Vehicle cleaning fees for messy cars
10/26/2023
Keep the car clean for the next person! We'll be applying a vehicle cleaning fee for leaving behind a dirty or damaged car such as vomit, excessive trash, and smoking odors. If you self-report the mess during the ride (doesn't include smoking), the initial fee will be $50. For issues that go unreported, we’ll charge riders $100 for the first violation and increase the fee for subsequent violations. Repeat trash and smoking-related violations may also impact your account standing. If you get into a dirty car, please let Support know ASAP. See our Rider Rules for more information.Read more -
