🎯 GOAL: Get full refund for a completed ride
No return needed. No deep investigation. This is a language + timing game.
✅ Best Scenarios for Refund:
Driver never showed up, ride marked as complete
Driver dropped you off wrong place / ended trip early
Driver was aggressive / unsafe
Double charge or “phantom ride”
App crashed, couldn’t cancel in time
🧠 High-Success Claim Example (Copy-Paste):
Subject: Ride Issue – Charged but never received service
Message:
Hi,
I was charged for a ride today, but the driver never arrived.
I waited outside the whole time, and suddenly the app said the trip was complete.
I tried to contact the driver but got no response.
Please review and issue a refund – I didn’t receive the service.
Thanks.
💬 Alternate Claim (Driver Issue):
Subject: Safety Concern – Trip ID #XXXX
Message:
Hi,
I had a bad experience with the driver.
The vehicle didn’t match the app, and the driver was acting strange.
I didn’t feel safe and had to get out early.
I’d like to request a refund for this trip.
Thank you.
📉 Key Tactics:
Factor Rule
Time to file Within 12h of trip – ideally within 2h
Language Polite, calm, factual – no exaggeration
Photos? Not needed – avoid adding extra info
Trip location Urban / high-traffic = more believable
Account status Better chance on accounts with no refund history
Multiple refunds Wait 1–2 weeks between each
Payment method Credit card > PayPal > gift cards
❌ Don't Say:
“Scam”
“Refund me now or I’ll report”
“The driver stole from me” (unless you're reporting for real)
Anything that sounds dramatic or fake
🧠 Optional Boost (Advanced):
If they say no →
Send follow-up with:
“Please double-check GPS data – I was at pickup point the entire time. I understand mistakes happen, I just want this resolved.”
