A driver can dispute a flag by sending a message through the driver app to the Support team. How the driver can send a message is explained here.
This message should contain:
A thorough explanation of the reason why the driver thinks the flag is not justified.
Proof that supports the argument of the driver as to why the flag is not justified.
Based on the above message, the Support team will do a re-evaluation of the flag and will inform the driver accordingly about the results of this re-evaluation.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
The driver has 7 days after the issuing of the flag to dispute it. After the 7 days period passes, this will no longer be possible.
After the re-evaluation of the flag has been completed and the results have been shared with the driver, it is not possible to further dispute the flag as the decision is final.
