Can I cancel an Uber ride if its taking too long?

if you wait too long and the driver is on his way to you, then you might get a cancel fee. If the driver isnt moving, then this wont apply. You can, after two minutes, but you are more than likely going to be charged a fee. In most cases, it is better to be patient and wait it out.
