Cancellation policy
Plans change. That's fine.
Cancel or change any booking free of charge up to 12 hours before your scheduled pickup. One text is all it takes.
Free changes and cancellations
Any change made more than 12 hours before pickup — time, address, passenger count, vehicle size, or cancelling outright — costs nothing. We never charge a rebooking fee.
Inside 12 hours
- Cancellations inside 12 hours of pickup are charged 50% of the reserved price, because the vehicle and driver are already committed to you.
- Cancellations after your driver is already on the way, or no-shows, are charged the full reserved price.
- Changes inside 12 hours are almost always free — we only re-price if the trip itself changes (a longer route or a larger vehicle).
Flight delays and cancellations
If you gave us a flight number, we track it. Delays are adjusted automatically at no charge, and a cancelled flight means a cancelled ride with no fee — even inside the 12-hour window. Airport pickups include 60 minutes of free wait time after your flight lands.
Wait time
All other pickups include 15 minutes of free wait time. Beyond that we bill wait time in 15-minute increments at the driver's hourly rate, and we always text before any wait time is charged.
Weather and road closures
If a Cascade pass closes or conditions make a route genuinely unsafe, we'll tell you directly and cancel without a fee. We'd rather lose the ride than take a risk with you in the car.
How to cancel or change
Text us at (541) 544-1519 with your confirmation code, or email hello@ridecentraloregon.com. A person confirms the change back to you — nothing is left to an automated system.
