Uber — ride or food delivery

✓ Legitimate charge

Uber uses two billing labels on statements. UBER or UBER BV is a charge for a ride taken through the Uber app — private hire taxis and ride-sharing. UBER* EATS is a food delivery order placed through Uber Eats.

Uber ride charges are calculated based on the distance, time, and current demand (surge pricing). The fare shown in the app before you book is an estimate — the final charge may differ slightly based on the actual route taken. Uber also charges a booking fee on top of the fare.

For Uber Eats, the charge includes the food total, a delivery fee, and a service fee. Uber One (Uber's subscription) provides discounts on rides and free delivery on Uber Eats orders — if you subscribed, you'll see a separate monthly charge for that.

Questions about Uber charges

Why is the Uber charge more than the estimated fare?
Uber's upfront price is an estimate. The final charge can differ if the driver took a different route, if there was unexpected traffic, or if surge pricing changed after you booked. Uber also adds a booking fee. If you think the charge is wrong, open the trip in the app and tap "Review my fare."
I didn't take an Uber — can I dispute the charge?
If you see an Uber charge you don't recognise and genuinely didn't take the trip, open the Uber app → Account → Your trips and check if the trip appears. If you don't have an Uber account or the trip isn't listed, contact Uber support immediately via the app's Help section, and report it to your bank as a fraudulent charge.
What is Uber One and how do I cancel it?
Uber One is Uber's monthly subscription offering discounts on rides and free delivery on eligible Uber Eats orders. To cancel: open the Uber app → Account → Uber One → Manage membership → Cancel membership. You keep benefits until the end of the billing period.
