Yes — you can cancel or modify your Cinchy scooter booking in Bali. Cinchy's policy is built around flexibility, transparency, and traveler convenience. Plans change. Flights get delayed. Weather shifts. Itineraries get reorganised. Whatever the reason, Cinchy gives you clear options to adjust or cancel your reservation without stress — as long as you act within the right timeframes. This guide explains every scenario in full detail, so you always know exactly where you stand.

The Short Version: Your Two Key Options

When your plans change after booking, you have two choices:​

• Modify your booking — Change the delivery time, return time, delivery location, or return location directly through your booking page. No need to cancel and rebook.

• Cancel your booking — Cancel for free if you do so at least 24 hours before your scheduled delivery. A cancellation fee may apply for last-minute cancellations within that window.​

Both options are available online through your Cinchy booking page and require no phone call or shop visit to action. Cinchy's 24/7 support team via WhatsApp is also available if you prefer to speak to someone directly.

Modifying Your Booking: What You Can Change

Modification is often a better option than cancellation — it keeps your booking active and avoids any cancellation processing while still giving you the flexibility to adjust the details.​

Here are the four things you can modify directly in your Cinchy booking page:

Delivery Time

If your arrival time changes — due to a flight delay, a late checkout, or a schedule shift — you can update your delivery time to match. This is the most commonly requested modification, and it is free to make.​

Contact Cinchy's team through WhatsApp or update via your booking page as soon as you know about the change. Early communication is important — particularly for airport pickups where the Cinchy rider is coordinating their schedule with your arrival.​

Return Time

If you want to extend your rental — or return the scooter earlier than planned — you can change the return time through your booking page.​

• Extending your rental is processed at your applicable daily rate. If you are on a daily rate and you extend by additional days, those extra days are charged at the same class rate as your original booking.
• Returning early does not entitle you to a refund for the unused days. Cinchy's policy is clear: there are no refunds for unused rental days regardless of why the scooter was returned early. If you booked five days and return after three, you are charged for all five. This is why it is worth planning your rental duration carefully before you book.​
• Important: If you return the scooter late — after your scheduled return time without prior modification — a late return fee applies. This is equivalent to an additional 24-hour rental charge at your daily rate. Always update your return time through the booking page before your scheduled end time if you need more hours.​

Delivery Location

You can change where Cinchy delivers your scooter — for example, switching from a villa in Seminyak to a hotel in Canggu.​

Note: Changing the delivery location may incur an additional fee depending on the distance and zone of the new delivery address. Cinchy covers free delivery across all its standard service areas, but if the new location falls outside the original delivery zone, an extra charge applies. Confirm this with the team when making the change.​

Return Location

You can also change where Cinchy collects the scooter at the end of your rental — for example, requesting pickup from the airport instead of your villa if your plans have shifted.​

The same zone-based fee rule applies: returns to a different location from the original may carry an additional charge depending on the area. Confirm the exact cost with Cinchy's team when you update the return location.

Cancelling Your Booking: The Full Policy

Free Cancellation Window — 24 Hours Before Delivery

Cinchy offers free cancellation on all Standard Bookings if you cancel at least 24 hours before your scheduled delivery time.​

This means if your scooter is set to arrive on Wednesday at 11:00 AM, you have until Tuesday at 11:00 AM to cancel at zero cost. Cancel before that deadline and you receive a full refund, processed within a maximum of 2 business days via your original payment method.​

Cancellation Within 24 Hours

If you cancel within 24 hours of your scheduled delivery — or if you simply do not show up — a cancellation fee may apply. The exact amount is set out in Cinchy's Terms and Conditions and depends on the booking type and timing.​

If your cancellation is unavoidable and falls within this window — for example, a genuine emergency — contact Cinchy's support team directly. While the fee policy stands, the team can discuss your specific situation and advise on the best path forward.

