I wonder how many other clients suffered from this so-called glitch and what the nature of the glitch was. It sounds like a €30-40 surcharge that wasn't notified to the client in advance. .......

The fella that was overcharged did not give many details about what happened, but I think I have the answer as similar has happened to me twice as a driver in the past. I think it was the FN Pre Authorisation thing that came in to play.

And to add that same Pre Authorisation thing was exceptionally badly explained to customers by FN as it was contained half-way through a very long FN email a few years ago.

[Belker]

He booked a FN taxi and a Pre Authorisation hold was put on his card fer €35, the First driver accepted the job and then cancelled on him.

Then a Second driver took the job and completed it fer €35 of which the Second driver was paid, but there was still a Hold of the original €35 from the First drivers cancelled job on the clients card aswell as the payment to the Second driver.

The client saw the 2 x  €35 charges on his card and went 'Off on One' not realizing that the original Pre Authorisation hold of €35 on the First cancelled job would be refunded to his card in a few working days time.

Mystery Solved !

If what I posted above is correct then I would not blame the client, if anyone is to blame then it's FN fer so badly explaining their Pre Authorisation rules to their customers.

[Jack Meoff]

I reckon he called for an executive taxi.
They are 1.7 higher in price of a regular taxi

I was charged 65 Swiss Francs for a 10 minute day time trip to the airport in November 2021, 2 passengers. hailed on street. That walls guy should avoid Switzerland taxis at all costs. I actually thought at the time the driver must have ripped us off but I looked up the fare later and it was the correct fare, its just everything costs a lot over there, except cigarettes, that was the only thing I saw cheaper over there, I think 8 swiss francs for 1 pack.

I don't think your correct Octy, yer-man-o saw 2 x €35 charges on his card with NO EXPLANATION as to why, he was not aware (because he didn't read the ENTIRE long email FN sent him a few years ago) that his original €35 Pre Authorization fee would be refunded in a few working days time.

Maybe he should have contacted FN's Robot (very unhelpful) helplines (which he might have done) before he publicized it ?
