Charges after booking
The two-wheeler terms apply a cancellation fee after five minutes from driver allocation. Tolls and other applicable charges may add to the fare, so compare the final route quote rather than the starting figure.

Parcel value and cover
The two-wheeler terms cap specified direct-loss liability at AED 100 and advise insurance for consignments above that value, with notice to Porter of the insurance reference. This is the two-wheeler condition; a separate truck product may have different terms.

Other transport services
Porter also links separate car, truck and moving services. Larger goods need the appropriate product and quote; the courier’s 20 kg allowance and two-wheeler terms do not describe every vehicle.
