Booking and other service guidelines to make your travel simpler in the COVID-19 crisis:

Booking Measures

  • Before booking a trip, please check government guidelines to ensure that your vehicle can be routed from the source address to the destination address. Our teams will check for routing after receiving the booking from your end. In a few cases, we may require you to cancel your booking due to travel restrictions imposed by the Government.
  • Once you have booked a cab, we will provide you with the cab and driver information as soon as possible. You may use this information to fetch an electronic travel pass issued from the authorities. In several parts of the country, it is essential that a customer has a travel pass before boarding for a trip.

Pricing and other measures

  • It is necessary for the drivers as well as the passengers to have the Aarogya Setu app installed on their phones. A Gozo driver may refuse to provide service if the customer cannot show proof of having the same. Consequently, cost of cancellation for such instances shall be borne by the traveler.
  • In view of the above additional precautionary and sanitization measures, Gozo’s fares may be slightly higher than other cab operators.
  • Our customer service centers are available at your disposal. Hence, for quicker and timely service, we recommend you to communicate to us through chat or email during this time.
