How do I get a refund on Uber instead of credit?

Uber says it is possible to dispute a cancellation charge and get a refund instead of credit – you just have to request it the right way. If your driver cancels and you're charged, when you click into the trip in the app the top option should be 'Problem with my cancellation fee'.

An Uber driver can wait as long as they want, and still get paid for the ride, as long as the ride is not canceled. If the driver does cancel the ride, they will get paid only if they waited a minimum of 5 minutes. Some drivers will wait the 5 minutes so that they get paid something for the inconvenience.

Uber might charge you for a temporary authorization hold, which Uber positions after requesting a ride at an upfront regular fare price. The difference between actual Uber charges and fraudulent charges for an Uber rider may also be due to your friends or family members taking a ride using your account.

Why do I have two charges for the same trip? This can happen if you change your destination while you are on your trip, which may cause the final fare to be higher than the initial authorization amount. If a second authorization hold for the final full amount is unsuccessful, your bill may be split into two receipts.

Short and sweet: the pay is based on a limited form of supply and demand. I don't know what market you're in, but if that rate is too low for your market, drivers will not accept fares. If that rate is too high for your market, riders will not request rides.
