Rider made a mess

If a rider made a mess inside your vehicle that requires professional cleaning, let us know here and we’ll review the incident.

In some cases we may be able to charge the rider and reimburse you for the cost of cleaning.

You may be asked to provide additional details to confirm your eligibility for reimbursement.

Let us know if a rider damaged your vehicle beyond a typical mess or normal wear and tear.
