2. Nature and Delivery of the Service

No physical products are sold or delivered through Voyest.

The service provided is a scheduled transfer or hourly chauffeured vehicle service performed according to the date, time, pickup location, destination, service duration and vehicle class selected by the User.

The submission of a ride request by the User does not mean that the reservation has been confirmed.

The reservation shall be confirmed only after:

  • A suitable driver or carrier accepts the request,
  • The required payment verification or pre-authorization transaction is successfully completed,
  • Confirmation of the reservation is communicated to the User.

The service shall be provided at the date, time and pickup location specified in the reservation confirmation. The service shall be deemed delivered and performed upon completion of the journey.

3. Service Fee and Additional Expenses

The base service fee displayed during the reservation process includes taxes unless otherwise stated.

For transfer services, the base price is fixed for the pickup and destination locations specified at the time of reservation. Ordinary traffic conditions or the use of an alternative route for safety reasons shall not change the base price.

The following amounts may be added to the base service fee:

  • Toll bridge, motorway and tunnel charges,
  • Parking and ferry charges,
  • Additional stops requested by the User,
  • Changes to the pickup location or destination,
  • Additional waiting time,
  • Excess duration or mileage in hourly services,
  • Other additional services requested by the User.

Additional expenses actually incurred shall be added to the total amount at the end of the journey.

4. Pre-Authorization

The actual journey price is not charged when the ride request is initially submitted.

When a suitable driver accepts the request, a pre-authorization transaction may be placed on the payment card selected by the User.

Pre-authorization does not constitute a final charge to the card. The specified amount is temporarily blocked against the User’s available card limit.

If the pre-authorization transaction is unsuccessful, the reservation may not be confirmed and the driver assignment may be cancelled.

The pre-authorization amount may be used for the collection of:

  • The final amount determined at the end of the journey,
  • A chargeable cancellation fee,
  • A no-show fee.

5. Final Charge at the End of the Journey

The actual total amount shall be calculated upon completion of the journey.

The total amount may consist of:

  • The base reservation fee,
  • Toll road and parking expenses actually incurred,
  • Additional stops and route changes,
  • Excess duration, mileage or waiting time,
  • Other additional services requested by the User.

Depending on the technical operation of the payment infrastructure, the final amount may be captured from the pre-authorization amount, or the pre-authorization may be released and the actual total amount may be charged separately through 3D Secure.

The User shall not be charged more than once for the same service.

Where the final amount is lower than the pre-authorization amount, only the applicable amount shall be charged and instructions shall be sent to the payment service provider to release the remaining blocked amount.

Where the final amount exceeds the pre-authorization amount, the User may be requested to make an additional payment or provide 3D Secure approval for the difference.

6. Free Cancellation

The User may cancel the reservation free of charge at least 30 minutes before the scheduled journey start time.

In the event of free cancellation:

  • No service or cancellation fee shall be charged.
  • Where a pre-authorization exists, instructions shall be sent for the full amount to be released.
  • Where a service fee has already been charged, the refund process shall be initiated.

The cancellation time shall be determined based on the time at which the User’s cancellation request reaches Voyest’s systems.

7. Chargeable Cancellation

Where the User cancels the reservation less than 30 minutes before the scheduled journey start time, 50% of the reservation amount on which the pre-authorization was based shall be charged as a cancellation fee.

Example:

If the amount on which the pre-authorization was based is TRY 1,000, a cancellation fee of TRY 500 shall be charged. Instructions shall be sent to the payment service provider to release the remaining TRY 500.

In the event of a chargeable cancellation, the full reservation amount shall not be charged. Only the applicable 50% cancellation fee shall be collected.

Where toll road, bridge, motorway or parking expenses have actually been incurred before cancellation, such expenses may be charged separately.

8. Cancellation After the Driver Has Departed

Once the driver has selected “On My Way” or an equivalent journey status, cancellation must be completed through the active journey screen or Voyest support channels.

Cancellations made at this stage shall be subject to the applicable chargeable cancellation conditions based on the time of cancellation.

Toll road or parking expenses actually incurred by the driver while travelling to the pickup location may be charged separately to the User.

9. No-Show

When the driver arrives at the pickup location, the driver shall select “I’m Here” or an equivalent status through the application.

A 15-minute waiting period shall begin following this notification.

The reservation may be closed as a no-show in any of the following circumstances:

  • The Passenger does not arrive within the 15-minute waiting period,
  • The User or Passenger cannot be contacted,
  • The User has provided an incorrect telephone number or pickup location,
  • The Passenger does not meet the required documentation or service conditions,
  • The Passenger fails to attend the service without completing a cancellation,
  • The Passenger refuses to enter the vehicle or use the service.

