Ola Cabs / ANI Technologies Complaints & Reviews

I have recharged Rs 1000 for my ola account through their website 5 days ago.The amount has been deducted from my credit card but still it has not been topped up in my ola account.Have made several calls to customer care and send many emails to their mail id but still the amount is not topped up.

Ola charges Rs 2/min on the trip even while the car is stuck in traffic or at a signal. I am charged anywhere for 35min to 55min for a trip from Sahakarnagar to Electronics city depending on the peak hour traffic conditions.On top of this OLA charges 1.2-1.5 times the usual fare at peak hours. Shouldn't waiting time be charged only for the duration that the cab is made to wait before the trip starts ? OLA has turned a deaf ear to this in spite of repeated requests and complaints. Kindly resolve the same Thanks Ashwin

Hi, Today i had booked OLA Cab at 7.20 am for afternoon 2.30 pm. I received an SMS confirmation & also called up the customer care to confirm the booking. Around 2.07 pm, I received an SMS confirmation regarding the driver details Mr Ramesh - Mobile No. [protected] that he will receiving me. But after 5 mins the driver called me to say that he is some different location ie. Chennai egmore & my location is Pammal which he will not be able to reach.After 5 mins at 2.10 pm without my consent your driver Ramesh sent me a cancellation SMS. My complaint is 1st of all why a driver is calling from different location & do you give driver rights to cancel the customer's request. Is this the OLA cabs operate??. When i called up the customer care, she is explaining to me that even if the confirmation is received there is no guarantee that the cab would reach at that time. If this is the case, why to book OLA cab ?? Rather than that i can book some other CAB which is more responsible that you people. Iam irritated because this has happened with twice now within 10 days. last time some waiting charge was claimed from one which i had to fight with you people to get it back. I need proper explanation for all these lapses and also want compensation for damages. I have to seriously think ten times now before booking OLA cabs with the kind of responsibility you are showing. Kindly revert. Regards, Ramji K

We have yesterday booked OLA Cabs through Customer care number of[protected] and Mr.Anirban talked to me. I have clearly mentioned from Bazarghat to Airport we need by 4pm and return by 6.30 pm Airport to Bazarghat. And he told me you will be charged toll tax and waiting charges while going and while coming i will do new one booking . For going 499/- will be charged for 30 kms and 12 extra per km if it crossed 30 kms. And while coming 499/- and 25/- surcharge he told. and when we have taken 6.30 pm from airport today. Driver Mr.Jagan he was saying you need to pay parking and waiting charges because we were talking to customer care. Yesterday they have told about parking. I have called to customer care and they were saying about our employee has made mistake. I have told him to check the recording. and He has transferred the call to supervisor named. Mr.Sumanth. He was just saying to pay parking charges to the driver and saying sorry. If possible we will revert back to you in next booking. Why this people are making fools, means we need to think about this. Like jaago grahak jaago saying by our government. Stringent action to be taken among them.

On 28th February 2015, I had to fly from Chennai to Ahmedabad. My Flight was 'Air Costa' at 5:20am. I was in Srinagar Colony, behind Saidapet Court, Chennai. I had booked the Ola Cab for Chennai Airport drop from Srinagar colony on 27th February night. I had asked them to report at 3:45am. The booking reference was CRN63886983. I received the SMS before one hour that "driver Mohamed ([protected]) Maroon Tata indigo TN 12 E 3109 will pick you [protected]@ 28Feb, 3.45AM" I was on road at 3.45am and cab does not come. I wait for 10 minutes and then phoned the driver but unfortunately, the cab driver was totally unknown of given address and he was only Tamil knowing, so could not understand my instructions and was roaming here and there. I phoned to head office ([protected]) thrice to instruct the cab driver or to send another known driver because, i had to catch the 5:20am flight. But he also could not managed the situation. At last the driver reached at my address at 4:45am. I reached at airport at 5:05am, obviously, I missed the 5:20 flight. Then, I had to book new air ticket for flight at 14:00 for Rs. 11289/-, I had missed my important meeting at Ahmedabad. Will Ola compensate my wastage of money, time, loosing meeting and mental harassment? Bharat K. Patel Ahmedabad. Ph. [protected]

Dear Team,

One of my worst experience I have been gone through, Yesterday I have booked a OLA Cab with CRN64727579, With coupon code App200. After completing my Ride I receive a bill from Cab driver for Rs.508 and ola amount deducted with Rs.100 and amount payable to cab driver For Rs.408. Which was very surprised. As driver told what can we do sir what was showing you have to pay. So I have paid the same.

For this I have contacted for charges I came to know that I have to pay only Rs.61 as per your invoice received from your side. For this I have to talk to your customer care for almost 60mins which i have wasted my talk time of Rs.55. I am not satisfied with the service you have provided at customer care to resolved the issued to take more than hour. My complaint has been resolved against complaint number.793441, But I need an compensate for the same the harassment has been done from you Customer care which i have gone through for more than an hour.. I want my full amount to be refunded in my OLA wallet insteatd of Rs.347

This is regarding the 50% off offer. My CRN no. is 64562808. 1- I had transferred money to OlaMoney to be able to avail this offer. But I was charged full for the journey. When i contacted customer care, they told me I had to recharge OLA MONEY before booking the travel so as to avail this offer. I had gone through the 50% offer thoroughly and nowhere found this information. 2- the cabbie was late himself and I was fine with that. On the contrary, I was also charged me Rs.20 for waiting charges telling me that when they wait at red-signals that is also counted under waiting time. THIS IS RIDICULOUS and so UNPROFESSIONAL !! Do you think OLA is going to work out in the long run like this!!?

