What can we help you with?

Why is my account inactive? 

Via is no longer providing rides in Washington, DC. 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 had an issue with my ride. How can I let you know?

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 using the form on this site or at support@ridewithvia.com.

Can I change my destination once I'm in the car?

Via is no longer providing rides in Washington, DC. 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!

Why don't I always get pickup up or dropped off exactly where I request?

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

As Via 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 pick up and drop off, whether you’re sharing a ride or booking a private Via-cle. This is how we are able to pick up 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?

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

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

My driver left without me!

Via is no longer providing rides in Washington, DC. 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 when you have a moment, send an email to support-dc@ridewithvia.com so we can look into what went wrong. If your app is indicating that you were picked up, please send us 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 Washington, DC. If you have any questions, please see our FAQ page here.

Not to worry! Just send us a chat (by clicking "Get Help" here: https://via.app.link), and our Live Support Team will 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 Washington, DC. 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 send us a chat (by clicking "Get Help" here: https://via.app.link). Additionally, you can contact the driver partner at any time directly through the app by pressing the small green phone icon located on the right, at the bottom of the screen.

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

Why didn't I receive my referral discount yet?

Via is no longer providing rides in Washington, DC. 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 discounted rides 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 discounts are 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 discounted rides, please shoot us an email at support-dc@ridewithvia.com 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 discounts 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 discounts being revoked at Via's discretion. In addition, Via reserves the right to revoke any referral discounts 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. Full terms here

The app isn't recognizing my pickup location!

Via is no longer providing rides in Washington, DC. 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 Washington, DC. 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: https://www.braintreepayments.com/charge
