What can we help you with?

My driver was great! How can I thank them?

Via is no longer providing rides in New York City. If you have any questions, please see our FAQ page here.

Our driver partners are the butter to our bread. Simply put, they’re the best! If you had a great experience with a driver, please let us know by filling out the feedback screen after your ride or by leaving a tip through the app.

 

How do I retrieve something left in a Via?

Via is no longer providing rides in New York City. If you have any questions, please see our FAQ page here.

We’ve all been there, and we feel for ya! As soon as you realize an item is missing, navigate to the app menu (by tapping the three parallel lines in the top left corner of the app screen) and tap on the "Help Center" at the bottom of the menu list.

There you can tap on the option "I left something in my Via!" On the following screen, you will see the details of your most recent ride. If your driver partner is still on the road with Via, you can opt to receive a phone number through which to contact and coordinate with the driver partner directly to determine if they have your lost item in their vehicle and, if so, how they can return it to you.

If the driver partner is not driving with Via at the moment, you will be given the option to contact Via Support for further assistance on finding your lost item.

If you left your item in a Via ride other than your most recent ride, you can select "Not this ride? Go to Ride History >>" to navigate to your Ride History and contact Via Support about the correct ride.

If you don't have your phone handy, you can also email us here, and we’ll put you in touch with your driver partner to track it down! Please note, unclaimed items will be donated after 30 days.

Why is my place-pin in the middle of the ocean?

Via is no longer providing rides in New York City. If you have any questions, please see our FAQ page here.

We’re not quite ready to pilot Via’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 Via 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'm in the car?

Via is no longer providing rides in New York City. If you have any questions, please see our FAQ page here.

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 chat (by clicking "Get Help" here: https://via.app.link) 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 sending us a chat so we can assist right away!

My driver left without me!

Via is no longer providing rides in New York City. If you have any questions, please see our FAQ page here.

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 send an email here so we can look into what went wrong.

If your app is indicating that you were picked up, please send a chat by clicking "Get Help" here: https://via.app.link, so we can cancel that ride and make sure you are able to re-book.

Oops, I forgot to press +1

Via is no longer providing rides in New York City. If you have any questions, please see our FAQ page here.

Not to worry! Just send a quick chat (by clicking "Get Help" here: https://via.app.link) to our Live Support Team, 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?

Via is no longer providing rides in New York City. If you have any questions, please see our FAQ page here.

Via 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 "No Show" 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 chat (by clicking "Get Help" here: https://via.app.link) to our Live Support Team to receive assistance in locating your driver partner. 

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

Why didn't I receive my referral credit yet?

Via is no longer providing rides in New York City. If you have any questions, please see our FAQ page here.

First of all, thank you for helping to spread the word about Via! 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 Via ASAP!

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

**Terms of Use: The intended purpose of Via 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 Via's discretion. Using a Via 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 Via's discretion. In addition, Via reserves the right to revoke any referral credit obtained for referrals of fraudulent accounts (including accounts set up with false personal or payment information), as determined by the Via system. Via reserves the right to change any codes which it determines have been compromised and issue a replacement code.

The app isn't recognizing my pickup location

Via is no longer providing rides in New York City. If you have any questions, please see our FAQ page here.

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 Via 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?

Via is no longer providing rides in New York City. If you have any questions, please see our FAQ page here.

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

Via 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 Via, please contact us here.

Why is my account inactive? 

Via is no longer providing rides in New York City. If you have any questions, please see our FAQ page here.

In order to book a ride with Via, we require a valid and active credit card as the default payment method on your account. If you are receiving a message that your account is inactive, it means we weren't able to successfully validate the default credit card on your account. This means that your card issuing bank has declined your last transaction or our validation check. Major bummer! 

Common reasons your bank might decline a transaction are:
- An incorrect credit card number or expiration date
- Insufficient funds in your account
- The bank's fraud rules blocked the transaction

Please double check your default card information is correct and up to date. If you are still having trouble, we recommend contacting your bank for more details. 

I am not receiving the SMS to verify my account!

Via is no longer providing rides in New York City. If you have any questions, please see our FAQ page here.

We are so sorry for the trouble there! For our member’s security, we require that all users verify their phone number in order to create an account with Via. If you are attempting to sign up and are not receiving the SMS verification code first head back to the sign-up screen and be sure to check your full phone number including the country code to ensure it matches the current device you are using to sign up. If you are still experiencing any troubles with sign up please reach out to us here.
