Cancellation policy

What happens when plans change

Version 2026-08-01 · cabi.ie/policies/cancellation

Draft — not yet legally reviewed. Written to be consistent with published NTA rules, but not signed off by a solicitor.

Plans change and we would rather know early than have a driver sitting outside. These windows are measured from the agreed pick-up time.

When you cancelYou are chargedWhat we do
More than 12 hours beforeNothingFull refund, back to your card within 5 working days.
12 to 2 hours before50%Half refunded. The driver has already turned down other work for that slot.
Less than 2 hours beforeFull fareNo refund. The driver is committed and travelling.
No-show at pick-upFull fareSee the waiting and no-show policy for how long we wait first.

When you are refunded in full whatever the timing

Changes rather than cancellations

Changing the time or the address is free more than 2 hours before pick-up, as long as the new journey is broadly comparable. If the change makes the journey materially longer, we requote and you pay only the difference. If it makes it shorter, we refund the difference. We do not profit from a change of plan.

If we cancel on you

You are refunded in full and, where it is a CABI failure rather than a safety issue, we cover the reasonable cost of getting you there by other means, up to the value of your fare. Tell us what it cost and we will settle it.
