Frequently asked questions
Cancel Ryde: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel your Ryde subscription in singapore: a legal and financial guide
Why you might need to cancel your ryde+ membership
Ryde is Singapore's ride-hailing platform that connects you with nearby drivers through a mobile app, offering both on-demand and scheduled services. Many users subscribe to Ryde+ to access discounts and priority matching. However, subscription costs accumulate whether you use the service regularly or not, and cancelling your membership stops recurring charges immediately.
You may want to cancel if your ride frequency has dropped, you've found a cheaper alternative, or the subscription no longer justifies its monthly cost. At Yafee, we help you understand whether cancellation makes financial sense for your situation, and we guide you through the legal framework that protects your rights as a consumer in Singapore.
When cancellation makes financial sense
Ryde+ costs S$19.99 per month or S$49.99 per quarter. If you take fewer than three or four trips per month, the subscription discount rarely offsets the membership fee. Compare your typical monthly ride spending against the subscription cost, including the actual per-ride savings. If the mathematics don't align, cancellation removes the recurring charge from your account immediately.
Yafee recommends tracking your ride frequency over one complete billing cycle. Once you have that data, the cancellation decision becomes straightforward.
The legal difference between cancelling rides and cancelling subscriptions
Ryde allows you to cancel individual trips before or after a driver arrives. Subscription cancellation is separate: you must terminate your Ryde+ membership through account settings to prevent monthly renewals. Many users cancel a single ride but remain enrolled in their subscription, resulting in unwanted recurring charges. Yafee walks you through both processes to ensure you don't make this costly mistake.
Your consumer rights under singapore law
Your right to cancel subscription services is protected by the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (CPFTA), which applies to all service contracts in Singapore, including ride-hailing subscriptions.
What the law says about your cancellation rights
The CPFTA establishes that you have the right to cancel a continuous supply contract (such as Ryde+) within 7 days of entering into the contract, or within 7 days of receiving the first invoice, whichever is later. This period is called the cooling-off period. After this initial window closes, your right to cancel depends on the terms you agreed to when you signed up.
Furthermore, even after the cooling-off period expires, the CPFTA prevents unfair contract terms. If Ryde's cancellation clause is deemed unfair, unreasonable, or hidden, you may challenge it. Yafee advises checking your original subscription agreement for any restrictions on when you can cancel.
Your legal position when cancelling
You have the right to cancel your Ryde+ subscription at any time after the initial 7-day cooling-off period, provided Ryde has given you a clear cancellation method. If Ryde refuses to cancel or demands payment for cancellation, you may lodge a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE), which investigates breaches of consumer law and can mediate disputes. You are not liable to pay any penalty for cancelling outside the subscription period unless your contract explicitly permits it and the term is deemed fair.
Ryde pricing and cost breakdown
Understanding Ryde's fee structure helps you calculate whether the subscription saves you money or costs more than paying per ride.
Monthly and quarterly subscription plans
| Plan | Cost (SGD) | Billing cycle | Key benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ryde+ monthly | S$19.99 | Monthly | Ride discounts, priority driver matching |
| Ryde+ quarterly | S$49.99 | 3 months | Same benefits, lower per-month cost |
| Promotional offer (if available) | From S$16.66 | Monthly | Limited-time cashback and lifestyle perks |
| Platform fee (standard) | S$1.25 per ride | Per ride (fare ≤ S$18) | Added to base fare |
| Platform fee (premium) | S$1.47 per ride | Per ride (fare > S$18) | Applied to longer or premium rides |
| Late cancellation fee | S$4.50 per cancellation | Per cancellation | Charged if cancelled more than 3 minutes after booking |
Platform fees apply on top of your ride fare, and cancellation penalties are triggered if you cancel after a driver has been assigned. Over a month, these charges compound quickly if you cancel frequently or book premium rides. Yafee users often discover that their actual spending exceeds the subscription savings, making cancellation the financially sound decision.
