How Cancellations, Refunds & Rescheduling Work at Pompomcar

At Pompomcar, we understand that plans can change. Whether you need to cancel a booking, reschedule your trip, or request a refund, our system makes the process fast, transparent, and stress-free. This guide explains the full policy so you know exactly what to expect at every step.

1. Cancellation Policy Overview

Cancellation rules depend on:

Peak vs non-peak hours
The cancellation fee—if applicable—is always shown before you confirm a booking.

2. Free Cancellation Window

Most bookings allow free cancellation when done within a certain period, such as:
30 minutes after booking (for immediate rides)
Up to 12 or 24 hours before the scheduled pickup (for scheduled rides)
The free cancellation window varies by provider and will be visible on your booking page.

3. Cancellation Fees

You may be charged a cancellation fee if:
Cancellation occurs after the free window
Driver/vehicle has already been assigned
