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?
Down Small Certain zones have areas where pickups 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?
Down Small 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.
