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.

I love knowing that when I ride with Ola my drivers gets paid more (extra bonus that I pay less!) It’s a great way to make sure we’re all helping each other out especially in these difficult times.

I was charged much more than quote

published

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.

Cheaters..

published

When i first downloaded it says 50% off on your first ride and I took a cab from Auburn to Hurstville for $70 thinking they will give me 50 % off but later they charged me full and never refund 50% back. There adds are not real and they are very expensive. They are totally fraud and even the guy didn’t use toll way they charged the toll way for me .

Shortage of customers

published

I have been driving for Ola approximately 1 year, but don’t get more than 6-7 customers on week nights - on weekends the maximum for 1 night is about 15( driving 10-11 hours). Most passengers get picked up in the city and Eastern suburbs, a few from inner west. Last night I went to Epping n Cherrybrook for a few jobs but if I go to Nth Sydney or Manly or uppernorth there are no customers. Mostly only young people use Ola - hardly anyone over 50. Could Ola do more marketing out of town? Just wondering?

Cheaper than other ride shares

I've had great rides with Ola, the service is quick and reliable, and they pay their drivers more than their main competitor. Ola discounts are great and I trust them with my whole family

Hi Loop, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this glowing review. We look forward to providing you with the same level of service in the future.

The app is unreliable

published

My preference is to use OLA as it’s cheaper then UBER, however sometimes it takes OLA app long time to search for drivers so I have no choice but to cancel and book UBER instead. This happens even with Airport pick ups. OLA takes the ride amount up front which is unusual. Recently due to cancelation as per above the payment method reverted back to my personal card instead of work card and I was unable to change it during the ride (you can do thus with UBER) which meant I had to do expense reimbursement from work which requires some paper work and time for them to credit me back.

Charges more than you expect

I took a ride from home to the airport. Initially the price was $28-31. When I finished the ride it was charged 35. More expensive than others apps providing the same service.

Great ride on time and clean car

published

The ola ride was very good, driver friendly and courteous was there in 2 mins from my house and about 5 mins on the way back, driver makes more money than driving with UBER so much fairer for the driver.

I've nothing to complain about.........

published

I switched to OLA soon after they arrived here as I was made aware of the fact that the drivers receive a greater percentage of the fare. In reality there is no real difference between the UBER and OLA, and most of the drivers use both of the Apps in order to ensure a busy day. I have never had any problems whatsoever with any OLA driver, and I can recommend them to anyone who is thinking of using them.

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.
