Ride Advantage FAQs
Why add Ride Advantage?
Ride Advantage is a new product launched by Ola that offers you added protection for specific incidents resulting from an issue or a matter which may have occurred during a booking or during your ride which affect the quality of your experience in some way. The types of incidents covered by Ride Advantage consist of the following:
- delays in pickup;
- loss to personal electronics or belongings if you leave something behind after your ride which you were not able to recover from our Lost & Found management system;
- inconvenience incurred in recovering lost items from our Lost & Found management system;
- missed flights caused by delays despite having scheduled to arrive at the airport within your airline’s recommended check-in time.
Under Ride Advantage, you will either be reimbursed a fee or will receive a credit voucher as compensation for the inconvenience or your loss. The purpose of Ride Advantage is to offer you peace of mind and the certainty that you have a remedy in case something goes wrong.
What about my statutory guarantees?
Whenever you ride with Ola, we aim to provide you with a reliable service. Our matching system which facilitates rides provided by drivers to riders is designed to offer a great experience to our riders.
If you experience any issues during a booking or during your ride such that our service is defective in some way, we will refund or replace such ride without any cost to you as part of your rights under relevant Consumer Law statutory guarantees. However, our statutory guarantees are limited. For example, you will not be covered for any losses resulting from driver issues, technical app issues or traffic delays.
Ride Advantage is an extension of your statutory rights which covers you for losses which are not ordinarily covered by any such statutory guarantee.
What am I covered for?
Ride Advantage covers you for the following types of incidents:
- delays in pickup;
- loss to personal electronics or belongings if you leave something behind after your ride;
- inconvenience incurred in recovering lost items;
