Return & Refund Policy
At Rawat Taxi Service, we aim to provide reliable taxi, car rental, bike and scooty rental, airport transfer, and tour services. This Return & Refund Policy explains our rules for cancellations, refunds, and service changes.
1. Cancellation by Customer
If you need to cancel a booking, please contact us as soon as possible.
Refund eligibility depends on:
- The type of service booked
- Time remaining before the scheduled service
- Any advance payment made
- Cancellation terms communicated at the time of booking
- Any non-refundable amount related to the booking
Bookings cancelled at short notice may be subject to cancellation charges.
2. Advance Payments
Some bookings may require an advance payment to confirm the vehicle or service.
The refund of an advance payment depends on the cancellation conditions applicable to that booking.
Any non-refundable amount will be communicated to the customer before or at the time of booking.
3. Cancellation by Rawat Taxi Service
In rare situations, we may need to cancel or modify a booking due to:
- Vehicle breakdown
- Vehicle availability issues
- Severe weather
- Road closures
- Landslides
- Government restrictions
- Natural disasters
- Safety concerns
- Other circumstances beyond our reasonable control
If we cancel a confirmed booking and cannot provide a suitable alternative, we will discuss the applicable refund or adjustment with the customer.
4. No-Show Policy
If a customer does not arrive at the agreed pickup location or cannot be contacted within a reasonable waiting period, the booking may be treated as a no-show.
A no-show may result in the loss of the advance payment or applicable booking charges.
5. Late Arrival
If a customer arrives late or requests a delayed pickup, additional waiting charges may apply where applicable.
For airport or railway transfers, customers should provide accurate arrival details so that we can plan the pickup properly.
6. Change of Booking
Customers may request changes to:
- Travel date
- Pickup or drop-off location
- Vehicle type
- Number of passengers
- Rental duration
- Tour itinerary
Changes are subject to availability and may result in additional charges.
A change requested close to the scheduled service time may be treated as a cancellation and new booking.
7. Car, Bike & Scooty Rentals
For rental services, the applicable refund depends on the rental period, cancellation time, advance payment, and rental conditions agreed at the time of booking.
If a rented vehicle is returned early, the unused rental period is not automatically refundable unless we have agreed otherwise.
Damage, fuel, late-return, traffic fines, or other applicable charges may be deducted from any refundable amount.
8. Tour Package Refunds
Refunds for tour packages depend on the services included in the package.
If the booking includes hotels, permits, activities, transportation, or other third-party services, their cancellation and refund rules may apply.
Non-refundable amounts paid to third-party providers may not be refundable.
9. Refund Processing
Once a refund is approved, we will process it through the applicable payment method or agreed method.
The time required for the refund to reach your account may depend on the payment provider or bank.
We are not responsible for delays caused by banks or payment gateways after the refund has been processed by us.
10. Non-Refundable Charges
Certain charges may be non-refundable, including where applicable:
- Last-minute cancellation charges
- No-show charges
- Non-refundable hotel or activity charges
- Permit or entry fees already paid
- Payment gateway or transaction charges
- Special booking charges
- Services already used
The applicable charges will depend on the booking.
11. Refund Requests
To request a refund, please contact us with:
- Customer name
- Booking details
- Phone number
- Travel or rental date
