How do I reset my password?

I had an issue with my ride. How can I let you know?

In light of the current situation, we’re temporarily suspending our ViaVan Amsterdam service. We hope you’re staying healthy and safe.

Oh dear! We’re sorry to hear that there was a problem with your ride. Please let us know what went wrong either by filling out the feedback screen in the app after your ride or by emailing us here

Why is my place pin in the middle of the water?

In light of the current situation, we’re temporarily suspending our ViaVan Amsterdam service. We hope you’re staying healthy and safe.

We’re not quite ready to pilot ViaVan’s shared submarine service, so your map definitely shouldn’t be defaulting to a strange location. Please make sure that Location Services are enabled for the ViaVan app on your phone (Settings - Privacy - Location Services), and that should bring you back to dry land STAT!

 

Can I change my destination once I am in the car?

In light of the current situation, we’re temporarily suspending our ViaVan Amsterdam service. We hope you’re staying healthy and safe.

We get it - mistakes happen, plans change, and sometimes the destination where you booked to is no longer the destination you need to get to.

While we aim to please on every ride, in the event that a change would delay another passenger in the car or awaiting pick up, we can't accommodate requests for changes to drop-offs. You can always shoot us a text mid-ride, and we'll certainly try our best to accommodate your situation. If you haven't gotten on board yet, just cancel the ride and re-book with the new destination!

Note: If you've booked a private ride and need to change your destination, please let us know by text so we can assist right away!

Why don't I always get picked up and dropped off exactly where I request?

In light of the current situation, we’re temporarily suspending our ViaVan Amsterdam service. We hope you’re staying healthy and safe.

As ViaVan is a shared corner-to-corner service, we ask all our members to help contribute to the efficiency of the system by heading to a nearby corner - within a couple of blocks - for their pickup and dropoff, whether you’re sharing a ride or booking a Private ViaVan. This is how we are able to pickup multiple passengers without adding a significant amount of time to each rider’s journey. It saves you time, and at our low rates, it saves you money!

 

Where can I see my past rides and purchases?

In light of the current situation, we’re temporarily suspending our ViaVan Amsterdam service. We hope you’re staying healthy and safe.

You can view any past rides and purchases right in your app under "Menu" - "History."

 

My driver left without me!

In light of the current situation, we’re temporarily suspending our ViaVan Amsterdam service. We hope you’re staying healthy and safe.

Oh no - we're sorry we didn't get you on board!

If you were marked as a "No Show" and you still need a ride, please re-book directly in your app, and email us here so we can look into what went wrong.

If your app is indicating that you were picked up, please text our Live Support Team directly by replying to any message we have sent you, so we can cancel that ride and make sure you are able to re-book.

Oops, I forgot to press +1

In light of the current situation, we’re temporarily suspending our ViaVan Amsterdam service. We hope you’re staying healthy and safe.

Not to worry! Just send a quick text to our Live Support Team by replying to any text message you receive from us, and we'll adjust it for you right away. Keep in mind, this may impact the cost of your ride.

Why did I get charged a No Show fee?

In light of the current situation, we’re temporarily suspending our ViaVan Amsterdam service. We hope you’re staying healthy and safe.

ViaVan is a shared service, so to keep things fair to the members already on board, our driver partners will wait about 1 minute for each rider. At that point, we'll try to get in touch with you, but if after a minute you're not at the car, we'll have to move on and you may be assessed a €3 fee.

If you ever have trouble locating your ride, you can contact the driver partner directly through the app by pressing the small green phone icon located on the right, at the bottom of the screen. You can also send a quick text message to our Live Support Team by replying to the text message we sent you about your vehicle's arrival.

We'll do our best to get you on board!

Why didn't I receive my referral credit yet?

In light of the current situation, we’re temporarily suspending our ViaVan Amsterdam service. We hope you’re staying healthy and safe.

First of all, thank you for helping to spread the word about ViaVan! If you haven’t received any Ride Credit yet, check with the member you referred to make sure they signed up with your personal promo code. If they forgot to enter it, they can enter it later on by going into the "Menu" - "Promo Codes" section of the app.

If they’ve entered your code, it may be that they haven’t completed a ride yet. Ride Credit is only granted once the new rider completes their first ride, so get them in a ViaVan ASAP!

If both those things check out and you still haven’t received any Ride Credit, please shoot us an email us here and we’ll take a peek.

*Up to a maximum of €150 of Ride Credit per ViaVan account. ViaVan reserves the right to expire referral Ride Credit at its discretion.

 **Terms of Use: The intended purpose of ViaVan referral codes is to be shared with friends, family, and on personal social media networks only with individuals known personally to the referring rider. Posting referral codes on commercial websites or coupon aggregator websites, including (but not limited to) RetailMeNot, Born to Coupon and CouponMate is strictly prohibited and will result in referral credit being revoked at ViaVan’s discretion, and ViaVan reserves the right to charge individuals for any rides paid for with referral credit obtained through the creation of new accounts created by that same individual. Using a ViaVan referral code to refer new accounts created by one same individual is also strictly prohibited and will also result in referral credit being revoked at ViaVan’s discretion. ViaVan reserves the right to prevent referrals from being completed, and to revoke any referral credit obtained, when the ViaVan system determines that accounts are likely to have been created by the same individual (e.g. if the system identifies certain overlapping data/information between the accounts). In addition, ViaVan reserves the right to revoke any referral credit likely to have been obtained for referrals of fraudulent accounts (including accounts set up with false personal or payment information), as determined by the ViaVan system. ViaVan reserves the right to change any codes which it determines have been compromised and remove individuals from its referral program at its discretion.

ViaVan referral credit is granted for use in ViaVan’s operating zone at the time the credit is granted. As ViaVan’s operating zone changes, ViaVan reserves the right to change the way in which ViaVan credit may be used. ViaVan reserves the right to allow existing credit to apply to areas outside of its current operating zone subject to any conditions and restrictions it may impose in its sole discretion. ViaVan reserves the right to control the amount of credit that a rider is permitted to use on any individual ride. All referral credit has an expiry date of 30 days. This means that ViaVan has the right to revoke any referral credit that has not been used more than 30 days. Starting on 1st January 2019, a maximum amount of €5 per ride may be redeemed from referral credit.

The app isn't recognizing my pickup location!

In light of the current situation, we’re temporarily suspending our ViaVan Amsterdam service. We hope you’re staying healthy and safe.

When you book a ride, our system will generally propose a pickup location within two blocks or an avenue away. If the app is moving your pick up just a little ways away, that’s just our system working its magic.

Is your pick up being moved to nowhere near where you want it? Try using the place pins! These are the easiest and most precise way to set your pick up and drop off in the ViaVan app. Simply drag the map around until the blue pickup icon is at your desired spot, and then select "Set Pick Up."

Why do I see "Braintree" on my credit card statement?

In light of the current situation, we’re temporarily suspending our ViaVan Amsterdam service. We hope you’re staying healthy and safe.

While most charges from ViaVan will appear on your bank statement as "ViaVan," your charge card's bank will ultimately determine exactly how the charge appears on a statement.

ViaVan uses Braintree, an online payment processor owned by PayPal, to process transactions. Numerous other businesses use Braintree as well, but the name of the store or merchant charging you will appear on your statement once the transaction is finalized by your bank, typically within 7 days.

You can find more information directly through Braintree here!


If you have any questions about charges on your card you believe come from ViaVan, please contact us here.
