Cancellation policy

Last revised: 10 Jul , 2024
Driver cancellation
Drivers can cancel their trip through the website or mobile app, with immediate effect. The amount of refund, if any, depends on factors such as the timing of cancellation, trip length, and trip type. The cancellation time frame is calculated based on the vehicle's time zone.

Full refund: Free cancellation period and cancellation for cleaning/disinfection concerns
Drivers can cancel their trip free of charge if they do so up to 24 hours before the trip start. For bookings made less than 25 hours before the trip, Drivers have one hour after booking to cancel for free. Drivers are encouraged to inform Teslys and cancel through the Teslys website or app.

BOOKING TIME: 25 hours or more before trip start
FREE CANCELLATION PERIOD: Until 24 hours before trip start

BOOKING TIME: Less than 25 hours before trip start
FREE CANCELLATION PERIOD: One hour after booking

If a Driver requests a trip modification and Teslys accepts, the original free cancellation period remains unchanged.

Partial refund: Cancellations outside the free period and Driver no-shows
For cancellations outside the free cancellation period, Drivers are encouraged to inform us and cancel through the Teslys website or app. A partial refund will be issued for these cancellations.

For trips longer than 3 days, the refund amount will be the trip price and fee minus the average cost of one day, the protection plan, any extras, any young driver fee, and half of the delivery fee. For trips 3 days or shorter, the refund amount will be half of the above calculation.

TRIP LENGTH: More than 3 days
REFUND AMOUNT: Trip price and fee minus average cost of one day + half of delivery fee (if ordered)

TRIP LENGTH: 3 days or less
REFUND AMOUNT: Trip price and fee minus average cost of half day + half of delivery fee (if ordered)

If a Driver fails to cancel and doesn't show up within 120 minutes of the scheduled trip start, they'll be considered a no-show. Drivers who arrive without a valid license or who send someone else instead of themselves will also be considered a no-show. Teslys will cancel no-show trips and issue a partial refund. For trips longer than two days, the Driver will receive a refund for trip price and fee minus the average of one day's cost, protection plan, and half of delivery fee. For trips of two days or less, the refund will include trip price and fee minus the average of 50% of one day's cost, protection plan, and half of delivery fee.

TRIP LENGTH: More than 3 days
REFUND AMOUNT: Trip price and fee minus average cost of one day + half of delivery fee (if ordered)


TRIP LENGTH: 3 days or less
REFUND AMOUNT: Trip price and fee minus average cost of half day + half of delivery fee (if ordered)

No refund: Early returns
Drivers who return the vehicle early will not receive a refund or credit except if they have submitted a trip modification request to shorten the trip and Teslys has accepted it.
