Using Yellow! without an order
- You may use Yellow! without a prior order when the taxi has stopped at a taxi rank or at a permitted stopping/parking place, or by hailing it. If the car is free, not travelling to an address and not on a break, the driver will take you to the address you specify.
- The driver may refuse to take you if any of the conditions under "Refusal to accept an order and/or to perform the service", as set out below in these General Terms and Conditions, is present.
- When the taxi has its green light on, it may not stop, as it may be travelling to an address, waiting for another passenger, or the driver may have finished their shift and be going off duty.
- All conditions regarding prices, payment methods, forgotten items, complaints, electronic communication and feedback apply when using Yellow! without an order.
Ordering by phone
- You can order a taxi by calling the landline number 02/91119. If you are ordering from a mobile phone, you can also place an order at 1219, with no additional charges, in accordance with your tariff plan, regardless of the mobile operator.
- When ordering by phone, you are connected to our dispatch centre (Call Center). You need to provide our operator with the exact address or place where you are located. If you are ordering from outdoors, you must state the street and number where you are, or at least the intersection of two streets.
- If you have already placed at least one taxi order (regardless of which of the channels described here you used), when you call the above numbers the automated ordering system (IVR) will answer first. It allows you to choose between the last two addresses from which you have previously ordered a taxi. The system will guide you step by step on how to use it. If you do not wish to use the automated system, you can wait or press 0 to be connected to an operator.
- You can opt out of using the automated ordering system (IVR) so that it is not activated every time you call us. To do so, you should submit your opt-out by email to us via the contact form on our website or at office@yellow333.com. You may also opt out directly with one of our operators.
- When ordering through an operator, you need to state: the direction of travel; specifics of the address; the time the order is to be fulfilled; the payment method, if you have a preference; and whether you are travelling with luggage or a pet, and for a pet you should specify its size and whether it is in a carrier.
- Our operator may refuse to accept the order if you do not provide an exact address. We may also refuse your order if the information you provide is inaccurate or incomplete, or if we are unable to reach you by phone.
- If you have not informed the operator that you are travelling with a pet, the driver may refuse to fulfil the order upon arrival at the address.
- At the dispatch centre, your order is processed using an automated GPS system – Autocab. Upon receiving an order, the system begins searching for a free car.
- When the taxi is waiting for you at the address, you will receive a message on your mobile phone via SMS or Viber (if you have the application installed). When ordering through an operator, you may request to use the Ring Back service – notification of the arrived taxi by a short call from 024911109 to your mobile or landline phone, without the need to answer the call.
- To check the status of your order, call the same number again. You will be connected to our automated order status checking system (ABOP), where an automated voice will inform you of the current status. Where no car has been found and/or you do not wish to wait any longer for the service, you can cancel the order through the automated menu.
- If you do not wish to receive information from this system, please submit your opt-out by email via the contact form on our website or at office@yellow333.com. You may also opt out of this feature with one of our operators.
- When you have placed an order for a specific date and time, our system starts searching for a car 20 (twenty) minutes before the specified time, regardless of when the order was placed. The service we offer for a specific time does not guarantee that a car will certainly be found for you and that it will be at the address on the specified date and time. You need to check the status of your order yourself by calling our dispatch centre (Call Center).
In doing so, you will be connected to our automated order status checking system (ABOP), which will guide you on how to use it depending on the status of the order and will always give you the option to connect to an operator or to cancel the order. - If no free car is found within 15 minutes of the time for which the taxi was ordered, the system automatically cancels the order.
- The taxi will wait for you at the address from which you ordered for 5 (five) minutes. If for any reason you need to be delayed, notify the driver or the operator. The driver will wait for you if there is somewhere to stop, and will switch the taximeter to waiting mode. The driver may cancel the order after the fifth minute or after the additional time you have specified.

Subscription
If you are an employee or associate of one of our clients with whom we have a subscription service contract (subscriber/subscribers), you may use the service in the ways described in these General Terms and Conditions. When ordering a taxi as an employee or associate of one of our subscribers, you cannot use the automated ordering system (IVR).
