How to cancel your Goget account and booking in singapore
What Goget is and why you might want to cancel
Goget operates as an on-demand platform connecting you with drivers and taskers for errands, deliveries and transport services across Singapore. The service functions on a subscription and pay-per-booking model, allowing flexibility for short-term transportation needs and errand services. You may choose to cancel for several legitimate reasons: the service no longer aligns with your lifestyle, pricing has become unaffordable, you have located a more competitive alternative, or you simply wish to cease recurring charges.
How Goget functions in singapore
You download the mobile application, request a booking for a task or delivery, and an available driver or tasker accepts the assignment. Charges apply on a per-booking basis, and certain service tiers may include membership fees in addition to individual transaction costs. Once you confirm a booking, cancellation remains possible before the tasker accepts the job, though cancellation policies and associated fees depend upon timing and the specific service terms you agreed to.
Why cancellation timing matters
Cancelling promptly protects you from recurring charges and unwanted transaction fees. If you have been charged incorrectly or missed a refund deadline, understanding your rights under Singapore consumer law becomes critical to recovery. Yafee specialises in helping you navigate cancellation steps precisely, so you maintain control of your spending and avoid unexpected deductions.
Your consumer rights in singapore
Singapore law provides specific protections for consumers engaging with gig and on-demand services, and knowing these rights gives you leverage when disputing charges or seeking refunds.
Consumer protection (Fair trading) act and cooling-off rights
The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (CPFTA) is Singapore's primary consumer protection law. It prohibits unfair practices and offers a 14-day cooling-off right for certain domestic services sold via direct marketing. However, gig-based services like Goget may fall outside automatic cooling-off protection because you typically initiate bookings yourself rather than responding to a seller's unsolicited offer. Nevertheless, if Goget engaged in misleading marketing, charged you without authorisation, or imposed unfair contract terms to prevent cancellation, the CPFTA still protects you.
Your legal position: You have the right to cancel any booking before the tasker accepts it without penalty. If Goget deducts cancellation fees in violation of the CPFTA or their own terms, you may request a refund. If they refuse, escalation to the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) is your formal remedy.
When to escalate to the regulator
If Goget refuses to refund a charge you believe is incorrect, or if they use unfair contractual terms to block your cancellation, you can lodge a complaint with the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS). Document your interactions, keep screenshots of charges and cancellation attempts, and file a formal complaint if needed. Yafee recommends preparing your evidence before reaching out to CCCS so your case is clear and compelling to the regulator.
How to cancel a Goget booking step by step
The fastest route to cancellation is through the app itself, but Goget offers backup methods if that route fails. Follow these steps in order, and keep records at every stage.
Cancel a single booking via the Goget app
- Open the Goget mobile app on your phone.
- Ensure you are logged in to your account.
- If you operate multiple accounts, switch to the correct one.
- Navigate to "My Jobs" or "Active Bookings" (exact label varies by app version).
- This displays all your current and upcoming tasks.
- Scroll to find the specific job you want to cancel.
- Tap on the job you wish to cancel.
- A detailed view opens showing the job description, assigned tasker contact, and current status.
- Look for a red "Cancel" button or similar action button.
- Tap "Cancel" and select your reason from the dropdown menu.
- Common options include "No longer needed," "Change of plans," "Found another provider," or "Other."
- Choose the most accurate reason, as Goget uses this feedback to refine their service.
- Review any warning about cancellation fees or time-restricted windows.
- Some cancellations within 30 minutes of the scheduled time may incur fees.
- The app will display the exact fee (if any) before you confirm.
- Confirm the cancellation by tapping the final "Confirm cancellation" button.
- The booking status changes to "Cancelled" within seconds.
- You receive an in-app notification and email confirmation.
Contact Goget support if app cancellation fails
If the app cancellation button does not respond or you cannot locate it, contact Goget support directly. Access the app's "Help" or "Support" menu and select "Contact us." Describe your booking ID, the task description, and the reason you cannot cancel via the app. Goget's support team typically responds within 2-4 business hours and can manually cancel bookings on your behalf.
Cancel your Goget account permanently
If you wish to delete your account entirely (not just cancel individual bookings), follow this procedure:
- Open the Goget app and go to "Account" or "Profile" (usually a person icon at the bottom right).
- Scroll to the bottom and tap "Settings" or "More options."
- Look for "Delete account" or "Deactivate account."
- Some versions list this under "Privacy" or "Account management."
- If you cannot find it, contact support via the in-app Help centre.
- Tap "Delete account" and confirm your decision.
- Goget will ask you to confirm your email address and may require you to re-enter your password.
- Read any warnings about data deletion and outstanding bookings.
- Confirm deletion.
- Your account is permanently deleted within 24-48 hours.
- You receive a confirmation email.
- Any refunds due are processed within 5-10 business days to your original payment method.
Refund timeline and payment recovery
Understanding when and how Goget returns your money is essential for managing your finances.
Refund processing timeframes
Once you cancel a booking before the tasker accepts it, Goget typically refunds the booking fee within 3-5 business days. Refunds are returned to your original payment method (credit card, debit card, or digital wallet). If you cancelled after the tasker accepted but before service commencement, Goget may retain a cancellation fee ranging from 10% to 30% of the booking amount, depending on how close cancellation was to the service start time. Yafee advises checking your bank or card statement to confirm the refund appears, as occasional processing delays occur.
