Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by Malta Taxi.
As between you and Malta Taxi, Malta Taxi reserves the right to establish or adjust Charges for any or all services or goods obtained through the use of the Services at any time. Malta Taxi will use reasonable efforts to inform you of Charges that may apply, provided that you will be responsible for Charges incurred under your Account regardless of your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof. Certain users may from time to time receive promotional offers and discounts that may result in different amounts charged for the same or similar services or goods obtained through the use of the Services, and you agree that such promotional offers and discounts, unless also made available to you, shall have no bearing on your use of the Services or the Charges applied to you.

4. Refund Policy
We hope that every trip you book through the Malta Taxi app goes without issue but we understand that sometimes things happen. If a trip you take does not meet your expectations, you can share your feedback by rating your driver in the app; and if you believe there was an error with your price or a more serious issue occurred on your trip, you can report it to our support team. In some cases, your report may be covered by our Rider Refund Policy.
We want you to know what to expect when you report issues, so we are sharing examples of when you may be eligible to receive a full or partial refund of the price you paid. If you have an issue on a trip, let us know within 30 days. All requests will be evaluated at Malta Taxi’s sole discretion, and on a case-by-case basis.
When are you may be eligible to receive a full or partial refund include:
- A fare or fee was charged in error or your trip experienced a technical issue, like an eligible promotion not applying correctly.
- Your trip price was significantly higher than the estimate you were shown in the app prior to booking, and it was not due to added stops, or a changed destination.
- Your trip was not completed within a reasonable walking distance to your requested destination.
- You or the intended rider did not take the trip or there are other fraud concerns.
When am I not eligible to receive a full or partial refund?
- An issue related to the vehicle quality or the type of vehicle dispatched for your trip.
- An issue with a driver not meeting your quality expectations.
- An issue that was caused by user error, like requesting the wrong type of vehicle
