Refund and Cancellation Policy
Effective date: 7 September 2026
This policy explains when a trip can be cancelled, when a fee applies, and how money is returned to you. It forms part of our Terms of Service.
Siza is in pre-launch preparation and is not yet open for service in any market. This policy takes effect for every trip from the day service opens where you are.
1. Cancelling before a driver accepts
You can cancel at no charge, at any time, before a driver has accepted your trip. No fee applies and nothing is deducted.
2. Cancelling after a driver accepts
Once a driver has accepted, a short grace period applies during which cancelling is still free. The length of that grace period, and any fee that applies after it, are set for each region and are shown to you in the app before you confirm a cancellation.
A fee after the grace period exists for one reason: your driver has already travelled toward you and that time is not recoverable. Where a fee is charged, it is paid to the driver.
We do not charge a cancellation fee where:
- the driver cancelled, or did not arrive;
- the driver could not be located at the stated pickup point;
- the app was unavailable, or the trip failed for a technical reason on our side;
- you cancelled because of a safety concern.
3. If you paid by wallet
Where a trip is paid from your Siza wallet and is cancelled or successfully disputed, the amount is returned to your wallet balance. Wallet refunds are the normal route because they are immediate and traceable in your transaction history.
4. If you paid in cash
Cash is paid directly to the driver at the end of the trip and does not pass through Siza. Where a cash trip is disputed and we determine a refund is due, we credit the amount to your Siza wallet rather than arranging a cash return.
5. Fares that look wrong
The fare you are quoted before confirming is the fare you pay. If a completed trip is charged at a different amount, tell us and we will correct it.
Contact support@sizaride.com with the trip date and, if you have it, the receipt. Raise it within 30 days of the trip so that the trip data needed to review it is still available.
6. How we handle a dispute
We aim to acknowledge a refund request within one business day and to reach a decision within five business days. Where a decision takes longer, we will tell you why.
If we approve a refund, we will tell you the amount and where it has been returned. If we decline, we will tell you the reason.
7. Drivers and fleet partners
This policy covers riders. Driver earnings, withheld payouts and settlement disputes are handled separately through your earnings statement and the fleet partner terms.
8. Your statutory rights
Nothing in this policy limits any right you have under the consumer protection law that applies to you. Where that law gives you a stronger remedy than this policy, that law applies.