Standard Booking vs. Pay Now Booking

Not all booking types have the same refund terms. Understanding which type you have is important:​

Standard Booking:

• Free cancellation up to 24 hours before delivery
• Full cash refund processed within maximum 2 business days
• Refund goes back to the same payment method used at booking​

Pay Now (Discounted) Booking:

• Lower daily rate in exchange for reduced refund flexibility
• Non-refundable in cash — regardless of how far in advance you cancel
• 100% of the amount paid is credited as Cinchy Avo Points — usable on any future Cinchy rental
• Your money is never permanently lost — it converts to credit that stays in your account​

If you are unsure how certain your travel dates are, the Standard Booking is always the safer choice. Pay Now offers a better rate — but that rate comes with a trade-off on refund flexibility. Book with the option that fits your level of certainty.

No Refund for Unused Days

This rule applies universally across all booking types and all rental durations: Cinchy does not refund unused rental days.​

If you return the scooter before your agreed end date, the full rental fee for the originally booked period is charged. There is no partial refund for the remaining days.

The practical takeaway: before you confirm your booking, plan your rental duration as accurately as possible. If you are unsure whether you will need the scooter for the full period, book a shorter duration first. You can always extend — but you cannot claim back days you have already paid for.​

Minimum Rental Period: A Key Factor in Modifications

Every modification to your booking must still respect Cinchy's minimum rental period of 2 days (2x24 hours).​

This means you cannot modify a booking to shorten it to less than 48 hours — the system will not allow any booking that falls below the minimum rental floor. Whether you are creating a new booking or adjusting an existing one, the 2-day minimum is always the baseline.

If you have already booked a 5-day rental and want to reduce it to 1 day, the modification will only be accepted down to the 2-day minimum. Any booking adjustment that produces a total rental shorter than 48 hours is not permissible.​

For a full explanation of why the 2x24-hour minimum exists and how it benefits you as a renter, read our dedicated guide on Cinchy's minimum Bali scooter rental booking period of 2x24 hours.​

Document Requirements for Modifications

When modifying your booking — especially if you change your delivery time to within 48 hours of the new delivery date — make sure your required documents are already submitted and verified.​

Cinchy requires all renters to submit their documents at least 48 hours before delivery:

• Valid ID — Passport for foreigners; KTP for Indonesian locals
• Valid Driving License — IDP for foreigners; SIM C for locals
• Round-trip flight ticket
• Hotel or accommodation booking confirmation

If you modify your delivery time and the new delivery falls within 48 hours of the change, contact Cinchy's team immediately to confirm your documents are already on file. Unverified documents can delay the handover — even if the booking modification itself was accepted.​

How Refunds Are Processed

Once a qualifying cancellation is confirmed, the refund timeline depends on your payment method and booking type:​

• Cash on Delivery (COD) bookings: Since payment occurs at delivery and you are cancelling before delivery, no cash changes hands and no refund is needed. The booking is simply voided.
• Online payment (Credit Card, Bank Transfer, E-Wallet): Cash refunds are processed back through your original payment method within a maximum of 2 business days after the cancellation is confirmed. Processing time through your bank or e-wallet provider may add a small additional delay depending on your institution.
• Pay Now Booking: No cash refund is issued. Instead, 100% of your payment converts to Cinchy Avo Points — stored in your Cinchy account and available for use on any future rental. Avo Points do not expire, so your credit is safe whenever you are ready to use it.

How to Use the Promo Code for Early Bookings

If you are booking well in advance, Cinchy offers a 5% discount with the promo code EARLY5 when you book at least one month ahead.​

This is an excellent option if your Bali travel dates are confirmed and you want to lock in your preferred scooter at the lowest possible daily rate. Early bookings made under a Standard Rate still qualify for free cancellation up to 24 hours before delivery — so the promo code carries no additional flexibility trade-off.

Tips to Avoid Needing to Cancel or Modify

A little planning at booking time reduces the chance of needing to change anything later:​

• Book only once your travel dates are confirmed. Speculative bookings for undecided dates create unnecessary modification pressure.
• Choose Standard Booking if your schedule has any flexibility. The small saving on Pay Now is not worth losing cash refund eligibility.
• Set your delivery time with a buffer. If your flight lands at 2:00 PM, book your delivery for 4:00 PM — not 2:30 PM. Build in time for customs, baggage collection, and transport.
• Communicate early. If something changes, contact Cinchy as soon as you know — not at the last minute. Early communication gives the team time to adjust without penalties applying.
• Double-check your return date. A booking made for 5 days when you only needed 3 cannot be refunded. Check your calendar before confirming the booking end date.
