At Zuri Ride™, we are committed to providing a reliable, professional, safe, and fair mobility experience for passengers, delivery customers, corporate clients, and drivers.
This Refund & Cancellation Policy explains how Zuri Ride handles refunds, cancellations, fare adjustments, failed payments, duplicate payments, no-shows, parcel delivery issues, corporate account disputes, and related payment concerns.
By booking a ride, requesting a delivery, making payment, using the Zuri Ride application, using the Zuri Ride website, contacting support, or continuing to use any Zuri Ride service, you agree to this Policy.
This Policy should be read together with the Zuri Ride Passenger Terms of Use, Driver Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Delivery Policy, Safety Guidelines, and any applicable corporate or business agreement.
This Policy applies to all Zuri Ride services, including:
This Policy applies whether the service is requested by an individual passenger, a sender, a recipient, a company, an institution, an organization, or an authorized corporate user.
Zuri Ride operates as a curated mobility and chauffeur-style service focused on reliability, professionalism, safety, and customer experience.
Refunds are handled fairly, but they are not automatic.
A refund, credit, or fare adjustment may only be issued after Zuri Ride reviews the request and confirms that the issue qualifies under this Policy.
Zuri Ride may issue one of the following outcomes:
Zuri Ride reserves the right to decide the most appropriate remedy depending on the facts of each case.
A refund or fare adjustment may be considered where:
All eligible refund situations remain subject to investigation, available evidence, payment confirmation, and final approval by Zuri Ride.
Refunds will generally not be issued where:
If a customer cancels before a driver has been assigned or dispatched, the customer may be eligible for a full refund, partial refund, wallet credit, or no charge, depending on the payment method and booking type.
Where no cost has been incurred by Zuri Ride or the driver, Zuri Ride may reverse or cancel the charge where technically possible.
However, for scheduled rides, corporate bookings, special vehicle reservations, airport transfers, event bookings, or reserved chauffeur services, cancellation rules may differ depending on the time of cancellation and resources already allocated.
If a customer cancels after a driver has accepted or been dispatched to the pickup location, a cancellation fee may apply.
This fee may be charged to compensate for:
The cancellation fee may vary depending on:
Where possible, applicable cancellation fees will be shown in the app, booking flow, invoice, or support communication.
A no-show occurs where the driver arrives at the pickup location but the customer, passenger, sender, or recipient is not available within the allowed waiting period.
A no-show may also occur where:
In no-show situations, Zuri Ride may charge:
No-show charges are generally non-refundable unless Zuri Ride confirms that the driver went to the wrong location, failed to contact the customer properly, arrived much later than expected without communication, or the charge was applied in error.
Drivers may wait for a reasonable period at the pickup location.
If the customer delays the driver beyond the allowed waiting period, waiting charges may apply.
Waiting charges may apply to:
Waiting charges are generally non-refundable where the delay was caused by the customer, passenger, sender, recipient, or corporate user.
A driver may cancel a ride or delivery for valid reasons, including:
If a driver cancels without valid reason and the customer was charged, Zuri Ride may issue a refund, wallet credit, fare adjustment, or cancellation fee waiver after review.
Scheduled rides may require advance driver allocation and planning.
For scheduled rides:
Where Zuri Ride cancels a scheduled ride due to internal operational failure and no suitable replacement is provided, the customer may be eligible for a refund or credit.
Once a ride has been completed, the fare is generally non-refundable.
However, Zuri Ride may review a completed ride for possible adjustment where:
A completed ride does not qualify for refund simply because the customer later changed their mind or felt the price was high after accepting and completing the service.
Zuri Ride may issue a fare adjustment instead of a full refund.
Fare adjustments may apply where:
Fare adjustments may be issued as:
If a customer is charged more than once for the same ride, delivery, or booking, Zuri Ride will review the transaction.
Where a duplicate payment is confirmed, Zuri Ride may:
The customer may be required to provide payment proof such as transaction ID, mobile money message, bank statement, card statement, screenshot, or receipt.
Sometimes a customer may attempt to pay by mobile money, card, bank transfer, or digital payment, and the money may be deducted even though the booking fails or the payment does not immediately reflect in Zuri Ride systems.
In such cases:
Zuri Ride is not responsible for delays caused by telecom companies, banks, mobile money providers, card networks, or payment gateways, but Zuri Ride will make reasonable efforts to assist where possible.
Where cash payment is allowed, the customer must pay the correct fare shown or confirmed by Zuri Ride.
Refunds for cash payments may require additional verification because Zuri Ride must confirm:
If a customer overpays in cash, Zuri Ride may review the matter and may issue wallet credit, cash return support, mobile money refund, or another reasonable resolution where the overpayment is confirmed.
Zuri Ride may reject cash refund claims where there is insufficient evidence.
Zuri Ride may issue wallet credits, coupons, discounts, referral bonuses, promotional balances, or goodwill credits.
Unless Zuri Ride states otherwise:
Where a ride is refunded, any promotional discount used may not be restored unless Zuri Ride decides otherwise.
For parcel and item delivery services, a refund may be considered where:
A refund may not be issued where:
Zuri Ride may refuse delivery and deny refund requests involving prohibited, unsafe, illegal, restricted, or unsuitable items.
