Frequently asked questions

Can I choose a different location from the one suggested?

Yes. Simply move the pin to the area where you want to be picked up.

Why is the red area on the map not allowing me to set my pin?

Certain zones have areas where pick-ups are not allowed. These could be cases where the app will block and highlight the zone to indicate that the pin needs to be set in a different location.

Can I change my location after setting it?

Yes. Rather than cancel your request, simply change your location. Type in a new address or drag your pin to a location on the map, and confirm it. Get more details about how to adjust your location here.
