Cancellation and Refund Policy

Effective Date: 08 August 2024

General Policy Overview

At Wheelz Connect, we strive to ensure a fair and transparent cancellation and refund process for both renters and hosts. Hosts have the flexibility to create their own cancellation and refund policies. If a host does not specify their own policy, the Wheelz Connect default cancellation and refund policy will apply.

For Renters

Host-Specified Policy

  • Adherence to Host Policy: Renters must adhere to the specific cancellation and refund policy set by the host. This policy will be clearly stated in the vehicle listing and booking confirmation.
  • Notification: The policy will be clearly stated in the vehicle listing and booking confirmation.

Wheelz Connect Default Policy

  • Cancellation Before 7 Days: Full refund minus a 10% administrative fee.
  • Cancellation Between 3 to 7 Days: 50% refund of the total rental amount.
  • Cancellation Within 3 Days: No refund will be provided.
  • No-Show: No refund will be provided.

Refund Process

For Hosts

Host-Specified Policy

  • Custom Policies: Hosts can create their own cancellation and refund policies, which must be clearly stated in the vehicle listing.
  • Policy Enforcement: Hosts are responsible for enforcing their own cancellation policies. Any disputes or issues arising from these policies should be resolved between the host and the renter, with Wheelz Connect support available if needed.

If a host does not specify a cancellation and refund policy, the Wheelz Connect default policy will apply:

Special Circumstances

Extenuating Circumstances

  • Natural Disasters, Illness, or Unforeseen Events: Both renters and hosts can apply for a full refund if cancellations are due to extenuating circumstances such as natural disasters, severe illness, or other unforeseen events. Proof of the extenuating circumstance may be required.
  • Approval Process: Each request will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Contact Wheelz Connect customer support for assistance.

Dispute Resolution

  • Mediation: Wheelz Connect offers mediation services for any disputes arising from cancellations and refunds. Both parties must agree to participate in mediation.
