6th March, only 1 of them is correct.
Could you please look into this for me please.
Lindsay Kealy

Ola Cabs
Ola C.Ola Cabs

Hi Lindsay, I believe one of these charges may be the pre-authorisation hold. A pre-authorisation hold is placed based on the fare estimate when a ride is booked. Then once the ride is completed the actual fare is charged and the pre-authorisation hold is released. Depending on your bank it can take 2-3 days to disappear from your transactions list. Please provide the CRN (Customer Reference Number) from the 'Your Rides' section of the app? This will allow us to identify your account and confirm this for you. Thanks for your patience.

It is a pathetic service. I took Ola from the airport and the fare of $58 has been deducted from my card . However i got more deduction of $76 and the transaction says Temp hold which i understand is a temporarily hold one but my question is if you have already charged me then what is the point of holding a bigger amount than the fare?

This thing is crazy !!

1 answer
Ola Cabs
Ola C.Ola Cabs

Hi Cheryl, the temporary authorisation hold is based on the fare estimate and held at the time of booking. This amount is released on Ola's end as soon as the ride is complete - when the actual fare is charged. However, depending on your bank it can take a few days for the temporary hold to be removed. The $76 should be released shortly. Please provide your registered email address with Ola or the CRN (Customer Reference Number) from the 'Your Rides' section of the Ola app if you would like me to check on this fare. Thanks for your patience.
