Booked the Wrong Address? Fixing It
Updated 3 min read
It's an easy mistake to make: you're typing fast on a phone, autocomplete suggests a street with the right name in the wrong suburb, and you tap it without reading closely. A wrong address in a booking isn't just an inconvenience — it can send your driver to the wrong place and, if the route is genuinely different, change the price too. The fix is straightforward as long as you catch it before pickup.

Where the mistake usually happens
Autocomplete is convenient and usually right, but it's also where most address errors creep in — a street name that exists in more than one area, a similar-sounding suburb, a suggestion tapped a moment too soon. It's worth reading the full address shown in your confirmation, not just the street name, before you move on from the booking form.
How to check your confirmation
- Open the confirmation email or message you received after booking.
- Read the full pickup and drop-off address, including the area or postal code, not just the street name.
- If anything looks off — a district you don't recognise, a number that doesn't match where you're actually staying — don't wait to see if it sorts itself out.
Fixing it before pickup
Contact support as soon as you notice, with your booking reference to hand. An address correction is a straightforward change we can make directly — it isn't treated as a complaint or a fault on your part, just a normal edit. If the corrected address means a genuinely different route, the price is re-quoted the same way any address change is handled: you see the new figure and agree to it before anything is charged.
If you only notice on the day
Call rather than email if pickup is close — a phone call reaches a person faster than a message queue, and an address correction close to pickup time is exactly the kind of thing worth a call. The sooner it's flagged, the more room there is to redirect the driver before they've set off, rather than after.
Avoiding the mistake next time
Once you've corrected it, it's worth a habit rather than a one-off fix: read the full suggested address before tapping it, including the district or postal code, not just the street name that first catches your eye. It takes a few extra seconds at booking and avoids the far more stressful version of the same problem happening at pickup, when there's less time to sort it out calmly.

Questions people ask before booking
I just noticed my booking has the wrong address — what do I do?
Contact support with your booking reference as soon as you notice. An address correction is a normal edit, not a complaint, and we'll confirm the fix and any price change before it's applied.
Will fixing a wrong address change the price?
Only if the corrected address is genuinely a different route. If so, we re-quote and you see the new price before it's charged — the same as any address change.
What if I only realise the address is wrong on the day of pickup?
Call us rather than email — it reaches a person faster, and the sooner an address correction is flagged, the more room there is to redirect the driver before they arrive at the wrong place.
How do address mistakes usually happen?
Most commonly through autocomplete suggesting a similarly named street or suburb that gets tapped without a full read of the confirmation. Checking the full address, not just the street name, catches most of them.
Can the driver be redirected once they're already on the way?
Often yes, if you flag the mistake in time — call support or the driver directly on the number you were sent as soon as you notice.
