If there is a specific issue or concern that we can assist you with, we would very much like the opportunity to support you further. Please feel free to contact our team at contact@zeelo.co and we will be happy to help.

New term booking always fails
For the new summer term, again, I'm unable to make a booking online. The app and website keep giving me an error that I have already purchased the pass, but I have not. What I had purchased was a pass for the last term.
I get this error every single term.
Customer care is non existent, the AI bot doesn't help

Good afternoon
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback via Trustpilot.
We have reached out to you directly and would appreciate it if you could respond to the team with the specific dates and times of the incidents referenced, together with any additional details that may assist us in reviewing the matter thoroughly.
Please be assured that we treat all safeguarding-related concerns with the utmost seriousness. In order to properly assess and address the points you have raised, we require further information so that a full review can be conducted.
We look forward to your response.

Zeelo – this is unacceptable.
Today, before school finishing time, we received a notification stating that our daughter had not boarded the bus home. This was incorrect. After waiting in your so-called “emergency” call queue for around five minutes, we were eventually told this was a system failure and that we “shouldn’t worry”.
We pay over £2,000 per year for this service — more than the previous provider — yet since Zeelo took over we have experienced repeated failures in tracking and notification. Parents have spent hours trying to establish whether their children are safe. That is not the service we are paying for.
This is particularly serious because these are young schoolgirls, and they are not permitted to carry mobile phones under school policy — one of the reasons we chose the school in the first place. When your system fails, parents have no independent way to confirm where their child is or whether they are safe.
This system exists for safeguarding, not convenience. Intermittent failures are worse than constant ones: they create panic, uncertainty, and force parents into unnecessary “rescue mode” when nothing is actually wrong — or worse, when something might be.
We know we are not the only families affected. Parents are repeatedly fobbed off, and nothing materially improves.
If Zeelo cannot deliver reliable, accurate, real-time information, parents will rightly question whether to continue using — or paying for — this service next year. Given the repeated failure to meet contractual expectations, some form of fee reduction or compensation would also be entirely reasonable.
Please take this seriously. Children’s safety must not be compromised by constant IT issues.

Good afternoon
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on Trustpilot. We’re very sorry for the incorrect notification you received and for the distress and inconvenience. We fully understand how concerning this situation would have been and apologise for any concerns this would have caused.
While we have live tracking systems in place to monitor journeys to ensure services are tracked as efficiently as possible, and with training also provided to all drivers by our partner operators; there are still unfortunately factors outside of our direct control that can occasionally impact tracking and notifications, including signal issues and driver interaction with the system. On this occasion, the issue was identified as human error relating to the driver.
Following your earlier conversation with management, this matter has been formally raised and will be monitored closely to ensure no further issues occur. Your feedback has also been reviewed as part of this process.
Please be assured that journeys are actively monitored, and should any issues arise during a service, appropriate communication would be issued. Safeguarding remains our highest priority, and we appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention.
Thank you

Really poor customer service but made up for it by telephone
Really poor customer service, waiting over 2 hours for someone to speak to and im still waiting. Almost as bad as evri for customer care.
After waiting they responded to my review and once I spoke to someone via telephone they were fantastic and very helpful.

Would not reccommend
Rubbish App, bad service, I wish we had another option! You cannot speak to anyone; there is no phone number. No one responds to the live chat. Zero flexibility when trying to book a school service. When they respond via email, it is days after any enquiry. We needed an option for a half-term school pass as we are hopefully moving house and need transport till that happens, the only option is to book for the full term, which means we will be paying for a service we won't use for most of it. The situation is stressful enough as it is. If I had any other options, I would use them! But we don't. The app wouldn't let me set up a direct debit, so I had to pay £600.00 in one go. The app lags and doesn't update properly; it constantly fails to record that our child was on the bus, confusing, and I had to keep track of him via a third-party tracking app to make sure he was safe.

Hello Alice
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us via Trustpilot.
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how stressful this situation has been, particularly when arranging transport for your child during an already unsettled time.
Our team has already responded directly to you to outline the specific options currently available for the school in question. We appreciate that, in this instance, these options do not meet your requirements, and we’re sorry for the disappointment this has caused.
Regarding tracking, if you experience any issues, please do reach out to our support team. A tracking link is issued for each individual journey, and when using this link you should be able to track the service as normal. Our team will be happy to investigate further if this is not working as expected.
We’re sorry that your overall experience has not met expectations. Should you wish to discuss your concerns further, our team is available on 03308083306, and we would welcome the opportunity to assist where possible

Excellent customer service
My daughter passed her driving test a few weeks after signing up Zeelo for her travel to and from college. I had to sign up for the full college year and was expecting a bit of a nightmare to cancel, but communication was great, a lady called Ann was particularly helpful and in my opinion went over and above what I was expecting to help sort the cancellation out. Excellent customer service.

Hello Dominique
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us via Trustpilot.
We’d like to clarify how our passes work for this specific school. The service referenced is a term-based pass, not a ride bundle. These passes allow travel on a set number of days per week during the college term and are allocated as credits for use within that term only.
As term passes are time-limited products, any unused credits expire at the end of the term and do not carry over. To continue using the service in a new term, a new pass is required. This is outlined as part of the pass conditions at the point of purchase.
If you would like any further clarity or wish to discuss this further please do reach out to our Customer Care team who will be happy to assist.
Thank you

Hello Nicola
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and for submitting your comments on Trustpilot.
I can see that your concerns have been raised previously and reviewed with both the operator and the school. We have also notified you of adjustments made to the timetable in response to these issues. Please note that any route or timetable changes require a full operational review to ensure they are safe, practical, and sustainable, which can mean they take some time to implement.
We appreciate your patience and understand how frustrating ongoing delays can be. Your feedback is important to us, and we will continue to monitor the service closely to identify any further improvements.
Thank you

The worst bus service
The worst bus service. Buses go missing, don't turn up on time. I have had them just disappear with no updates, and then when I ask for refund and provide clear evidence they refuse the refunds. Have spent so much money on taxis and buying new train tickets due to their incredibly poor service and communication.

Hello
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re very sorry to hear about the issues you’ve experienced.
Our team has explained the process regarding onward and third-party travel on several occasions. Unfortunately, we’re unable to authorise refunds for additional transport such as taxis or trains that have been arranged independently and without prior agreement.
Please be assured that if there is ever an issue with our own service, we will either arrange alternative transport for you or make pre-agreed arrangements directly with affected riders.
Thanks

Nightmare with booking, pointless messaging system, not flexible
Extremely disappointed with Zeelo. Booking a ride is a nightmare, both the app and website are painfully slow and crash constantly. It can take 30+ minutes just to book, and even longer to make changes. Notifications about delays are laughably late; I got a message saying the bus would be 25 minutes late 28 minutes after its scheduled arrival. The bus actually showed up 52 minutes late. Feels like their servers are running from a shed, or maybe the Moon. Was unable to change the booking due to website constantly crushing, the driver won't let me in even having plenty of available seats. If I had a choice, I would never use it again. Zeelo makes commuting a really unpleasant experience.
