Ola's cancellation refund policy

According to Ola's support page, if you feel that you have been wrongly charged a cancellation fee, you can request a refund (waived cancellation fee). Before making such a request, it is important to understand under what circumstances Ola charges cancellation charges.

Ola may deduct cancellation charges for any of the following reasons:

You cancel the trip 3 (three) minutes or later from the time the driver accepts the ride.