I booked Ola on 1st March from Malviya nagar to Greater Kailash M Block market
1) He does not know Malviya Nagar
2) Does not know G.K
3) Cab was late but received your cab arrived and waiting charge started
4) Cab 7484 indigo Dirty and out of condition
5) Full of mosquitoes inside the cab.
6) Cab was stinking smell of shoe.
2nd March
Booked auto but :
1) Driver call up and informed that he dont want to go and feel sleepy so he is not coming.
2) Call up the call center, instead of resolving the customer care agent was argueing " If the auto driver dont want to come to pick up then its not Ola problem" I booked the auto through Ola only and if any problem whom to contact as she flatly refused that its not ola problem... such pathetic service and Govt should stop their license.
I will never ever use their service and so sorry to say that their service is really pathetic.

I booked an ola cab on Saturday (28th Feb 2015) and i was reminded by Ola cab driver named Sujit that if i use mobile app, I will be entitled for 50% discount on the total travelling charges. To my wonder, the cab driver who came for the pickup named Malaji said that there is no discount applicable to me. I would like that Ola cabs should apologise for the confusion and would demand immediate refund of 50% out of 190/- which was charged to me.

I booked a Ola mini cab for my senior who is 7 months pregnant, pick up from Idea Towers, richmond road to drop point near Harlur police station on 2nd March 2015 at 5:20pm as "Ride Now". CRN 64698352, Driver : MAHADEVA M ([protected]) was allotted whose call I got at 5:30pm. Three times I confirmed the pickup point with him and he confirmed that yes he does know the place. At around 6pm I got a call that he is standing at the gate of Office. My senior went to the gate and saw there was no cab. After confirming Driver said he missed the pick up point and has moved approx 50m from the actual point. Since it's a one way road he is unable to trace back so requested her to walk to the cab. It was fine till then but as she gets near to the given location by Driver, he would increase the distance. He made her walk approx 1 km in this condition in such heavy traffic. Issues: 1. Cab came late ... extremely late 2. Made a pregnant lady suffer by not coming to correct pick up point and refusing to rectify his mistake. Made her walk 1km unnecessarily 3. Despite of their fault, delay by Ola counted as waiting and extra charge taken for same 4. Din even receive bill invoice I want full refund. Along with written apology from Ola for the misbehaviour, mental & physical harassment that my senior suffered due to irresponsible attitude of Ola.

My earlier complaint of overcharging was dealt by Mr. Deepak stating that he is from Ola and ensured that uick money can be made. His cell no. is +[protected].He rings up asking for your Credit card number and CVV. Do not give any details. He reiterated that he will refund money and asks you to withdraw the complaint. Found out that a web site www. mobikwik.com is being run and he does all such things of cheating gullible people.

The complaint tkt. no. is 788146 I want a credit note to be raised and settled in cash as i wish not to take Ola henceforth repeat Ola again.

Booked the OLA service for the first time in Pune (Availing service from another provider (Wings) since 2012). On Sunday, March 1, 2015 I downloaded and configured the app then credited Rs1000 to OLA account. At approx 3:00PM I booked the cab from web site @9:45 PM pickup from my Home to airport also booked the same service back to home fro airport. @ 10:45 pickup from pune airport. And I HAVE BEEN SAID from OLA customer care that you will receive driver/car details 30 Minutes prior to pickup. Ironically, 30 minutes before pickup time i ma getting SMS that " Sorry, we regret, cannot find CAB right now near your area. Then I called customer care, they said we will arrange, bla bla bla, finally wasted my 20 minutes. Mean while i got the SMS & driver details. Called driver but no response. I again called customer care, that said " Driver is asking that you have cancelled booking" How pathetic, making fool of customer. After few minutes of conversation, i came to know this driver has been asked to come at airport, which was my destination for IST pickup. Then I enquired/scold to customer desk executive and he dropped the call. Meanwhile, i am getting another SMS from OLA regarding second pickup that " SORRY, WE REGRET, CANNOT GET CAB NEAR YOUR LOCATION." This is the service and response from yours. Call me on my cell [protected] or [protected], will give you complete details what happen from 9:30 PM to 10:40 PM) Thanks, Farokh Now, I have deleted OLA app, it was registered on Name : Razia Farokh Contact No:[protected]

On 28th Feb I used Ola App from my mobile number to book a cab for a drop on 1st March at 2.30pm to Railway Station ( from C V Raman Nagar to Bangalore Cantt) I got a confirmation No, . CRN 64052671 confirming my booking on 28th 1.52 pm On 1st March again I got a confirmation saying that a free upgrade has been given to me and the Driver is Name is Arun ([protected]) Silver Touota Etios KA 51 A 9262 will pick me at 2.30 pm on March. I did not get any call from the driver hence I had the confirmation from Ola I gave him a call at 2.30 (the pick-up time) to find where he had parked the vehicle. To my shock he told me that he tried to call me couple of times since I did not take the call he cancelled the trip. I had no time to argue with such person who is not honest as I did not get any call from him from the his mobile. I had to rush to the railway station to catch the train for Bihar as I brother who had an operation had to go back. It gave me a lots of mental stress and I am totally disappointed with the kind of work culture Ola and his drivers has. At 6.14 pam I got a message from OLA "we will try to connect you to the driver as soon as possible. But nothing happened How can we trust your serives Rosy Varghese - Mobile [protected]

Hi,

I had recharged my OLA Account with 500 INR using HDFC net banking on 19th Feb 2015.
Money was deducted from my account but I didnt get the recharge.

My multiple attempts to call and mail ola support went in vain.
They are just denying that they have not received the money.

I has called HDFC to verify and they have confirmed that money is deducted from my account and there is no fault from bank side.

Request OLA to refund my money ASAP.

Please find attached my HDFC bank attachment as reference
