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.

    Fraud by OLA CABS by S V RAJAGOPALAN:

    OLA has charged Rs.1221/- for a 40 km ride with a 1.8 times peak hours charge and parking charges. The travel was from Faridabad to Ghaziabad and the cab was taken from Mathura road. I do not understand why did they charge the parking charges. Further it is a surprise for me that i have never paid such a huge amount even to easy cabs and meru cabs. OLA is finally a fraud company and cheaters. As said by kejriwalji it is a daylight robbery.

    OLA CAB COMPLAINTS- CHARGING UNFAIR TOLL TAXES AND OTHER TAXES. by VIVEK:

    (5 of 5)

    I have used OLA Cab Services, trip Invoice No. CRN220151443 by micro category car no. DL-01RT9309 Timing 8:49 AM from Sarita Vihar,Delhi to Vasundhra. I got a bill of Rs.613/- which was paid as Rs. 599 amount by ola money and Rs.14 by cash. I was shocked to see that out of Rs. 613/-, Ola cab has charged Rs. 285/- on toll tax and other taxes which the driver had neither paid anywhere nor the receipt of the same is being provided in my Invoice. The bill was too much as per my estimated amount shown in fare estimate before ride. I also asked ola by email about the break up of Rs. 285/- charged as Toll taxes & other taxes, to which they are silent till now. I request you to kindly take up the matter, so that innocent consumers don't get caught in these type of frauds.

    Ola Overcharged on Booking CRN 231284699 by Guruprasad:

    (5 of 5)

    Dear Sirs,

    Today on 29-Apr-2016 we used Ola for travel between J P Nagar 8th Phase to Race Course Rd which is distance of 15.5 km. The cab took an hour for this travel. To our surprise for this distance we were charged INR 755/- by Ola. This looks exorbitant. Not sure what sort of government rule allows Ola to do so. It's indeed a loot.

    Hope somebody listens to this and help in refund of excess charged. The original charge was just 111 + tax. Rest is wish of Ola of overcharge.

    Thanks!

    Regards,
    Guruprasad

    Morning 6:40 AM

    Travelling from Pune to Mumbai KM 180 fare for train 160, Fare for bus 200

    Travelling from Kothrud (Pune) to Pune station KM 10 KM here OLA charges you 300

    Called on customer care asked the reason and you get awesome response that it's pick time

    Also it's my first ride and as per so called terms and conditions it should be free or some discount but when booked first ride u get Babaji KA thullu.

    Called on customer care and you get one more awesome response that you should apply promo code while booking , where as promo code for 1st ride should be applied by OLA directly.

    Harassment by Ola by ATUL NARANG:

    (5 of 5)

    I had no issue with Ola until today morning, I have been using Ola since last 2 months and it has been a good experience overall until today.

    But, today, I had such terrible experiences with Ola, one after another, I am sure I will not be using Ola in my entire life. Some olamoney I have got in my wallet, I will use it some other way..

    List of today's ugly and bitter experiences..

    1. 8:10 am -- It began with the Ola booking, OSN 61735407 -- After booking, I called the driver and he told me that he is at the gas station and I will have to cancel the booking. So, why in the first place his cab was booked?
    Ok fine, bearable till now.

    2. 8.11am -- Ola Booking - OSN 61736137-- Babu Tanwar, Driver arrived at the pickup point, I boarded the cab, he tapped his touch screen device, my money got deducted and he said, my booking has been cancelled. I said, I did't get any message of cancellation.

    I called OlaCare, explained the executive about it and then she told the driver to drop me at the destination. After a while, he picked up another passenger and he had to go to Rohini and I had to go to Faridabad. Totally opposite routes. So,

    I called up OlaCare again explained her the situation, she told me that she could not see any booking, I was baffled, why there is no booking when nobody cancelled it. Driver asked me to deboard his cab and I had no choice.

    After deboarding the cab, I called the OlaCare again and asked how and why my booking was cancelled? She checked and said, my booking was not cancelled, but completed.
    How could my booking got completed while I was still at my pickup point and it was completed instantly..

    All this consumed a lot of time.. and I got late.

    Executive apologized and said I will be refunded and all, but that's not the point.

    I was in confusion, whether I should go or drop my plan, but later I decided to go anyway.

    3. 9:29am - Ola Booking - OSN61824011 - Manjeet Singh..Now PAY ATTENTION WITH EXTREME FOCUS..
    What happened was beyond my expectation..
    - I called the driver and explained him the very straight and clear route to my destination. I told him to come via IGNOU road and take a turn from Bikaner. After waiting for a while, I saw in my mobile, it showed, 'Your cab has arrived' and timer started.
    - I saw, there was no cab anywhere around my vicinity and called up the driver again and he said, forget about the 'Cab has arrived'. He went in some wrong direction and is coming.
    - I kept waiting outside, after a while I called him up again.. I asked, bhaiya kahan pahunche? Brother, where have you reached? He said very rudely, 'aa raha hun na'. I am coming. I said, I am only asking, 'have you found the right way?' He said, why are you getting impatient? I said, because you have made me stand here, cab is showing it has arrived and I am unnecessarily waiting for the cab. I said, Jaldi aa.. come quickly, he said, TERE BAAP KA NAUKAR NAHI HUN'..
    - It is intolerable to hear this thing from third class drivers of your company.. First, I got late because of Ola and your driver was wasting my time and I was standing at the pick up point and when inquired, he talked to me like that.
    - That statement of your driver resulted into very ugly verbal spat between him and me. I want Ola to check the call recordings what happened.
    - That driver was representing Ola and I hold Ola responsible for such experience..
    - I cannot tolerate this..

    4. I still decided to book another cab. 9:53am - Ola Booking - OSN 61860635 - Harvinder Singh..
    - I called the driver and asked him where is he. He said, he is near Saket and asked me where I want to go. I said, Faridabad. He said ok. It will take around 10 minutes.
    - I kept waiting for 5 minutes and then, I got a message that my booking has been cancelled.

    Finally..I dropped my plan.. as I got late.. All this Ola cab non-sense consumed a lot of time and I would have reached my destination within 1 and a half hours, the time it took to book and wait for drivers.

    Every time, I called, your executives apologized... Fine, but apologies are almost meaningless..It is so easy to say sorry.

    No doubt, I will not use Ola again in my entire life, though until morning, I was happy with the cab services..I will certainly talk bad about Ola any chance I get to. I will certainly advise people to avoid Ola everywhere possible.

    I WILL FILE A HARASSMENT SUIT ON OLA....
    For sure....
    I cannot tolerate the way I was treated at any cost. No driver, no Ola representative can talk to me like that.
    It does't matter who that driver was, I booked a cab with Ola and I was treated like that by somebody representing Ola only..
    Ola is entirely responsible for all the driver's conduct..

    Hi,
    I have been regular to OLA still if drivers are denying duty and asking us to cancel the rides, and if we make more than 4 cancellation OLA IS BLOCKING us for 24 Hrs. When it is totally fault on their side. Still why the consumer should suffer.To add over that we are receiving fake invoices in the case where driver has called us and asked to cancel the ride
