Premium Tesla TaxiRefund Policy
Because we operate a single car, every booking reserves the vehicle exclusively for you. These rules explain when a prepaid fare is refunded.
1. One rule for cash, Zelle and card
Cancelling is always possible. There is no cancellation block, and the same rule applies to every payment method: cash, Zelle and card.
The rule depends on one moment only: when the driver taps “Start Live Tracking” on their driver page. At that moment you receive the SMS that the driver has departed, together with your live tracking link.
2. Before the driver starts live tracking — free
Cancel before the driver starts live tracking and nothing is charged. There is no cancellation fee.
Card payments are refunded in full to the same card. For cash and Zelle rides, the amount frozen on your guarantee card is released.
Cancelling also releases your time slot immediately so another customer can book it.
3. After the driver starts live tracking — full fare charged
Once live tracking has started you can still cancel, but the full fare is charged: to your guarantee card for cash and Zelle rides, and to your card on file (or kept, if already paid) for card rides.
The same applies to a no-show. The charge is refunded in full if the cancellation was caused by the driver being late.
Cash and Zelle rides — card guarantee
Cash and Zelle bookings are secured with a card that must be entered before the booking is created. The fare is frozen on the card as a guarantee and is not charged.
If you take the ride, the hold is released and you pay in cash or by Zelle.
Cancelling your booking yourself
You can cancel your own booking at any time on this website at /cancel, using your 8-character booking reference and the phone number or email address you booked with.
The page tells you straight away whether your cancellation is free or whether the full fare will be charged.
4. No-shows
If the passenger does not appear within the free waiting period (15 minutes for standard pickups, 45 minutes after landing for airports) and cannot be reached, the fare is non-refundable.
5. Cancellations by us
If we have to cancel your ride for any reason — vehicle issue, illness or an emergency — you receive a full refund, and we will help you find an alternative where possible.
6. Price differences and service issues
If the final route is materially shorter than quoted, the difference is refunded. If you were charged twice for the same ride, the duplicate charge is refunded in full.
If something went wrong with your trip, contact us within 7 days and we will review it individually.
7. How refunds are paid
Refunds are issued to the original card through Square and normally appear within 5–10 business days, depending on your bank.
To request a refund, contact +1 (949) 269-6486 or reservations@premiumteslataxi.com with your booking name, date and time.
