*We only allow payouts to a bank account in your name to prevent fraud and meet the requirements set by our banking partners. Only bank accounts in national currency are supported. The exception is banks that are prohibited from operating in Ukraine based on relevant decisions of the country's regulatory authorities (sanctioned banks).
When requesting a payout, you will be charged a fee that is displayed in the app. The fee reflects the additional costs associated with processing such a payment. Regular payments are made free of charge.
You can use this feature once a day.
Please note that all withdrawals (regular, weekly and on-demand) are limited to a maximum of 20 per month. If you exceed this limit, you will not be able to receive any withdrawals (regular or early) until the end of the calendar month in which the limit was exceeded. Therefore, we recommend that you request no more than 15 early withdrawals on demand per calendar month.
Pre-booking trips is a premium service for riders that will help you increase your revenue.
How do I accept a scheduled trip?
- To view your available requests:
- Before you get on the line, tap New scheduled requests on the home screen. You can also go to the Inbox > Scheduled trips tab
- Scroll to find the request and tap Accept
Your scheduled trip will now appear in the Inbox > Scheduled requests > Accepted menu. You will see the fixed fare, pick-up time, and required time to get on the line for the specific accepted trip.
How do I complete a scheduled trip?
You must get on the line at the specified time — this way you confirm your ability to complete the scheduled trip. Otherwise, the order will be transferred to another available driver.
From now on, you will only receive orders that do not coincide with your scheduled trip and whose route is near the pre-order drop-off location.
When you are ready to leave for your scheduled trip, tap Start driving on the home screen.
Once you have arrived at your drop-off location, tap Arrived.
Please note that after your arrival, the passenger will have 5 minutes to show up.
Tap Start trip only after the customer gets in the car.
Note: The 5-minute wait time will only start when the scheduled trip starts. If you drop off the car early, the additional wait time will not be compensated.
How do I cancel a scheduled trip?
If you need to cancel an order before it leaves for the drop-off location:
Find the relevant order on the Accepted orders screen and tap Cancel.
If you need to cancel a trip after it's time to leave for your pick-up location:
Click Start Driving and Cancel.
Note:
Last-minute cancellations of pre-orders may negatively impact your driver rating, but will not affect your order acceptance/confirmation rate.
Repeated cancellations of scheduled trips may result in this feature being disabled for your account.
If the customer doesn't show up after you arrive at the pick-up location:
Wait at the location for another 5 minutes after the scheduled pick-up time.
Click Cancel and you will be automatically charged the cancellation fee.
Note: If the customer cancels the order at least an hour before the scheduled pick-up time, the cancellation fee will be automatically deducted from your earnings.
