About Uber Charges
Uber is a ride-hailing & delivery that may appear on your bank or credit card statement as UBER / UBER EATS. If you see an unfamiliar charge from Uber, it could be related to a ride or order you made, a recurring subscription, a free trial that converted to a paid plan, or an unauthorized transaction.
Before requesting a refund, verify the charge by checking your Uber account at https://www.uber.com for recent orders, subscriptions, or billing history.

- Request a refund online — Navigate to Uber's help or support section. Look for a "Request Refund" or "Report a Problem" option.

If Uber Won't Refund You
If Uber denies your refund request and you believe the charge is unauthorized or the service was not as described, you have the right to dispute the charge with your bank or credit card company.
- File a chargeback — Contact your bank or card issuer and request a chargeback for the Uber charge. You typically have 60–120 days from the statement date.
