Quick guidance

Start with the right topic

Availability, pricing, ride types, payment options, and support workflows may vary by market and release stage.

Booking

Requesting and managing a ride

How do I request a ride?+

When rider access is available in your market, open the AkiGO rider experience, enter your pickup and destination, review the available ride options, choose a payment method, and confirm the request.

Can I book a ride from the website?+

The marketing website does not currently provide live web booking. Ride requests are intended to be handled through the AkiGO rider experience when available.

Can I schedule a ride in advance?+

Scheduled ride availability may depend on the market, service type, pickup area, and driver availability. The rider experience will show whether scheduling is available for the requested trip.

Can I change my pickup or destination after booking?+

Available trip changes depend on the ride status and app workflow. If an edit option is not available, the rider may need to cancel and create a new request.

How will I know when a driver is assigned?+

The rider experience is designed to show driver assignment, pickup progress, estimated arrival information, and trip-status updates when a driver has accepted the request.

Why might a ride request take longer than expected?+

Wait time can be affected by driver availability, distance, traffic, weather, special ride requirements, market coverage, and controlled-rollout limits.

Pricing

Understanding ride estimates and charges

Will I see the price before confirming?+

The rider experience is intended to present an estimated or upfront price before confirmation when the required trip information is available.

Why can prices change?+

Pricing may reflect distance, estimated time, ride type, demand, traffic, weather, airport or event conditions, scheduled service, and other market factors.

Does the website show live ride prices?+

No. The marketing website does not provide live fare quotes. Current ride pricing is shown inside the rider experience when booking is available.

Are tolls, airport fees, or other charges included?+

Applicable tolls, airport charges, taxes, regulatory fees, waiting charges, or other trip-related amounts may be included or added according to the booking details and applicable policy.

What ride options may be available?+

Available ride types can vary by market and vehicle supply. The rider experience will show the options that are actually available for the requested trip.

Payments

Payment methods, wallet activity, and refunds

What payment methods can I use?+

Supported methods may include eligible payment cards, AkiGO wallet balance, and device-based payment options where enabled.

When is my payment method charged?+

Payment timing can depend on the payment method and trip workflow. A payment may be authorized before dispatch and completed or adjusted after the trip according to the final eligible charge.

Can I use wallet balance?+

Eligible riders may use available AkiGO wallet balance when the wallet option is enabled and the balance is sufficient for the requested transaction.

What happens if my payment fails?+

The rider experience may ask for another payment method or prevent confirmation until a valid payment method is available. A failed payment can also require follow-up before future requests.

How are refunds handled?+

Refund eligibility depends on the trip status, cancellation timing, payment method, final charge, and applicable policy. Approved refunds may take additional time to appear depending on the payment provider.

Where can I review payment activity?+

Eligible wallet, payment, refund, and trip-charge activity is intended to appear in the rider account or wallet activity area.

Cancellations

Changing plans and refund review

Can I cancel a ride?+

A rider may cancel through the available trip controls before or during eligible trip stages. The app should show the applicable action and any relevant warning before confirmation.

Will I be charged a cancellation fee?+

A cancellation fee may apply depending on when the ride is cancelled, whether a driver has been assigned, the driver’s progress, waiting time, and the applicable policy.

What if I cancel before a driver is assigned?+

Cancellation before driver assignment may be eligible for a full release or refund, subject to the payment status and applicable policy.

What if the driver is already on the way?+

Cancellation after assignment may be reviewed differently because the driver may already be traveling toward the pickup.

What if the driver cancels?+

The rider experience may return the request to dispatch, attempt reassignment, or end the request depending on the trip state and available coverage.

Safety

Safety tools and incident guidance

What should I do in an emergency?+

Call local emergency services immediately when there is immediate danger. Use AkiGO safety or support tools afterward when it is safe to do so.

Can I share my trip?+

The rider experience may provide trip-sharing tools so selected contacts can receive relevant trip information where the feature is available.

How do I report a safety concern?+

Use the in-app safety or support workflow and provide accurate trip details, messages, photos, and other relevant information. Do not use a standard support form for an active emergency.

Are drivers reviewed before approval?+

Driver onboarding may include identity, license, vehicle, insurance, driving-record, background, and market-specific review steps where applicable.

What information should I verify before entering the vehicle?+

Compare the driver, vehicle, plate, and trip information shown in the rider experience with the arriving vehicle before entering.

Accessibility

Accessible ride needs and feedback

Can I request accessibility-related assistance?+

Available assistance depends on the market, vehicle supply, service category, and the details provided during booking. Riders should add accurate requirements before confirming when the option is available.

Can I travel with a service animal?+

Service-animal handling must follow applicable law and AkiGO policy. Riders should provide relevant information through the booking or support workflow when needed.

Can I bring a wheelchair or mobility device?+

Vehicle compatibility depends on the size and type of mobility device, available cargo space, and whether an accessible vehicle option is available in the market.

How do I report an accessibility problem?+

Use the accessibility feedback or contact workflow and include the page, feature, trip, device, and assistive technology details needed to understand the issue.

Does AkiGO guarantee accessible vehicle availability?+

No. Availability can vary by market, time, vehicle supply, and service type. The rider experience should show only options that are currently available.

Support

Getting help with your rider experience

How do I contact rider support?+

Use the AkiGO Help Center, Contact page, or in-app support workflow when available. Choose the inquiry type that best matches the account, trip, payment, or safety issue.

What information should I include?+

Include the rider account email, relevant trip or payment reference, date, approximate time, pickup or destination details, and a clear description of the issue. Do not send passwords or complete payment-card numbers.

Where can I get help with a refund?+

Use the payment or trip-support category and include the relevant transaction or trip information so the request can be reviewed.

What if I cannot sign in?+

Use the account-support workflow and provide the email or phone number associated with the rider account. Do not create multiple accounts to work around an access problem.

Is support available 24/7?+

AkiGO should not claim continuous support coverage unless that service is operational. Available support channels and response expectations will be shown in the applicable experience.
