Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about booking a driver, paying, who's behind the wheel, and what happens if plans change.

Booking

How far in advance do I need to book?

You can book for the next hour or schedule for a later date and time. Enter your pickup location, date, time and how long you'll need the driver, and we start matching right away.

Can I book for a trip and not just by the hour?

Yes. When you book, you choose whether you need the driver for a set duration or for a one-way or round trip. The vehicle type and duration you select are confirmed before a driver is assigned.

Payment

How is the cost worked out?

Cost depends on vehicle type and whether you're booking by the hour or by trip. The breakdown for each option is shown on the pricing page before you confirm.

When do I pay?

Payment is completed at checkout after your booking details are confirmed — date, time, duration, location and vehicle type. You'll see a summary of everything before you pay.

Drivers

Who are the drivers?

Every driver on Chalak has a verified license and is listed with their availability. We match your booking to a driver who is free for your date, time and location.

Do I need to provide the vehicle?

Yes, this is a driver-booking service — you provide the vehicle, and we provide the driver matched to your booking's vehicle type and duration.

Cancellations

Can I change my booking after confirming it?

Yes. You can update the date, time, location or duration from your dashboard as long as a driver hasn't already been dispatched for the original booking.

What if I need to cancel?

You can cancel from your dashboard. If a driver has already been assigned, cancelling as early as possible helps us keep them available for other bookings nearby.

Still deciding? Book a driver and see how it works.

Set your date, time, location and vehicle, then confirm — a driver is matched based on availability.
