At a glance
- •More than 3 hours before pick-up: full refund / free reschedule.
- •Within 3 hours of pick-up: generally non-refundable, except where required under Australian Consumer Law.
- •No-show / not reachable / car not accessible: generally non-refundable.

How to Cancel or Reschedule

What This Covers
This policy covers the Drivlet service fee for scheduled pick-up and return of your vehicle (including any distance/zone fee). If your workshop timing changes, we'll work with you to adjust the return time where possible.
Refund and Rescheduling Rules
Before pick-up happens: the 3-hour rule above applies based on the start of your pick-up time window (subject to Australian Consumer Law).
After pick-up is completed: the Drivlet service fee is generally non-refundable because the service has already been performed and costs have been incurred, except where required under Australian Consumer Law.
Return timing changes: if the workshop is not ready when expected, we will coordinate a revised return window. This is usually treated as a reschedule (no extra charge where reasonable, subject to availability).
No Refund When We Can't Proceed Due to Customer Fault
The Drivlet service fee is generally non-refundable if we cannot complete the service due to:
- •You are not present to hand over/receive keys.
- •You are not reachable when contact is needed.
- •The vehicle is blocked in, in a locked area, or access instructions are incorrect.
- •Keys are not available, or the vehicle can't be operated due to undisclosed requirements.
- •Access conditions are unsafe or impractical.
- •The vehicle cannot be safely or lawfully driven.
- •Information provided is materially incorrect.
If Handover Fails (Our Standard Process)
- •Make 2 call attempts and send 2 SMS messages.
- •Wait up to 10 minutes where reasonable and safe.
- •Record evidence (time, location, notes and photos).
- •If we still cannot proceed, the booking may be marked "Unable to Proceed" and the service fee will generally be non-refundable.
If Drivlet Cancels
If we cancel due to our own fault (for example, driver unavailability), we will provide a full refund of the Drivlet service fee unless you choose to reschedule instead.
Refund Processing
Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method unless otherwise agreed. Processing times vary depending on your bank/payment provider.
Australian Consumer Law
Nothing in this policy is intended to exclude, restrict or modify any consumer guarantees or rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law or other laws that cannot be excluded.