How to cancel an individual Ryde trip
Cancelling a single ride is straightforward, but timing is critical because late-cancellation fees apply after a driver has been assigned.
Cancel before a driver accepts your booking
- Open the Ryde app on your smartphone.
- Navigate to your active booking or current rides screen.
- Select the trip you wish to cancel.
- Tap the "Cancel ride" or "Cancel booking" button (usually displayed in red or at the bottom of the ride details screen).
- Confirm your cancellation when prompted.
- Check your app for a cancellation confirmation message; no fee is charged at this stage.
Cancel after a driver has accepted your booking
- Open the Ryde app and find your active trip.
- Tap "Cancel ride" as before.
- Review the warning message: Ryde will inform you that a cancellation fee of S$4.50 applies after a driver has been assigned.
- Confirm the cancellation if you wish to proceed.
- Your account will be charged S$4.50 immediately; the remainder of your ride fare is refunded within 3 to 5 working days.
What happens if you cancel too late
If a driver has already begun travel toward your pickup location (typically 3 minutes after acceptance), you cannot cancel without incurring the S$4.50 fee. In such cases, your best option is to complete the trip or contact Ryde support to explain extenuating circumstances; support staff may reverse the cancellation charge at their discretion.
How to cancel your ryde+ subscription
Cancelling your Ryde+ subscription stops recurring monthly or quarterly charges. This process is separate from cancelling individual rides and must be completed through your account settings.
Access your account settings
- Open the Ryde app and log in to your account.
- Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top-left or bottom-right corner, depending on your app version.
- Select "Account," "Settings," or "Profile" from the menu.
- Look for "Subscriptions," "Membership," "Ryde+," or "Billing" as a submenu option.
Locate and select your ryde+ subscription
- In your account settings, find the active Ryde+ subscription entry.
- The screen will display your current plan (monthly or quarterly), the next billing date, and the renewal cost.
- Tap on the subscription entry to view cancellation options.
Initiate the cancellation
- Look for a "Cancel subscription," "Cancel membership," or "End subscription" button.
- Tap this button to proceed.
- Ryde may display a retention offer (for example, a discounted month); review this carefully and select "Cancel anyway" or "Proceed with cancellation" if you wish to continue.
Confirm your cancellation
- Ryde will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may request feedback on why you are leaving.
- Complete the feedback form or skip it and tap "Confirm cancellation."
- The app will display a cancellation confirmation with a confirmation number and timestamp.
- Screenshot this confirmation for your records.
Verify the cancellation in your email and app
- Check your registered email address for a cancellation confirmation from Ryde within 24 hours.
- Return to account settings and confirm that Ryde+ no longer appears in your active subscriptions or billing details.
- No charges should appear on your next billing date.
What happens after you cancel your subscription
Cancelling Ryde+ stops your recurring charges, but you retain full access to the platform as a standard user until the current billing period ends.
Your access after cancellation
If you cancel mid-month, you typically retain Ryde+ benefits until the end of that billing period. After the current period expires, your account reverts to standard user status, and you no longer receive member discounts or priority driver matching. You can still book and cancel individual rides, but standard platform fees apply to every trip.
Refund eligibility and timeline
Refunds depend on when you cancel within your billing cycle. If you cancel within the 7-day cooling-off period (measured from contract entry or first invoice receipt), you are entitled to a full refund of the subscription fee. After this period, Ryde's refund policy typically allows a pro-rata refund only if you cancel in the first week of a new billing cycle; otherwise, no refund is issued for the current period.
Consequently, if you cancel on day 1 of a monthly cycle, you may receive a refund for the remaining 29 days. If you cancel on day 28, no refund applies. Yafee advises checking your confirmation email for Ryde's exact refund terms, or contact Ryde support to request a refund if you believe you qualify.
