While some people use their vehicles to go to college, school, office, or other places, a large number of people use public transport. Whereas, many people prefer to travel by cab to save time and for safety. Booking a cab is very easy these days. There are many types of mobile apps with the help of which you can book a cab to wherever you want. If you also travel by cab, then you must be aware of the fact that many times the cab driver asks people to cancel the ride and come along. What happens is that the money goes directly into the driver's pocket and he does not have to pay commission to the cab company. At the same time, people also accept what they say without thinking. But is it right to do so? Maybe you do not know about this, so let us know why such a mistake should not be made. You can know about this in the next slides...
Why should one not travel after canceling the ride?
Primary reason
First of all, you should not cancel the cab and travel in the same driver's car because according to the company's app, you have canceled the ride. In such a situation, if something goes wrong with you, you cannot hold the company responsible. Therefore, always travel by cab only after booking a ride.
Second reason
Understand that when you book a ride and travel by cab, your live location can be traced. Not only this, but someone close to you can also see where you are because nowadays such options are available in cab apps. In such a situation, one mistake by the driver can cost him dearly. But if you cancel the ride and travel, it may be difficult to trace you.
Third reason
Whenever you travel through a company's cab, the company insures you. Under this, if any accident happens during the journey, you can get the benefit of this insurance. But if you cancel the ride and travel, then you cannot avail the benefit of insurance in case of an accident.
What should be done?
Do not cancel the ride due to the driver's advice and do not travel with him.
If a driver asks to cancel a ride, report it to the company
While traveling, share your live location with your family, friends, etc.
Avoid traveling in any cab, always travel only by cabs of trusted companies, etc.
