Bolt Driver Made A Personal Stop and I Was Charged

We scheduled a Bolt journey on May 22 since it seemed quick and simple, but midway through the driver stopped haphazardly to perform a personal errand—something we clearly never agreed to. Guess what? We waited there waiting while he vanished for some many minutes. For that period we still were charged. We were late and the excursion turned out costing extra. When I got Bolt support anticipating a clear refund, they admitted the driver took a diversion but refused to reimburse the whole money as the ride was "technically completed." In fact? Not good. Consumers should not be paying for personal errands run by drivers. I have asked multiple times, but still no appropriate answer. Think twice before using Bolt; they obviously lack your back.

I checked my Bolt app, and it only shows the ₱69 trip as completed an...

10 Before I confirmed my ride on Yandex GO, the fare was clearly shown as ₺352. Just one minute before the trip ended, I checked again — the app still showed ₺350. But the moment the driver turned off the taximeter, he said the total was ₺455. How is this even possible? We didn’t travel an extra ₺103 ...

3 On Monday, April 7, I ordered a taxi through Yandex GO and experienced an incredibly frustrating and costly situation. I called six taxis, and although each one initially accepted, they soon called me to say they “accepted by mistake,” had other passengers, or were just about to go offline, and then...
