Yandex Taxi support service

By turning to Yandex Taxi services, customers hope to receive quality service and save money. However, sometimes these expectations are not met. When should you complain to passenger service and how to contact them? Clients of a taxi aggregator need to know the step-by-step algorithm of actions that is followed when filing a complaint.

Book of complaints and suggestions.

When is it reasonable to file a complaint?

Any dissatisfied client can complain about a taxi driver. Typically, customer dissatisfaction occurs due to the fault of drivers or due to technical failures of Yandex Taxi software. The most common violation on the part of carriers is inappropriate behavior. In addition to simple rudeness, passengers sometimes encounter the following rudeness:

• with harassment;
• with threats;
• with insults;
• with an unreasonable refusal to travel;
• with delivery to the wrong location;
• taxi being late for a call;
• with deception.

Sometimes, after accepting an order, taxi drivers do not want to carry clients and demand that the service be canceled. At the same time, the drivers themselves are in no hurry to refuse - they protect their ratings in the Yandex Taxi application system. If the customer cancels the call before the car has arrived at point A, his passenger rating will decrease.

If you fall for this trick when the taxi has already arrived, you can waste time and get a fine for canceling the call. If you have suffered in this way, you should file a formal complaint against the carrier.

To earn more than the service allows, some drivers resort to fraud. Complaining is the absolute right of passengers who encounter the following violations:

1. The order is completed, although the service was not actually provided. In this case, the taxi driver finds out the final destination, gets to it, and receives money from the card of the defrauded client. You can find out about such deception by checking the driver’s location using the Yandex Taxi application.
2. The trip is over, but the driver has not completed the order in the Taximeter. In this case, the cost of kilometers that the taxi driver will drive independently after point B is added to the price of the trip.
3. The driver notes too late in the Taximeter that he picked up the passenger from the starting point. In this case, the lost time goes towards the wait, and is ultimately paid in addition to the cost of the trip. The same thing happens when a taxi driver is late for a call or mixes up the departure address.
4. A mark about the start of the trip appeared in the application before the carrier arrived at point A. In this case, the passenger pays for both the order itself and the distance that the taxi driver drove alone.
5. The driver drove the customer in circles or otherwise deviated from the optimal route suggested by the app. The purpose of such fraud is to increase the mileage, and therefore the cost of the trip.
6. The driver accepted the call, but took another passenger instead of the customer. At the same time, taxi drivers also proceed from personal gain.

A complaint should always be filed if the final cost of the trip suspiciously exceeds the original one. You must also inform technical support about the following situations:

1. It is impossible to contact the driver: either his phone is unreachable, or the call is constantly dropped.
2. There were problems with delivery when paying by bank transfer.
3. The driver looks unkempt or smells unpleasant.
4. The taxi driver is under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
5. The car is unsuitable for transporting passengers. We are talking about both the technical problems of the car and the condition of the interior.
6. The driver violates traffic rules, endangering the lives of the passenger and other road users.
7. The customer or another person was injured due to the actions of the driver.

A reason to leave a complaint can also be the taxi driver’s behavior that creates discomfort for the client: smoking, too loud music in the cabin, refusal to close a see-through window. Another reason to complain is the inability to return items left in a taxi.

Driver rudeness is cause for complaint.

Less often than with driver dishonesty, Yandex Taxi customers encounter technical software failures. The support service is informed of the following troubles:

1. About failures when recording completed trips. It may not be displayed at all in the application, or it may appear twice.
2. The fact that the application independently called a taxi.
3. That the order was accepted by several drivers...
4. About the fact that the car was delivered when it was no longer needed.
5. The fact that the trip fee was written off incorrectly.
6. About the fact that it is not possible to link a card to an account in the service.

Before complaining about problems with the software, Yandex Taxi users should check the quality of their Internet connection.

The application has a built-in function for assessing the quality of services. Select the number of stars you would like to rate the trip with, and you can add a review if you wish. Your rating will affect the taxi driver's rating.

The promotional code did not work, what should I do?

A promotional code may not work for several reasons:

1. Its validity period has expired;
2. The code is incorrect;
3. There are problems or technical work is underway.

To solve the problem, write about it in the “Promotional code did not work” section on the Yandex Taxi website. If the problem is due to malfunctions or maintenance, they will help you use the promotional code later.

What payment methods are available?

The service can be paid in cash, by bank card (non-cash payment), via Apple Pay, Google pay.

Payment problems

If the system incorrectly calculated the cost or an incorrect write-off occurred, you can complain through the Yandex taxi website or application. It is also worth contacting if you have problems paying by card, if the driver did not give change when paying in cash, or if there are disagreements regarding payment.

Why doesn't the Yandex Taxi app work?

The service may experience short-term technical glitches. Try reloading the application, placing an order a little later, or ordering a taxi by calling the dispatcher. If the situation does not change, then contact support.

What to do if you forgot things in the car?

If you left your things in the car, call the taxi driver. His phone number is indicated in the Push Notification and is saved in the trip history for 24 hours after the trip is completed.

If you have the corresponding function enabled, then an SMS should have been sent to your phone, which also contained the driver’s phone number. In addition, his phone number must be indicated in the trip report. This function must also be enabled.

If all these methods do not work, contact the Yandex taxi support center by phone or through feedback forms.

According to the rules, drivers are required to report items forgotten in the car to the support service. They are usually deposited with taxi companies.

Here are detailed instructions for this unpleasant case.

other methods

You can complain about a Yandex Taxi driver on forums or review sites. And also in the official group of the service on VKontakte or Facebook.

It is important to know

It’s worth remembering about the post-trip rating in the app. You can also comment there. A complaint against a Yandex Taxi driver will lower his rating in case of unsatisfactory service.

In what cases will the driver be punished?

All received complaints are checked. Technical service employees are conducting a short investigation to resolve the following issues:

1. To what extent is the information received from a dissatisfied client true?
2. How guilty is the driver with whom the customer dealt in the current situation?

In case of technical problems that occurred independently of the driver, he will not be punished. Sanctions will be imposed if the carrier violated the regulatory code, which all Yandex Taxi operators must follow. Complaints confirmed by technical support lower the taxi driver’s rating in the service’s applications, which deprives the driver of the opportunity to accept the most profitable orders. When a carrier's rating falls below 4, its Taximeter account is automatically blocked.

A negligent employee will be able to return to driving only 60 days after the start of the ban. By this time, negative reviews will lose their force and will no longer influence the rating.

Employees who violate the law are permanently denied access to the Taximeter. To hold them accountable, a complaint to technical support is not enough. Such problems are a matter for the court and Rospotrebnadzor.