Reactivating your subscription
You can reactivate Ryde+ at any time by returning to your account settings and selecting "Renew subscription" or "Subscribe to Ryde+" if it is no longer visible. Promotional rates may apply if you have been inactive for a set period.
Common mistakes when cancelling Ryde
Cancellation mishaps are easily avoidable once you know what to watch for. Yafee has identified the most frequent errors that leave users paying unwanted charges.
Mistake 1: cancelling a ride but not the subscription
Many users cancel an individual trip thinking they have ended their subscription. The subscription remains active, and you are charged the full membership fee at the next renewal date. To stop all recurring charges, you must cancel the subscription itself through account settings, not individual rides.
Mistake 2: missing the 7-day cooling-off period
Under the CPFTA, you have 7 days from contract entry or first invoice to cancel without penalty. After this window, Ryde's terms determine your refund eligibility. If you delay cancellation, you may forfeit a refund entirely. Yafee recommends cancelling within 7 days if you are certain you don't want the subscription.
Mistake 3: not confirming the cancellation in writing
Relying on app notifications alone can leave you vulnerable if a dispute arises. Screenshot your cancellation confirmation, save the confirmation number, and retain the email confirmation from Ryde. If charges reappear, you have documentary evidence that you cancelled in time.
Mistake 4: overlooking late-cancellation fees on rides
Cancelling a trip after a driver has been assigned for more than 3 minutes incurs a S$4.50 fee. If you cancel frequently and don't account for these charges, your savings disappear. Budget for occasional cancellation fees if your travel plans are uncertain.
Mistake 5: not checking for promotional lock-in periods
Some promotional Ryde+ rates (for example, discounted first-month offers) may require you to remain subscribed for a minimum period. Cancelling before this term expires could forfeit your discount or trigger a penalty. Read your subscription confirmation carefully for any lock-in clause.
Refund procedures and payment recovery
Refunds for cancelled Ryde+ subscriptions are processed according to the CPFTA and Ryde's stated billing policy.
Within the 7-day cooling-off period
You are entitled to a full refund of your subscription fee if you cancel within 7 days of entering the contract or receiving your first invoice. Ryde must process this refund within 14 days of your cancellation request. The refund is credited to your original payment method (credit card, debit card, or digital wallet).
After the cooling-off period
Once the 7-day window closes, Ryde's pro-rata refund policy applies. If you cancel in the first week of a new billing cycle, you may receive a refund for the unused portion of that month. If you cancel after the first week, typically no refund is issued. This policy should be stated in your subscription terms.
Requesting a refund if Ryde does not process it
- Contact Ryde customer support through the app or email with your confirmation number and cancellation date.
- Request a refund in writing, citing your cancellation request and the CPFTA if the 7-day period applies.
- Provide your refund timeline and preferred payment method.
- Allow 14 days for Ryde to respond and process the refund.
- If Ryde does not refund you within 14 days, escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) with documentation of your cancellation and refund request.
If Ryde refuses to cancel your subscription
In rare cases, Ryde may claim that your subscription cannot be cancelled or may demand a penalty fee. Under the CPFTA, you have legal recourse.
Your escalation path
If Ryde refuses to cancel your subscription or alleges a contract clause that prevents cancellation, you may lodge a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE is Singapore's statutory consumer protection authority and can investigate whether Ryde's refusal breaches the CPFTA. You can file a complaint online at case.org.sg or by visiting their office.
In accordance with the CPFTA, CASE can mediate disputes and, if necessary, recommend enforcement action against Ryde if the refusal is deemed unlawful. You are not required to pay legal fees to file a CASE complaint; the service is free for consumers.
Documenting your cancellation request
Before escalating, send Ryde a written cancellation request by email. In your message, state your intention to cancel, reference your CPFTA rights, and request written confirmation of the cancellation. Keep this email and any response from Ryde. If Ryde does not respond or refuses, attach these documents to your CASE complaint as evidence of your good-faith cancellation attempt.
