Customer support

Voi is responsible for any service cases related to scooters, active rides, accidents, and police. Any other requests are handled by the partner. By presenting Voi's contact information while the user is unlocking, riding, and locking the scooter, most support cases end up in the right place. If service requests are sent to the wrong customer support, customer support forwards them to their counterpart at the other company (via email or directly through Kustomer if Kustomer integration is implemented). Refunds are always performed by the partner but sometimes requested by Voi.

SLA

Voi's target response time for acknowledging a customer support request is 72 hours. For issues that interrupt the operation, the goal is to resolve them within 24 hours, and for all other issues, within 10 business days.

Ways for users and partners to contact Voi customer support

We mainly use email for customer support. In our app and on our webpage you can also fill in a form, but this is converted into an email. Voi uses the rider's email address and, if available, the 4-letter code next to the QR-code on the scooters to identify users in our internal systems. We need this information and the name of your app provided when you contact our support.

We have different points of contact, one for you and one for your end users.

For regulatory reasons, we also provide phone support in some markets. Phone support has no access to admin tools, meaning they can answer simple questions and most users calling in get referred to email support. For the following cities, we provide phone-based customer support:

Contacting the partner's customer support

Voi will need the following information:

  • A point of contact for our customer support to contact your customer support.
  • A point of contact for requesting refunds.
  • A point of contact where we can refer users to you.

We will provide you with the user's email when contacting your customer support.

Performing refunds

How to refund

Partner — For active rides, Voi customer support will end them and set the price. For already-ended rides, the partner is free to perform refunds under the conditions described below. The partner has to keep track of refunds and present them with the amount owed when invoicing Voi, including the id of the ride that was refunded and the user's id.

Voi — When Voi wants to request a refund from a partner, we will contact you (via email or directly through Kustomer if Kustomer integration is implemented) with the user's email, the sum to refund, and the time + date of the ride.

Refund conditions

When it's our fault — We always refund when the issue was our fault. Examples: the app issue prevented the user from riding and they were penalized €25 (refund the full €25); the scooter didn't work but the user was charged (refund the full amount).

When the user used our service — If the user managed to ride (even partly), the ride should still be paid and you can refund the extra charge. Example: the user rode 15 min, then couldn't end the ride for 20 min and was overcharged — refund the overcharge only.

Credits and refunds — If the charge (or extra charge) is below €10, we offer refunds in Voi credits (unless the user specifically asks for money). Above €10, we refund money. When refunding in credits we usually add 1–2 credits as compensation.

Not refundable — We don't refund insignificant issues that don't affect the user's experience (e.g. non-working bell, no kickstand, slow internet).
