When you need to cancel a ride or change your pick up time, you must call the Cherriots call center as soon as possible.
No-Show Policy
A demonstrated pattern of no-shows, (see below for examples), is seriously disruptive to Cherriots Shop and Ride service. Within a 30-day period, three or more no-shows, or no-shows that are 10 percent of completed trips (whichever is greater), will be grounds for service suspension. Only no-shows and late cancellations that are within the rider’s control will be counted toward the policy.
Cancellations made less than two hours in advance of the pickup time, a cancellation at the door, or not being present or ready to leave within five minutes after the vehicle operator comes to the door are all considered no-shows. If a rider is a no-show on a ride starting from the rider’s home, the rider must call the call center to cancel any other scheduled rides no longer needed that day to avoid receiving additional no-shows.
