How to Fix Outside the Area Error When Scheduling Trips

Written by Jonathan Osacky

If you or your riders see an "Outside the Area" error when trying to schedule a trip, it means the pickup or dropoff location is outside your fleet's defined service area.

How to Fix This

  1. Check your service area settings: Go to your Fleet Settings and verify the service area boundaries.

  2. Expand your service area: If needed, increase the radius or redraw the polygon to include the desired locations.

  3. Verify the address: Make sure the rider is entering the correct pickup and dropoff addresses.

Common Causes

  • The service area was set too narrowly during initial setup.

  • The rider is trying to book from a location just outside the boundary.

  • GPS inaccuracy may place the rider's location outside the area.
