How are penalties defined at Wheely?

Penalties can affect both your diamonds and acceptance rate.

  • Late Release Penalty (unassign me) — 20 diamonds penalty, if prebook release in less than 12 hours before pickup time.

  • No Accept — 30 diamonds penalty + acceptance rate lowered.

  • Unfulfilled Journey Penalty (unassign me) — 35 diamonds penalty + acceptance rate lowered

  • Late pickup for prebook — 25 diamonds penalty.

Examples

  • If a journey is scheduled for 13:00 on Jan 1, a Late Release Penalty will apply if the prebook is released after 01:00:00 on Dec 31.

  • If a journey is scheduled for 15:00 and you’ve prepared the vehicle, positioned yourself to wait for the passenger, and pressed “Arrived” at 14:49:59, no penalty will be applied.

  • If you press “Arrived” at 15:00:01 for a journey scheduled at 15:00, a diamond penalty will be applied.

Are there exceptions to being penalised?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can occur, therefore no penalties will only be applied in the following cases:

  • Late to a released job — If you were assigned a journey released by another chauffeur, being late will not apply any penalties.

  • Passenger changes — If the passenger changes locations or time that will not ensure a timely pickup, penalties will not apply.

  • ‘Off-menu’ passenger requests — If the passenger makes requests you cannot fulfil, eg. child seat for S-class, penalties will not apply

  • Already on a Wheely journey — If you are on another Wheely ASAP-only journey, penalties will not apply.

  • Late Pickup Penalty will not apply to Airport Pick-ups due to the dynamic nature of flight arrival times. However, please continue to monitor flight statuses, for Airport Pickups.
