Is This Charge Legitimate Or Fraudulent?
Uber charges are usually legitimate payments for services you or a family member used. However, unauthorized charges can occur if your phone is stolen, your Uber account is hacked, or if your credit card details were used to create a fraudulent account.
Why Does This Charge Appear On My Bank Statement?
Uber charges appear immediately after a service is completed or on your monthly membership anniversary. Common reasons for confusion include:
- Authorization Holds: Uber may place a temporary hold on your card when you request a ride to ensure funds are available. These usually drop off within a few days.
- Uber One Renewal: If you signed up for a free trial of Uber One and didn't cancel, you will be billed $9.99 (or local equivalent) monthly.

How To Stop This Charge
To stop recurring Uber One charges:
- Open the Uber or Uber Eats app.
- Tap Account in the bottom right corner.
- Select Uber One.
- Scroll to the bottom and tap Manage Membership.
- Tap End Membership and follow the confirmation prompts.
To stop one-time trip charges, you must remove your payment method from the app, though this will prevent you from using the service.
How To Dispute This Charge
Always try to resolve the issue through Uber Support first. You can do this directly in the app under "Activity" > "Get Help."
Dispute with your bank if:
- Uber Support refuses to refund a clearly fraudulent trip you didn't take.
- You were double-charged for the same trip and Uber won't correct it.
- Your account was compromised and Uber's fraud team hasn't responded.
Timeline guidance
Financial institutions typically require disputes to be initiated within 60 days of the statement date.
Evidence you'll need
- App screenshots showing you were elsewhere during the trip.
- Copies of your chat or email history with Uber Support.