In the event of a no-show, 50% of the reservation amount on which the pre-authorization was based shall be charged as a no-show fee.

Instructions shall be sent to the payment service provider to release the remaining pre-authorization amount.

Example:

Where the pre-authorization amount is TRY 1,000:

  • TRY 500 shall be charged as a no-show fee.
  • The remaining TRY 500 shall be released.

A no-show fee may only be applied after the driver has confirmed arrival at the pickup location and the 15-minute waiting period has expired.

10. Cancellation Caused by the Driver or Voyest

No cancellation fee shall be charged to the User where the reservation cannot be performed due to:

  • Voyest,
  • The driver,
  • The fleet operator,
  • The authorized carrier,
  • An operational error,
  • The unavailability of a suitable vehicle.

In such circumstances:

  • Instructions shall be sent for the full pre-authorization amount to be released.
  • Any service fee already charged shall be refunded in full.
  • Where possible, the User may be offered an equivalent or higher-class replacement vehicle.

The User is not required to accept the alternative service.

11. Failure to Provide the Service or Defective Performance

Where the service is not provided due to a reason attributable to Voyest or the carrier performing the service, no service fee shall be charged to the User.

Where payment has already been collected, the full amount shall be refunded.

Any allegation that the service was provided incompletely or defectively shall be assessed based on the reservation and journey records. The User’s rights arising under applicable consumer legislation are reserved.

12. Flight Delays

For airport transfers, the User must provide the correct flight number.

Where the correct flight number has been provided, Voyest may, subject to operational availability, monitor the flight delay and update the service time accordingly.

Where the flight number is incorrect or incomplete, or where the delay cannot be communicated, the standard waiting time and no-show conditions may apply.

Additional waiting charges displayed in the application may apply where the free waiting period is exceeded.

13. Force Majeure

Natural disasters, war, acts of terrorism, civil unrest, decisions of public authorities, road closures, extraordinary weather conditions, epidemics, strikes, widespread communication or payment system outages and similar events beyond the control of the parties may constitute force majeure.

Where the service cannot be provided due to force majeure:

  • Instructions shall be sent for the pre-authorization amount to be released.
  • Any amount charged for which no service was provided shall be refunded.
  • The User shall be informed as soon as reasonably possible.

14. Right of Withdrawal and Reservation Cancellation

The services offered through Voyest are passenger transportation services scheduled for a specific date, time and route.

Accordingly, the general 14-day unconditional right of withdrawal does not apply to reservations. The User’s cancellation rights are subject to the free and chargeable cancellation conditions set out in this document.

This provision shall not eliminate the User’s statutory rights where the service is not provided or is provided defectively.

15. Release of Pre-Authorization

The release of a pre-authorization and a refund are separate transactions.

When a pre-authorization is released, no previously charged amount is returned. Instead, instructions are sent to the payment service provider and the card-issuing bank to release the amount temporarily blocked against the User’s available card limit.

The time required for the released amount to appear on the card or available limit may vary depending on the processing times of the card-issuing bank.

Any delay caused by the bank after Voyest has submitted the pre-authorization release instruction is outside Voyest’s direct control.

16. Refund Process

A refund of an amount already charged shall be made to the card or payment method originally used for payment.

Refunds cannot be made to a different card, bank account or third party.

Once the refund has been approved by Voyest, the instruction shall be submitted to the payment service provider without undue delay.

The time required for the refund to appear on the card or account may vary depending on:

  • The card-issuing bank,
  • The type of card,
  • The payment service provider’s processing time,
  • The bank’s internal procedures.

The submission of a refund instruction by Voyest does not guarantee that the amount will appear immediately on the card statement or account.

17. Partial Refund

A partial refund may be issued in the following circumstances:

  • An incorrect amount was charged,
  • An additional expense that did not occur was charged,
  • Part of the service could not be provided,
  • A price adjustment is made in favour of the User,
  • An amount exceeding the applicable cancellation or no-show fee was charged.

A partial refund may not exceed the total amount collected.

18. Cancellation and Refund Applications

The User may submit a cancellation or refund request through the following channels:

Mobile Application: Reservation or active journey screen

Telephone: +90 212 238 39 37

19. Disputes and Entry into Force

Users may apply to Consumer Arbitration Committees or Consumer Courts within the applicable monetary limits prescribed by law.

These Conditions shall enter into force upon being electronically accepted by the User before the reservation.

The reservation date, time, route, price, vehicle class, pre-authorization amount and additional fee information form an integral part of these Conditions.
