Why a Hail May Be Canceled

Modified on Thu, 15 Jan at 9:24 PM

A hail can be canceled for several reasons. Cancellations may be initiated by the hailer, the driver, or the system.

Understanding why a hail was canceled can help you decide what to do next.


1. Hailer Canceled the Hail

If you canceled the hail yourself:

  • The hail will appear under Trips → Cancelled

  • No funds are deducted if the hail did not start

This is the most common and expected type of cancellation.


2. Driver Canceled the Hail

A driver may cancel a hail due to:

  • Traffic or road conditions

  • Vehicle issues

  • Inability to reach the hailer’s location

  • Safety or compliance concerns

If this happens:

  • The hail moves to Trips → Cancelled

  • You can request a new hail immediately

No charges are applied for driver-initiated cancellations.


3. No Driver Accepted the Hail

If no driver accepts your hail within a certain time:

  • The system may cancel the hail automatically

  • This usually happens during low availability or high demand

You can retry after waiting a few minutes.


4. App or Connectivity Issues

A hail may cancel if:

  • Internet connectivity is lost

  • The app is closed or crashes during booking

  • Location services stop responding

Reopen the app and try again once your connection is stable.


5. Wallet or Authorization Issue

If your wallet balance changes during the request:

  • The hail may be canceled automatically

  • This ensures payment can be completed properly

Check your wallet balance before retrying.


What to Do After a Hail Is Canceled

  1. Check Trips → Cancelled for details

  2. Confirm your wallet balance

  3. Ensure location services are enabled

  4. Request a new hail when ready

Availability can change quickly.