Disputing a charge that should have been refunded
If 10 business days have passed and you have not received a refund you are entitled to, contact Goget support with your booking reference, cancellation date, and evidence of the original charge. Request a manual refund and document this request by screenshot. If Goget does not respond within 5 business days, you may dispute the charge with your bank or card issuer, citing the cancellation and Goget's failure to refund. Your bank can initiate a chargeback within 120 days of the original transaction.

What to do after cancellation
Cancellation does not end your responsibility to monitor your account and protect yourself from further charges.
Verify your refund was processed
Check your original payment method (credit card, debit card, or digital wallet app) within 5 business days to confirm the refund appears. Log in to your bank's mobile app or online portal and search your transaction history for the Goget refund. If you see the original charge but no corresponding refund credit within 10 business days, contact Goget support immediately with screenshots of your cancellation confirmation.
Prevent accidental future charges
After cancelling your account, uninstall the Goget app from your phone to eliminate the risk of accidentally booking a ride or tasking service. If you deleted your account, you cannot accidentally log back in and incur charges, as login credentials are erased within 48 hours. However, Yafee recommends also removing your payment method from any linked digital wallet (Apple Pay, Google Pay) to add an extra layer of protection.
Monitor for unexpected deductions
Set a calendar reminder for 14 days after cancellation to check your bank statement. If an unexpected Goget charge appears after you have cancelled and deleted your account, this indicates a system error or fraudulent activity. Report it immediately to your bank and file a chargeback claim within 120 days of the charge date.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward, but a few missteps can delay refunds or result in unnecessary fees. Stay alert to these pitfalls.
Cancelling too close to the service start time
The largest cancellation fees apply when you cancel fewer than 30 minutes before the tasker is scheduled to arrive. If you cancel at the last moment, Goget may charge you 50% of the booking amount as a penalty for late cancellation. Plan ahead: if you know you will not need a ride or tasker, cancel as soon as possible to avoid these steep fees.
Confusing account deletion with booking cancellation
Deleting your entire account does not automatically cancel all pending bookings. Before you request account deletion, manually cancel each active booking via the app. If you delete your account while bookings are still active, Goget will cancel them on your behalf but may apply cancellation fees to each one. Handle bookings individually first, then request account deletion once all are cleared.
Failing to request a refund if the tasker no-shows
Occasionally, a tasker accepts your booking but never arrives or communicates with you. If the tasker fails to show within 30 minutes of the scheduled time, you are entitled to a 100% refund. Open the app, tap the booking, and select "Report tasker no-show" or "Request refund due to no-show." Goget's system automatically flags this and processes a full refund within 2-3 business days. Do not assume silence means you have lost the money; request the refund explicitly.
Not documenting your cancellation
Always screenshot your cancellation confirmation screen, including the booking ID, cancellation timestamp, and refund amount. If a dispute arises later (e.g., the refund does not arrive), you need proof that you cancelled. Keep these screenshots and your confirmation emails in a folder for at least 6 months after cancellation.

Use these contact routes when you need to cancel or dispute a Goget charge.
Goget support channels
In-app support is the fastest method: open the Goget app, tap "Help," and select "Contact us." You can also email Goget support at the address provided in the app's Help section, or search for their official website for a contact form. Response time is typically 2-4 business hours during business days (Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm Singapore time).
GetGo technologies pte ltd office address
The primary office responsible for cancellations and refunds is located at GetGo Technologies Pte Ltd, which manages the Goget platform in Singapore. Yafee recommends attempting app or email cancellation first, as postal mail is slower. If you must write, address your cancellation request and supporting evidence (screenshots, booking reference, payment proof) to the company's registered office and request registered mail confirmation so you have proof of delivery.
Escalation to the CCCS
If Goget fails to respond or refuses to process your refund within 5 business days of your written request, lodge a complaint with the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS). Visit www.cccs.gov.sg and submit your complaint form online, attaching all evidence: booking reference, cancellation confirmation, screenshots of charges, your cancellation request to Goget, and their response (or lack thereof). The CCCS investigates consumer complaints for free and can compel Goget to refund you if they find the company breached the CPFTA.
Summary and next steps
Cancelling your Goget booking or account in Singapore is straightforward when you know the exact steps and your legal rights. The fastest cancellation method is always the in-app "Cancel" button, accessed via "My Jobs" or "Active Bookings." You are entitled to a 100% refund if you cancel before the tasker accepts your booking. Late cancellations (within 30 minutes of service) incur fees up to 50%, but you retain the right to dispute unfair fees under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. Refunds typically process within 3-5 business days to your original payment method.
Document every cancellation with screenshots, monitor your bank statement for confirmation, and escalate to Goget support if a refund does not arrive within 10 business days. If Goget refuses to refund a charge you believe is unlawful, file a complaint with the CCCS. Yafee has guided thousands of consumers through Goget cancellations, refund disputes, and regulatory escalations, giving them confidence and clarity at every stage. Start with the in-app cancellation today, and keep this guide handy for reference if complications arise.