Prohibited items may include:
If a customer sends a prohibited item, the customer remains fully responsible for any loss, damage, legal issue, penalty, claim, or delay.
Zuri Ride may report suspicious or illegal items to lawful authorities where required.
Zuri Ride may review claims involving damaged, lost, or delayed parcels.
To make a claim, the sender or recipient may be required to provide:
Zuri Ride may reject claims where:
Zuri Ride’s liability for parcels may be limited to the delivery fee or a reasonable amount determined by Zuri Ride, unless a separate written agreement or insurance arrangement states otherwise.
For corporate clients, institutional clients, business accounts, and B2B bookings, refunds and charge disputes may be handled through invoice adjustments rather than direct cash refunds.
Corporate refund or billing issues may include:
Corporate clients must submit invoice disputes within seven (7) days from the invoice date unless a separate written agreement states otherwise.
Undisputed invoice amounts must still be paid on time.
Zuri Ride may suspend corporate accounts with repeated unpaid invoices, excessive disputes, suspicious usage, or overdue balances.
Where Zuri Ride offers prepaid balances, wallet credits, ride packages, corporate deposits, or monthly transport bundles, refund rules may depend on the package terms.
Unless otherwise stated:
Zuri Ride may decline refund requests for abused, fraudulently obtained, transferred, or manipulated wallet credits.
Refund requests must be submitted within forty-eight (48) hours after the ride, delivery, cancellation, payment issue, or disputed charge.
Zuri Ride may reject late refund requests unless the customer provides a valid reason for the delay.
For corporate invoices, disputes must be submitted within seven (7) days from the invoice date unless a separate agreement states otherwise.
To request a refund, the customer must contact Zuri Ride through official support channels.
A refund request should include:
Incomplete refund requests may delay review or lead to rejection.
After receiving a refund request, Zuri Ride may review:
Zuri Ride may contact the customer, driver, sender, recipient, payment provider, or corporate account representative during review.
Zuri Ride’s decision will be based on available evidence and this Policy.
Approved refunds may be processed through:
Where the original payment method is unavailable, failed, expired, or not practical, Zuri Ride may use an alternative refund method.
Zuri Ride may require identity verification before processing refunds.
Approved refunds will be processed within a reasonable period after review and approval.
Processing times may vary depending on:
Zuri Ride is not responsible for delays caused by banks, telecom companies, mobile money providers, card networks, or payment processors.
Where a customer has an unpaid balance, unpaid cancellation fee, unpaid ride fare, corporate invoice, delivery charge, damage fee, or other valid amount owed to Zuri Ride, Zuri Ride may offset an approved refund against that outstanding balance.
For example, if a customer qualifies for a refund but also owes Zuri Ride for a previous unpaid trip, Zuri Ride may deduct the unpaid amount and refund only the remaining balance.
Zuri Ride reserves the right to deny refund requests and restrict accounts where refund abuse is suspected.
Refund abuse may include:
Where abuse is suspected, Zuri Ride may:
Where a passenger reports a serious safety issue, harassment, threat, assault, reckless driving, or driver misconduct, Zuri Ride may investigate the matter urgently.
Depending on the outcome, Zuri Ride may:
Safety-related refunds do not limit Zuri Ride’s right to take separate safety, legal, or disciplinary action.
Zuri Ride aims to provide a clean and professional experience.
A fare adjustment may be considered where there is a serious verified service quality issue, such as:
However, refunds may not be issued for minor discomfort, subjective preference, normal traffic inconvenience, weather-related inconvenience, or expectations not confirmed in the booking.
If a passenger damages a vehicle, causes excessive dirt, spills food or drinks, vomits, breaks vehicle parts, damages seats, damages door handles, or causes other cleaning or repair costs, Zuri Ride may charge a cleaning or damage fee.
Such fees are generally non-refundable where supported by evidence.
Zuri Ride may review disputes over damage or cleaning fees if the customer submits evidence within forty-eight (48) hours.
Zuri Ride may use third-party payment providers, including mobile money providers, card processors, banks, payment gateways, and wallet providers.
Zuri Ride is not responsible for failures, reversals, delays, service downtime, incorrect deductions, or settlement delays caused by third-party providers.
However, where a customer provides valid proof of payment, Zuri Ride may assist in tracing or confirming the transaction.
Refunds related to third-party payment failures may only be processed after confirmation.
To review refund requests, Zuri Ride may process personal data and transaction data, including:
This data is used only for support, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, payment verification, safety, compliance, and service improvement.
Zuri Ride will handle personal data according to its Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws.
If a customer files a chargeback, mobile money reversal, bank dispute, or payment dispute for a valid charge, Zuri Ride may suspend the customer’s account while the matter is reviewed.
If the chargeback is found to be improper or fraudulent, Zuri Ride may:
Customers should contact Zuri Ride support before filing external disputes so that the issue can be reviewed quickly.
Zuri Ride shall not be liable for refunds, delays, failed service, or non-performance caused by events beyond reasonable control, including:
Zuri Ride may still choose to issue goodwill credits in exceptional cases, but such credits are discretionary.
Zuri Ride may update this Refund & Cancellation Policy from time to time.
Updates may be published through:
Continued use of Zuri Ride services after the updated Policy is published means the customer accepts the updated Policy.
