Am I charged for cancelling an Uber ride?
You can cancel a trip at any time through the Uber app, but may be charged a cancellation fee if you cancel after you're matched with your driver.
Cancellation fees pay driver-partners for the time and effort they spend getting to your location.
Ride requests should only be made when you're ready to ride and near the pickup location. This helps ensure smooth pickups for riders and driver-partners.
