These are locations we believe will be popular origins and destinations for rides. Select them to easily choose where you need to go to or from.

Can I bring someone with me?

Sure! You can book rides for you and any additional passengers. Each additional passengers will add $1 to the ride fare, and you will pay for all rides using the same payment method.

Pets that are not service animals are also allowed, but pets should be kept in an airline-approved carrier to use the service.

Can I prebook a ride?

Fog City Access is solely an on-demand service, and doesn't offer pre-booked rides. To account for wait times, you should request a ride 20-30 minutes before you're ready to leave.

Ride Information

Can I edit my pickup or dropoff location?

Once you start a ride, the destination cannot be changed. If you have not yet boarded the vehicle, you can cancel the ride and re-book with a new pickup or destination address.

Why can’t I request a ride?

Sometimes, if we are experiencing high demand in your area, there may not be any vehicles or drivers currently available to service your ride. If your travel plans are flexible, you can try requesting the ride again after a few minutes. Please note, calling will not increase your ability to book a ride as our agents have the same ability as you do booking in the app.

How do I know where and when to meet my driver?

Once a ride is confirmed, you will see the estimated time of arrival (ETA) of your driver in the app. You can follow your driver’s progress in real-time so you know where they are. You will be picked up at the point you set in the app.

What should I do if my driver leaves without me?

Re-book your ride directly in your app, and then please send an email to our support team at the email listed above explaining the situation. Rest assured, you will not be charged for rides you did not take.

How do I cancel my ride?

Payment information

How do I pay for my rides?

Fog City Access fares can be paid by debit/credit card, or by cash in exact amounts.

Do I tip the driver?
No. Our drivers do not accept tips.
Why do I see a pending charge?

There are a few instances where you might see a pre-authorization charge on your account. Any time a new credit card is added to the app, a $1 hold is placed on the card to ensure it is valid and has at least $1. 

Additionally, when a ride is booked, a hold will be placed on the payment method for the entire amount of the initial ride if it is expected to be more than $15 to ensure the charge goes through at the end of the ride. However, a hold is not a charge. This charge will remain pending and should disappear from your account or statement within 3-5 business days depending on the policies of the rider's bank/financial institution.

How do I apply a promo code?
To apply a promo code, click on the menu in the top left corner of the app and select ‘Promo Codes’. You can then enter your promo code. Please note that certain promotions are time limited or restricted. If you get an error when trying to apply a promo code, it is likely no longer valid. If you have any questions about a specific promotion, you can send an email to our support team at the email listed above.
