What can we help you with?

My driver was great! How do I thank them?

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 I left in a Via?

We’ve all been there, and we feel for ya! As soon as you realize an item is missing, please let us know by e-mailing us here, and we’ll put you in touch with your driver to track it down! Please note, unclaimed items will be donated after 30 days.

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

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!

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

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!

How do I reset my password?

When logging in, first make sure you are using the exact e-mail address that you used to open your Via account. To reset your password, first open the app and select "Log me in." In the password box, press "Forgot your password?"

Once you receive the password by text, you can go back into the app and log in with the password we sent you. Once logged in, you can change the password to one of your liking.

Click on the "Menu" icon in the top left and then on your user profile (where your name and number are displayed) - this will take you to edit your profile. Click on the "Password" field:

On this screen you will enter the current password (the one from the text message), and then enter a new password of your choice - then click "Save."

If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to e-mail us here.

I'm not receiving my temporary password!

We’re sorry for the hassle! Please email us here and we can reset your password for you manually.

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 here.

Where can I see my past rides and purchases?

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

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

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.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!

Oops, I forgot to press +1!

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.

The app isn't recognizing my pickup location!

When you book a ride, our system will generally propose a pickup location within two blocks 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."

My driver left without me!

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 Via Support 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.

Why did I get charged a No Show fee?

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 $1.50 "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 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 do I see "Braintee" on my credit card statement?

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? 

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.