Payment in the case of a subscription at the end of the trip may be made in one of the following ways:
- By e-voucher provided by your employer – subscriber: when ordering through an operator, the client states the company name and their identifier (and PIN code, if applicable). When ordering through the mobile application, only the company is selected as the payment method, and at the end of the trip – if a PIN code is required – it is provided to the driver to confirm the final amount.
- By company number provided by your employer – subscriber, which is communicated to the driver at the end of the trip.
In the event of insufficient balance, with an e-voucher the client pays the full value of the trip, and with a company number – the difference between the available balance and the final amount, in cash or by card.
Automated order status checking system (ABOP)
Regardless of the channel through which you placed an order, you can check its status by calling our dispatch centre at 02/91119. You will be connected to the automated order status checking system (ABOP), which will guide you according to the current status of the order. The system always gives the option to connect to an operator or to cancel the order, and when it has already been accepted by a driver – also to contact the driver directly.
Forgotten items
If you have forgotten an item in one of our taxis and notice this immediately after using our services, contact our dispatch centre at the phone numbers listed in the "Contacts" section of our website. If more time has passed, fill in the "Contact us" enquiry form in the "Contacts" section as soon as possible after noticing that your item is missing.
- When submitting a report, in order to carry out a faster and more effective check, you may provide us with all available information you have, such as: the phone number from which the order was placed; where you took the taxi; the approximate time of arrival; details from the receipt; which seat you were in; a description of the item/items.
- Always take and keep your receipt, as it provides valuable information about the time and the registration number of the taxi you used, especially if you used our service without a prior order.
- It is especially important to keep the receipt if you took a taxi without an order in the ways described in these General Terms and Conditions, as the taxi may not be connected to our automated GPS system – Autocab. When the taxi is not connected to the Autocab GPS system, we cannot track it and can only establish its number from the receipt given to you by the driver.
- Based on your report, we carry out a check within 10 (ten) working days, and upon identifying the driver we send an enquiry to them. If the report is submitted on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, the period may be extended by up to three working days. After the check is completed, the items may be returned to you within 1 (one) month after ownership has been established.
- We keep found items for 1 (one) month from the date they were found.
- If, while using the service, you find someone else's item in one of our taxis, hand it over to the driver. The driver is obliged to hand it over to Yellow's Head Office so that it can be returned to its owner.
- We may contact you even before you have submitted a report. When a driver finds an item in the car they are driving, they notify Yellow's dispatch centre. If the driver has an assumption as to which of their last up to three clients forgot the item, we may contact them to carry out a check and return the item to its owner even before an official report has been submitted.
- You may collect forgotten items in person once we have made sure they are yours:
- From the driver – After we contact you to confirm that the item is with us, or if you contact the driver directly, you may request that the item be delivered to an address you specify. In this case, you pay the driver the fare from the address from which they set off to the delivery address. Payment is made at the standard tariff recorded by the taximeter, in cash or by debit/credit card.
When contacting you, we will inform you of the approximate fare, and upon receiving the item you will also receive a receipt. - From Yellow's Head Office – After we confirm that the item is with us, you may request collection from the Head Office at: 21 Obikolna St., Druzhba 2 residential district, Sofia 1582. In this case, the driver leaves the item at the "Forgotten Items" department within 7 (seven) days, after which you will be notified that you can collect it in person from the office.
- From the driver – After we contact you to confirm that the item is with us, or if you contact the driver directly, you may request that the item be delivered to an address you specify. In this case, you pay the driver the fare from the address from which they set off to the delivery address. Payment is made at the standard tariff recorded by the taximeter, in cash or by debit/credit card.
Prices
We provide you with information on the approximate price of your trip. The final price you must pay the driver includes various components depending on the specifics of your trip, such as: waiting, passing through an additional address, stopping for a certain time, changing the direction of travel, time of day, road traffic, an additional remuneration you have selected, and others.
