Does Uber charge you if you cancel a reservation?

You can cancel at no charge up to 60 minutes before your reservation pickup time. If you cancel less than 60 minutes before your reservation, you'll be charged the cancellation fee below for your driver's time. You will not be charged a cancellation fee if no driver has confirmed your trip yet.



Yes, Uber typically charges a cancellation fee if you cancel an Uber Reserve trip, and these fees are generally higher than those for standard on-demand rides. In 2026, the policy allows you to cancel at no charge up to one hour before your scheduled pickup time. However, if you cancel within that final hour, you will likely be charged a fee to compensate the driver who has already committed to your trip and may be en route. For rental car reservations made through the Uber app, you can usually cancel at no cost until the pickup time for "Pay at Counter" options, but "Pay Now" reservations may require at least 48 hours' notice for a full refund. Because policies can vary slightly by city and ride type (such as Black vs. UberX), it is always best to check the "Terms and Conditions" specifically listed in your app's reservation receipt. This ensures you aren't surprised by a charge for a trip you no longer need.
