  • What if my booking is not successful or is cancelled after payment has been authorized? Will the authorisation amount be released?

    The authorisation amount for unsuccessful or cancelled trips will not be charged and the bank will release it out when its holding period has elapsed. Please note, however, that reversal by foreign banks may take approximately one to two working weeks.

     

    If the authorisation amount from a cancelled or unsuccessful trip isn't released, kindly contact your card issuing bank for assistance to resolve any fee hold-related issues promptly. Each issuer bank has different reversal policies, kindly check with the card issuer should there be any discrepancies.

  • Is there an authorisation hold for in-app debit and credit transactions for ride fares? How much is on hold and for how long?

    Yes. For validation purposes, there is an authorisation hold for in-app credit and debit card transactions. Once the transaction goes through, the authorisation hold will be charged or returned according to the final fare. 

     

    For in-app credit and debit payments, how much is on hold, and for how long? 

    When you use in-app credit or debit payment, there will be an authorisation hold for 15 minutes. 

    For ComfortRIDE trips, the authorisation hold amount is equivalent to the trip fare. For By Meter trips, the hold amount is equivalent to the higher range of the fare. 

    For Pay for Street Hail trips and By Meter trips where the passenger selects the option to “Add Destination Later”, the hold amount will be $20 by default.   

    What if the final fare is higher than the authorisation hold?  

    For in-app credit and debit card payments, the outstanding fare on top of the authorisation hold will be charged as a separate transaction from the authorisation hold amount. The two separate transactions will be charged on the same day and should add up to give you the final fare.

  • What Should I Do If The Cabby Did Not Deduct The Promo Code Discount From My Final Fare?

    Our deepest apologies that the driver had not done so. Our drivers have been told that the final metered fare should be the one reflected on the Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) and not the meter. The metered fare displayed on the MDT would have taken into account the promo code discount. Please make a report via our feedback form below; you may click on 'Submit a feedback form', select the 'Promo Code' category, and provide us with your booking trip details so that we can conduct an investigation into the matter. Alternatively, you may contact our Customer Service Centre at 6552 4525

  • Can I have a new taxi ride receipt printed because I lost my paper receipt?

    We are unable to reprint taxi receipts. This can only be done at the point of transaction in the taxi. We issue trip endorsement letters instead which verify trips made on board our taxis. To obtain an endorsement letter,  please fill up our feedback form, select the  "eReceipt & feedback" > "Receipt" button and fill in the required info of the following trip details

    Note: We only issue endorsement letters if the printer or the MDT is faulty and a printed receipt cannot be issued. Please remember to ask for the printed receipt before alighting. You will only be able to obtain an endorsement letter for a trip made within the last two months. However, in the CDG Zig App, you will be able to retrieve trip details (ride bookings and street-hail trips) for the last 6 months. Simply go to 'Activities', select 'Car Rides' and toggle to 'History'. 

     

    Alternatively, you may manage your receipts for App ride bookings or Pay for Street Hail trips via the CDG Zig App.

  • I had used GrabPay card for ComfortDelgro Taxi Trips but I am unable to match the fares that are charged to the grabpay card. Why is that the case

    It could be because you had cancelled the booking and the reversal of fares is not reflected in the GrabPay Card’s transaction records. Should you encounter such a situation, please contact GrabPay immediately to find out when these charges will be reversed as it depends solely on GrabPay as the card issuer.