- The approximate price is based on our standard tariff and the estimated time and distance calculations of the platform used, about which we inform you in an appropriate manner and which is displayed in our cars.
- The approximate price refers only to the specific order and may vary for subsequent orders due to the factors listed above.
- For orders for a specific time, the driver switches the taximeter to waiting mode in the event of a delay on your part.
- When ordering a taxi by phone or using one of our taxis without an order, you can see our standard tariff, displayed in the taxis in accordance with regulatory requirements.
- The current tariffs and prices in the "Orders" section are valid for every settlement in which Yellow offers services as a carrier – directly or through its representatives.
- In the case of a forgotten item that you want delivered by the driver to an address you specify, you pay the fare from the address from which the driver set off to your address, at Yellow's standard tariff.
- If you soil or damage the taxi, the costs of repairing the damage are entirely your responsibility.
- In connection with a specific order, Yellow may offer optional additional services, including "Additional service – transport with a pet" and "Additional service – priority processing and allocation of the order". The price of the respective additional service is determined according to Yellow's current tariff for additional services in force at the time the order is confirmed, and is displayed or communicated clearly to the User before confirmation. The additional service is requested and charged only after the User's express consent. When ordering from the mobile application it is not pre-selected, and when ordering through an operator the price is communicated in advance and express confirmation by the User is required.
- 8.1. The additional service "Transport with a pet" does not form part of the standard taxi tariff per kilometre travelled, waiting time or call-out to an address. The additional service is not charged for the transport of a guide dog or other assistance dog where the applicable legislation requires it to be admitted.
- 8.2. The additional service "Priority processing and allocation of the order" is optional, does not constitute a call-out fee, and selecting it does not guarantee that a car will be found, a specific arrival time, or fulfilment of the order.
- 8.3. The additional services under items 8.1 and 8.2 are different from the voluntary additional remuneration/financial bonus for the driver.
Payment methods
The final price is paid upon completion of the order – when you arrive at the address you specified as the final destination, or at the address you communicated to the driver during the trip.
- Our taxis are equipped with electronic taximeters with fiscal memory that meet regulatory requirements, and at the end of the trip the drivers issue fiscal receipts.
- If you have selected the voluntary additional remuneration option in the mobile application, you inform the driver that you undertake to pay it.
- Under subscription contracts, payments are made according to the procedure set out in the "Subscription" section – cashless, by electronic voucher or company number.
Depending on the method selected when ordering, payment may be made in cash or by debit/credit card:
- Card payment via POS terminal – possible only in cars equipped with such a device. In the absence or technical malfunction of the terminal, the driver has the right to refuse card payment and accept the amount in cash only.
The POS terminals in our taxis use the myPOS payment infrastructure. Information on the supported card types is available on the provider's official website: https://www.mypos.eu/bg - Payment via the application, web platform (registered card, Google Pay or Apple Pay) – carried out through Stripe, which is responsible for processing and securely storing the card data. More information: https://stripe.com/en-bg
- Several cards may be registered in one profile, and one card may be used in more than one profile.
- When registering a card, a temporary transaction may be made to verify its validity, and the amount held is refunded automatically.
- For each order, the system makes a pre-authorisation (hold) of an estimated amount on the registered payment card. This amount does not constitute an actual payment and serves only to secure the upcoming transaction.
- After the trip is completed and the final price is determined, the system automatically charges the amount due. If there is a difference between the amount held in advance and the amount finally charged, it is refunded automatically.
- In the event of a refused or cancelled order, the amount held is released automatically. The refund depends on the card-issuing bank and usually takes up to 10 working days. Yellow has no ability to influence this period.
- For payments via Apple Pay and Google Pay, the same pre-authorisation and final payment rules apply as for card payments.
- The application gives the client the option, at their discretion, to add an additional financial bonus for the driver at the end of the trip.
In the event of a disputed or duplicate transaction, the client has the right to file an objection by email at office@yellow333.com. Yellow carries out a check and assists in resolving the case in accordance with the payment provider's procedure.
