Easy Matatu uses online technology to ensure the safety of our riders and drivers before, during, and after every ride. When you are online, your vehicle’s route and location are tracked by GPS.

Commuters and drivers are required to verify personal information when setting up their accounts. This private information is confidential and retained to confirm identity.

When you are on your way to a pick-up location or destination, the commuter app displays your photo, your name and the vehicles license plate number

Here is what you need to know before you cancel a ride at Easy Matatu.

The good news is you can book a ride at any time before the ride but the bad news is you cannot cancel a ride whenever you want to,  so before you cancel that ride, here are some things you need to consider.

Easy Matatu offers you a cancellation window of 10 minutes immediately after you make a booking. If you cancel your booking within this 10-minute window you will get a full refund for the cost of the ride if you paid using your wallet. However, any cancellation after the 10-minute window will cost you the full amount whether you have booked by cash or wallet.

Once you have made a booking you have an hour-window before the ride departure to cancel. When you do this you get a full refund and no penalties will be rendered to you. Isn’t that great! However, when you cancel your booking less than an hour to departure, you will get charged the full amount for the booking even if you did travel with us.

This cancellation policy applies to all cash and wallet bookings done using the Easy Matatu app or the toll-free number.

If you feel you were unfairly charged you can always reach out to us at our toll-free number 0800 220 745 or send us an email at support@easymatatu.com
