However, after you have approved a booking request that was accepted by the Third Party Driver Company doing so will mean that a “no-show” will be recorded on your profile. You can still cancel without a no-show being recorded however if the driver arrives more than 20 minutes late. If a driver has to wait for more than 15 minutes after his arrival at the pickup location he may cancel the booking request; in this case a no-show will be recorded on the passenger’s profile.
